Installing Patches on Cell Manager and Installation Server

Data Protector client support is only available on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 systems. For

any data protection activity, these clients must be imported to a Cell Manager.

To import Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 clients to a Data Protector A.06.00 Cell Manager,

the Cell Manager must be patched with all the patches that contain Windows Vista and Windows Server

2008 client support. See “Support Matrix” section in this document for all the related Cell Manager patches.

To support Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 clients using an Installation Server, the Installation

Server must be patched with all the patches that contain Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 client

support. See “Support Matrix” section in this document for all the related Installation Server patches.

For patch installation procedures on the Data Protector Cell Manager and Installation Server, see the

documentation of the respective patches.

Installing the Cell Manager patches introduces the following changes:

 The registry on Windows Cell Manager is updated for DataDir field in the HKLM/SOFTWARE/Hewlett-

Packard/OpenView/OmniBackII/Common registry path. This value is equal to the InstallDir path on all

non-Windows Vista systems.
