MoM installation and setup
Prerequisites
You must choose a system for the MoM Manager. It should be a highly reliable system that is a
Data Protector Cell Manager with the software installed.
Install the required licenses on the MoM cell and on every prospective MoM client cell.
The Cell Managers are LAN connected. The Backup Media Servers are SAN connected to the
tape devices. The MoM server is LAN connected.
All servers are entered into the domain.
Overview of the installation
The MoM environment configuration procedure consists of several phases. You need to:
Install and configure a Cell Manager and/or media server on Windows and/or UNIX OS.
Set up the MoM Manager.
Import Data Protector cells into the MoM environment.
Create a Data Protector user in the admin user group on every cell in the MoM environment
who will act as the MoM administrator.
Restart Data Protector services.
Optionally, you can also configure a CMMDB, configure centralized licensing, and distribute
the MoM configuration.
Optionally, you can also configure Centralized Licensing.
Installing and configuring a Cell Manager and/or media server on Windows
Two configurations are possible:
1. Use dedicated tape drives for each Cell Manager. Tape media will be shared for both Cell
Managers through a common free pool; the drives will be dedicated to each individual Cell
Manager in the MoM configuration.
2. Configure the tape library to use the multi-path feature, adding the library into the
configuration for only one of the Cell Managers. The other Cell Managers will receive control
over the library robotics and shared tape drives via the multi-path configuration in Data
Protector.
