To install DPM, the following network configuration requirements must be
met. Contact your network administrator if you need assistance meeting
these requirements.

Your system must be on a network and have a valid IP address.

Your system must be a member of a domain.

All users must be logged on as domain users and be a member of the local
administrators group.

To configure your system to meet these requirements, refer to the following
sections in the Dell PowerVault Data Protection Solution Quick Start Guide:

"Network Configuration"

"Configuring Virtual Disks for DPM" section of the PowerVault Data
Protection Solution Storage Expansion Guide.

NOTE:

Do not add available or free disks to the DPM Storage pool at this time. That

task will be performed automatically when you run the PowerVault Data Protection
Solution Configuration Wizard after installing the DPM application.

Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 media that shipped
with your system. Installation steps are below.
