Locating the DPM Servers
DPM requires a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Domain Services directory services
structure to support its protection and recovery operations.
DPM can protect servers and workstations that are located in the same domain as the DPM
server or in a domain that has a two-way trust relationship with the domain that the DPM server is
located in.
When deciding where to locate your DPM server, consider the network bandwidth between the
DPM server and the protected computers.
DPM supports teamed network interface cards (NICs). Teamed NICs are multiple physical NICs
that are configured to be treated as a single NIC by the operating system. Teamed NICs provide
increased bandwidth by combining the bandwidth available using each NIC and failover to the
remaining NIC or NICs when a NIC fails. DPM can use the increased bandwidth achieved by
using teamed NICs on the DPM server.
Another consideration for the location of your DPM servers is the need to manage tapes and tape
libraries manually, such as adding new tapes to the library or removing tapes for offsite archive.
