HP Data Protector A.06.11 Support for VMware vStorage

Alternatively, you can instruct Data Protector to use Integrated security, in which case Data

Protector takes the user account under which the Data Protector Inet service on the Cell Manager

is running. Integrated security is based on Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI). Note that the

port and web root are still taken from the cell_info file.

You can specify Standard security or Integrated security using the Data Protector GUI or

CLI.

Using the Data Protector GUI

Open any backup specification for the VMware management client, go to the Source page, right-

click the client at the top, and click Configure.

To change or check the parameters at a later time, use the same procedure.

Using the Data Protector CLI

1. Log in to the backup host, open the command-line interface, and change to the following

directory:

Data_Protector_home\bin

2. Run:

– For Integrated security:

vepa_util.exe

command

--config

--virtual-environment VMware

--host VMwareManagementClient

--security-model 1

– For Standard security:

vepa_util.exe

command

--config

--virtual-environment VMware

--host VMwareManagementClient

--security-model 0

--username Username

{--password Password | --encoded-password Password}

[--webroot WebServiceRoot] (for example, /sdk)

[--port WebServicePort] (for example, 443)

The message *RETVAL*0 indicates successful configuration.

For option descriptions, see the vepa_util command description at the end of this document.

Configuring virtual machines

For each virtual machine, specify details on how to perform various backup methods:

How to handle virtual machine snapshots created during backup. Note that not all snapshot

handling modes support incremental and differential backups.

(Windows virtual machines only) Whether a quiescence snapshot should be taken to make

applications consistent for backups.

The type of transport mode to be used during backups.
