Related Documentation
Please refer to the HP Data Protector 6.0 documentation on the installation media,
especially the HP Data Protector 6.0 Installation and Licensing Guide.
The IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and Users Guide is helpful for configuring tape
drivers on HP-UX systems.
For more information about the commands for configuring Data Domain systems, see the
Data Domain Operating System Users Guide.
Prerequisites
The HP Cell Manager software should already be installed.
Restrictions
Note the following restrictions when using Data Domain systems with HP Data Protector
6.0:
Change the VTL drive concurrency level to 1 in the HP Data Protector software to get
optimal compression.
For HP-UX 11.1x use the IBM LTO drivers. They are available from IBM:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/
For HP-UX 11.23 and 11.31, use the native drivers.
For Solaris 10, install the sst driver from the HP Data Protector package for the
changer and add lines like the following to the file sst . conf :
name=sst par ent =f p t ar get =0 l un=0 f c- por t -
wwn=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Update the HP Data Protector 6.0 software and the media server operating system to
the latest available release.
If your installation server runs HPUX 11.31 PA RISC and you want to perform a
remote installation of HP Data Protector onto a Solaris 10 media server, first:
a. Patch Solaris 10 to Update 6.
b. Update HP Data Protector with patches 38943 and 38410.
It is likely that the above requirements apply to all remote installations of HP Data
Protector onto Solaris 10 systems, regardless of the installation server operating
system.
Use the HP Data Protector software to change the VTL block size for each VTL drive
to 256 KB. Note that, if you are copying from the VTL to another target library, the
target library must support a media block size of 256 KB.
Linux Configuration Settings
HP Data Protector 6.1 Media Agent (MA) and Disk Agent (DA) running on the same
RHEL 5 or SLES 11 Linux server with default xi net d. conf settings will have a
maximum stream count of 5 for RHEL_5 and 15 for SLES_11.
Each Media Agent and/or Disk Agent initiates one XINET instance. To increase the
maximum number of XINET instances (increase the maximum stream count), HP
recommends editing the value of the following Linex XINET parameters:
1. Edit / et c/ xi net d. conf .
a. RHEL 5.5 x86_64
i nst ances = <i ncr ease t o desi r ed maxi mumst r eamcount >
per _sour ce = <i ncr ease t o desi r ed maxi mumst r eamcount >
b. SLES 11 SP1 x86_64
i nst ances = <i ncr ease t o desi r ed maxi mumst r eamcount >
2. Restart the xi net d service or reboot the system.
# service xinetd restart
or
#/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Note: This could be applicable to other Linux distributions and previous versions of
HPDP as well.
NFS and CIFS Configuration Settings

4. Select the file or folder to back up.
5. Select the backup target and the VTL tape drive .
6. Start the backup.
Figure 10: Backup Example
Replication for VTL Media Pools
Follow these steps to configure replication:
1. Create the replication relationship between two Data Domain systems (the source
and destination unit relationship).
2. Replicate to the destination Data Domain system.
3. Configure the VTL drives and robot on the destination Data Domain system.
4. Discover and configure the destination VTL in HP Data Protector.
5. Export tapes from the source VTL by using the DD OS command vt l expor t .
6. Perform a barcode scan in HP Data Protector on the source VTL.
7. Import tapes into the Destination VTL using the DD OS command vt l i mpor t .
8. Perform a barcode scan in HP Data Protector.
It is now possible to restore from the destination Data Domain system.
See the Data Domain Operating System Users Guide for more detailed instructions.
Replication in an NFS Backup Environment
This section describes a method on for restoring or copying data from a Data Domain
replication destination restorer to an HP Data Protector 6.0 server.
Note: The HP Data Protector servers used in Data Domain testing were running SUSE
Linux 10.
Requirements
The remote HP Data Protector server must be running the same OS as the original HP
Data Protector server that sent data to the restorer.
The remote HP Data Protector needs to mount the destination restorer using the same
mount path as the original HP Data Protector server.
HP Data Protector must have the latest patch installed.
The Data Domain restorers in the replication pair must use the same DD OS version.
Two HP Data Protector servers each with its own HP Data Protector catalog database.
HP Data Protector Server A and HP Data Protector Server B need to use the same
mount path and same parameters.
Environment Overview
Figure 11 shows an example backup environment.
Figure 11: NFS Backup Environment
Configuring NFS Replication
This procedure refers to the environment in Figure 11.
1. On Server A, mount the / backup NFS share from Data Domain system A (San
Francisco).
2. Change (cd) to that mount directory and create a directory for storing the HP Data
Protector backup data.
In this example, use / ddr / dat a as the mount path, with a directory called dat a.
3. Configure replication on the restorers and initialize replication so that data from Data
Domain system A is replicated to Data Domain system B (Alaska).
4. On Server B, create the same mount point that is used by Server A.
Server A
SUSE 10

