Importing Cell Managers
Importing a Data Protector cell into a MoM environment allows it to be centrally managed by the
MoM Manager.
Cluster clients identify themselves to the MoM Manager with their virtual server names. If you
import a cluster in a MoM environment, use only its virtual server name.
1. In the MoM, click Clients in the Context List.
2. Right-click Enterprise Clients and then click Import Cell Manager.
3. Select a Cell Manager to import and click Finish.

4. Restart the MoM GUI to browse the imported Cell Managers.

Configuring CMMDB
Set up a CMMDB if you want to have central media management. If you do not set up a
CMMDB, each cell will have its own MMDB.
During the configuration, you can choose to have local MMDBs merged into the CMMDB. You
can decide for each cell if it will use the CMMDB or its own local MMDB.
Once you have configured the CMMDB and start using it, you cannot split it back into local
MMDBs. You should not try to recover the old state of an MMDB, but rather create a new
MMDB from scratch.
