Overview

HP Data Protector software

 
Introduction
HP Data Protector software automates high-performance backup and recovery with scalable data protection from disk or tape to enable 24x7 business continuity while providing a compelling price to performance ratio.

As an important component of the fast-growing HP Software portfolio, HP Data Protector software is an integral part of HP's Business Continuity and Availability (BC&A) strategy. Appropriate for medium and large companies in any industry, Data Protector is the ideal solution to reduce IT costs and complexity while remaining reliable and scalable to grow from single server environments to the largest distributed enterprise infrastructures. Data Protector Software responds to the pressure for lower IT costs and greater operational efficiency by offering acquisition and deployment costs which are 30 - 70 % less than the competition. The licensing model is simple and easy to understand, helping to reduce complexity. Extensive scalability and features for continuous backup and recovery operations enable growth with a single product.

What's New

Improving Support for Virtualization

Data Protector 6.1 now offers enhanced support for VMware and Hyper-V environments, through a fully integrated application agent. With this new application agent, the user can initiate or schedule a snapshot-based, on-line backup of virtual machines at any time - and it can all be managed through the Data Protector GUI.

HP Data Protector Software also supports several other virtualized environments, such as Citrix XenServer, Sun Solaris Zones, , and HP Integrity VM. For Citrix XenServer, users can load the Data Protector agents directly on the virtual machines for application-level backup and recovery, or install the agent on a proxy server - enabling online or offline snapshot-based backup and recovery. And with other operating systems, such as HP Integrity VM and Sun Solaris Zones, users can load a Data Protector agent directly on the hosting OS - enabling SAN-based backups, and enabling robust disaster recovery by providing the capability to protect and restore an entire VM with crash-consistent, snapshot-based backups at the click of a button.

So… choose your hypervisor, and Data Protector will be there to back you up!

Optimizing Storage Capacity

With HP Data Protector 6.1, you can now optimize the storage capacity of your environment in a number of ways. The synthetic and virtual full features of Data Protector are unique in the industry, and offer a seamless way to consolidate a series of incremental backups on to virtually any disk or tape-based media destination quickly and easily. Best of all, this can be accomplished without placing any additional burden on the network, or on the systems themselves.

For virtual tape libraries offering de-duplication capabilities, Data Protector takes full advantage of those features - allowing companies to store up to 50 times as much data in the same amount of disk space (see: www.hp.com/go/dataprotector, and click "Support Matrices" for the latest list of supported devices). And with products like the HP Virtual Library System, Data Protector achieves a tighter level of integration than any competitor through its newly added support for the Smart Copy feature. This new feature provides automated and transparent movement of data between the VLS and physical tape libraries.

Lowering Total Cost of Ownership

From licensing and support pricing, to automated agent installation and easy-to-use software, HP Data Protector has always led the industry in delivering an enterprise solution with extremely low cost of ownership. Data Protector advances its leadership in this area even further with the version 6.1 release, through the following enhancements.

Ensuring Security Compliance - Keeping your data secure is now easier than ever with the new centralized key management feature in Data Protector 6.1. With a Data Protector solution, users have the choice of client-based encryption for end-to-end security of their data, or they can take advantage of the encryption functionality in LTO4 tape drives for encryption with no performance impact on backup speeds.

Enabling Continuous Data Protection - For systems running Windows 2000 and above, HP Data Protector Software now has the ability to utilize the built-in Microsoft Windows Change Journal to quickly generate a list of files that have been altered since the last backup was performed. Enhancing Application and Platform Coverage - HP Data Protector Software 6.1 continues to add to its broad list of supported hardware, applications, and platforms. Recent additions include Windows 2008 and Vista support, Exchange 2007 enhancements, and new versions of SAP, Oracle, Informix, DB2, along with many others. Check the Data Protector support matrix for more details (available at: www.hp.com/go/dataprotector).

NOTE: The figures indicate requirements for the components only. For example the "disk space" figure does not include space allocation for the operating system, page file or other applications.


HP-UX Systems

When installing or upgrading remotely, the available disk space in the folder /tmp should be at least of the same size as the biggest package being installed.


Solaris Systems

When installing a Media Agent, make sure that the following entry is in the file /etc/system: set semsys:seminfo semmni=100

When installing or upgrading remotely, the available disk space in folders /tmp and /var/tmp should be at least the size of the biggest package being installed.

The Solaris installation DVD-ROM is in the pkg stream format, which is not recognized by the standard tar utility. That is why the HP-UX, and not the Solaris installation DVD-ROM must be used for the local installation/upgrade of Solaris clients.

NOTES:
1Memory requirements for the GUI system vary significantly with the number of elements that need to be displayed at a time. This consideration applies to the worst case (like expanding a single directory). You do not need to consider all directories and file names on a client, unless you want to expand all directories while viewing. It has been shown that 2 MB memory are required per 1,000 elements (directories or file names) to display plus a base need for about 50 MB. So the 256 MB of RAM are enough to display about the maximum number of file names.

