This document is based on tests that were done with PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 and Cyber Recovery 19.13.
You should read the PowerProtect Data Manager administration and user guide carefully to understand how to get ready for a server DR and how to recover from a server DR backup.
CAUTION: PowerProtect Data Manager recovery requires deployment of a new PowerProtect Data Manager server and changing/copying/overriding data on the DD system.
-- Do not perform the steps in this document on your production environment as part of a test.
-- Perform these steps only on a production environment in a real situation where you need to restore data from the vault.
-- Be aware that it can lead to production data loss if not performed carefully.
This document describes the process when using the vault DD’s ethV1 network interface that is used for the replication from the production DD to the vault DD.
Following the steps in this document requires some changes in your environment to allow traffic from the vault DD to the production DD that is using that network interface.
There is an option to add another network interface to the vault DD to replicate the data from the vault DD to the production DD system using a dedicated network interface. The new network interface pair will provide a dedicated connection and will not interfere with the production replication. The new interface pair will require:
