4 After the disks are created, connect to the DPM VM, and initialize the disk by using Disk Manager.
5 Add the disks to the DPM storage pool. For information about how to do this, see Congure storage pools and disk storage.
Monitoring DPM
DPM automatically backs up data according to the backup settings.
At times, DPM backups might fail. For example, a communication failure may occur with the SQL Servers, the SQL Servers may not be
running, or there may be other connection issues.
Dell recommends that you regularly monitor DPM. Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft installs DPM, the DPM Central Console, and the
managemen
t pack that is integrated with Operations Manager. You can monitor all failure alerts in Operations Manager. To do this:
1 Log on to the Console VM by using an account that is a member of the <
Prex >Ops-Admins group.
2 Open the Operations Console.
3 In the Monitoring workspace, expand System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager to see the Alert and State views and any
associa
ted alerts.
