administrative effort.
•
Real-time event and configuration information (including online instructions) for
fast problem resolution.
•
Powerful monitors to detect potential problem areas and to keep track of system
and Data Protector events.
•
Performance data collectors to ensure continuous system throughput and notify
any performance bottlenecks.
•

•
Collection and monitoring of performance data.
•
A central data repository for storing event records and action records for all Data
Protector managed nodes.
•
Utilities for running Data Protector management tasks.
•
Allowing Operations Manager users to start the Data Protector GUI and use Data
Protector functionality from the Operations Manager Server.
•
Enabling users to visualize the state of health of their Data Protector Cell Managers
and overall backup environment by examining the Backup Session, Data, and
Trend reports available with the ReporterLite integration that is part of Operations
Manager for Windows.
Data Protector Integration architecture
The Data Protector Integration is installed on the Operations Manager Server system
and is deployed to instrument its Operations Manager Agent on the Data Protector
Cell Manager system, which is an Operations Manager managed node. The Data
Protector Cell Manager system must have the Operations Manager Agent and should
have the HP Performance Agent (PA) installed. The Data Protector Console must be
installed on the Operations Manager Server.
Once installed, the Operations Manager user can start the Data Protector graphical
user interface (GUI) as an Operations Manager application and connect to any
available Data Protector Cell Manager. Both Windows and UNIX Data Protector Cell
Managers are accessible. This is facilitated by the Data Protector Console using the
Data Protector communication protocol on port 5555 to exchange data.