5. Mount the NFS share / backup from Data Domain system B.
In our example, when you cd to / ddr you should see the directory data when you run
the l s command. The permissions for the directory should be read-only.
6. Verify the permissions by trying to create a file or directory in the data directory. The
attempt should fail.
7. Create the HP Data Protector device on Server B with the same path as Server A.
In our example the HP Data Protector device would have the following path: / ddr /
dat a.
8. From the server in San Francisco, run a backup to Data Domain system A.
9. When the backup to Data Domain system A is complete, copy the Server A
configuration to a file. Use the following command:
omnidownload library libraryname -file filename
In our example, the command is:
omnidownload library library-A file /tmp/file_serverA
The following is a sample downloaded file:
NAME " l i br ar y- A"
DESCRI PTI ON " "
HOST Ser ver A. dat adomai n. com
POLI CY Fi l el i br ar y
TYPE Fi l e
REPOSI TORY
" / dd/ dd560- 1/ hpdp- 6/ 0200007f 546434f 4150e3950004. f d"
" / dd/ dd560- 1/ hpdp- 6/ 0200007f 5464359db50e3950007. f d"
" / dd/ dd560- 1/ hpdp- 6/ 0200007f 5464367cb50e395000a. f d"
" / dd/ dd560- 1/ hpdp- 6/ 0200007f 54643716a50e395000d. f d"

DI RECTORY
" 51200 2 0 10 / dd/ dd560- 1/ hpdp- 6"
MGMTCONSOLEURL " "
10. Edit the configuration file that you created with the omni downl oad command and
change the NAME and HOST parameters to reflect the Server B device name and new
host server.
11. After making the changes, save the file.
The edited file would be similar to the following example, with changes to the first
and third lines:
NAME " library-B"
DESCRI PTI ON " "
HOST ServerB.datadomain.com
TYPE Fi l e
REPOSI TORY
" / dd/ dd560- 1/ hpdp- 6/ 0200007f 546434f 4150e3950004. f d"

DI RECTORY
" 51200 2 0 10 / dd/ dd560- 1/ hpdp- 6"
MGMTCONSOLEURL " "
12. Copy the edited file to Server B.
13. On Server B run the following command:
omniupload modify_library libraryname -file filename
In our example, the command would be the following, where f i l e_ser ver A is the
edited file that was copied over from Server A:
omniupload modify_library library-B file /tmp/file_serverA
A new icon should appear in the File Depot's Name column on the HP Data Protector
management graphical user interface. The icon should show a question mark (circled
in Figure 12). The question mark means that the data is present but not recognized by
HP Data Protector on Server B.
Figure 12: Data is Not Yet Recognized.
14. To import the file depot, right-click the new icon and select Import.
Figure 13 shows the new icon after the import finishes.
Note: The imported data comes from the restorer that is associated with Server B:
Data Domain system B in our example. For the import to Server B to succeed,
replication of the data from Data Domain system A to Data Domain system B must be
complete. A scan failure typically means that the data is not yet replicated to Data
Domain system B.
Figure 13: Import has Finished
15. You can now copy the recently imported data to another device.
Replication in a CIFS Backup Environment
For replicating backups stored on CIFS shares in an HP Data Protector environment, the
process is the same as described in Replication in an NFS Backup Environment on
page 12 for NFS. However, the information that needs to be changed in the file you
export with the omni downl oad command in Step 9 on Page 14 is slightly different.
The following is a sample file created by using the omni downl oad command:
NAME " dd510- 3"
DESCRI PTI ON " Dat a Domai n Rest or er "
HOST yoda2. ae. dat adomai n. com

Edit the configuration file that you created with the omni downl oad command and change
the NAME and HOST parameters to reflect the replica appliance device name and name of
the replica host server, and change the name of the UNC path in the REPOSI TORY section
of the file.
Starting from the example file shown on the previous page, the next example changes the
library information to reflect that the replica CIFS data is on a Data Domain system called
dd510- 6, connected to host yoda1, and named dd510- 6 under devi ces in the HP Data
Protector cell.

MultiPath (Library Sharing) Configuration
This procedure explains how to share a VTL library between HP Data Protector servers.
HP Data Protector refers to this feature as MultiPath.
Prerequisites
The VTL must already be configured.
The Data Domain systems must use DD OS 4.4.x.x or later. Earlier versions did not
support multi-initiator access.
Every shared server needs to be in a separate group. This separate groups needs to
include the shared library and the initiators of a specific server.
Procedure for Sharing a Library
To share a VTL library:
1. On the Data Domain system, enable access to the VTL from each HP Data Protector
server.
a. Configure VTL groups.
b. Create a group with the hosts and VTLs to be shared.
For an example of a group configuration, see Example Group Configuration on
page 22.
2. Establish communication between the HP Data Protector servers that will share the
VTL drives.
The servers should appear under Clients. See Figure 14.
Figure 14: Verifying Client Communication
3. Configure the VTL devices on each HP Data Protector server.
To use the Autoconfiguration wizard:
a. Select Devices & Media, select Devices, and right-click and select Auto Configure
Devices.
b. In the Client Systems page of the wizard, select the hosts that will share the VTL.
See Figure 15.
Figure 15: Device Autoconfiguration wizard, Client Systems page
c. In the Devices page of the wizard, choose the library and drives that correspond
to the VTL. See Figure 16.
Figure 16: Device Autoconfiguration wizard, Devices page
d. Also in the Devices page of the wizard, confirm that Automatically Configure
MultiPath devices is selected.
4. To use a specific drive for a backup, assign the drive when you define the Backup
Task.
a. Choose the clients and object to back up.
b. Select the library and drives.
c. Open the Device Properties dialog box by selecting the drive and clicking
Properties > Use Preferred MultiPath Host > hostname.
d. Assign the drive to a client as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17: Device Properties dialog box