2Regarding the disk space, keep in mind that the page file alone should be able to grow to about 3 times the physical memory.

3In addition to RAM and disk space requirements, Java GUI requires a faster processor than original GUI: at least 1 GHz Pentium III or equivalent is required, while a 2.6 GHz Pentium IV or equivalent is recommended.
The figures indicate requirements for the components only. For example the "disk space" figure does not include space allocation for the operating system, page file or other applications.


Newer Windows Operating Systems and Service Packs

Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 introduce an improved version of the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), under a new name as Microsoft Firewall. The firewall is turned on by default. During the installation of a new Data Protector client using the Installation Server, the installation agent is started on the remote computer. The Installation Server then connects to this agent through the Data Protector cell port (by default 5555). However, if Microsoft Firewall is running, the connection cannot be established and the installation fails.

To resolve this, perform one of the following steps:

  • Configure Windows Firewall to allow connection through a specific port.
  • If the omnirc variable OB2FWPASSTHRU is set on the Installation Server, the installation agent automatically registers itself with Windows Firewall and the installation continues normally.

Java web reporting

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5.0_06 or newer update (for example, 1.5.0_07) must be installed on the system and enabled in the Web browser. The supported browsers are Netscape Navigator 4.7.x, Netscape 7.x, Mozilla 1.7 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.

You can download a JRE plug-in for Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator browsers at: http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/.


Novell NetWare
  • Any Novell NetWare system that is part of a Data Protector cell must have TCP/IP version 3.1 or later installed.
  • Novell Netware 6.5 must have the Support pack 1 or later installed.

Local Client
Installation
UNIX clients are installed locally using the installation script omnisetup. sh. You can install the client locally from the HP-UX DVD-ROM or Installation Server installation CD-ROM and import it to the Cell Manager using automated procedure.

For the installation procedure see the HP Data Protector installation and licensing guide.
MPE/iX, Novell NetWare, and HP OpenVMS clients can be installed locally. Remote installation is not supported.

Upgrade The procedures for upgrading to Data Protector A.06.10 from Data Protector A.05.10, A.05.50, and A.06.00 are documented in the HP Data Protector Installation and Licensing guide.

To upgrade from an even earlier version, you need to first upgrade to Data Protector A.05.10, and then upgrade to Data Protector A.06.10 following the procedures in the HP Data Protector installation and licensing guide.

Software Licensing The Data Protector software 6.1 product structure is based on performance.

The more drive licenses that are installed, the more tape drives can be used for backup in parallel, thus the faster the backup will be performed. The product structure is modular and offers a lot of flexibility. You can order the license that provides the Data Protector software functionality, which best meets the specific requirements of your environment. The Data Protector software 6.1 product structure and licensing consists of three main categories:

  • The Starter Packs: A management server (Cell Manager) is supported on HP-UX,
    Windows, Solaris and Linux.
  • Additional tape drive licenses, referred to as Drive Extensions, for one drive.
  • Data Protector Functional Extensions: The functional extensions licenses are required once per instance (system, library and terabyte) for on-line backup of databases and applications, the Manager-of-Managers functionality, for libraries with more than 60 media slots, for open file backup, direct backup, Instant Recovery, NDMP, and zero downtime backup.

NOTE: The UNIX product licenses operate on the UNIX, Windows and Novell NetWare platforms, providing the functionality regardless of the platform, while the Windows product licenses operate on the Windows, Novell NetWare and Linux platforms only. Passwords are bound to the Cell Manager and are valid for the entire Data Protector cell. Clients do not require any license for file system or disk image backups.

Includes the license-to-use (LTU) to perform on-line backup of databases and applications running on the specified platform. Required per server, it does not matter how many databases are running on the system. Even if databases of different types are running on the same system, only one license is required. As a general rule, every system responsible for storing application data to be protected in an online state requires a Data Protector online extension.

  • If a system runs multiple partitions, this LTU is required for each partition.
  • In a cluster environment, each system participating in the cluster requires a LTU.
  • In an Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster) each cluster node with an installed Application Agent requires one on-line license.
  • On-line backup licenses are required for Zero Downtime Backup.
  • Open file backup using the Windows file system snapshot feature VSS (Volume Shadow copy Service) does not require the on-line backup license. However, on-line backup of databases, which are not part of the operating system, require this on-line backup extension. System configuration backup does not require the on-line backup extension.
  • Required for MS Exchange Single Mailbox backup
  • Each node with a configured Oracle DataGuard standby database in Data Protector requires this license.
  • Not required for HP Network Node Manager on-line backup
  • Not required for HP Systems Insight Manager on-line backup.
  • For supported databases please refer to the Data Protector support matrixes under:
    http://www.hp.com/go/dataprotector

Online Extension Licensing in Virtual Environments

  • VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) and VMware ESX/ESXi Server backup require one Windows / Linux license per ESX server, ESXi server, VCB Proxy, VMware Virtual Center, and any file server participating in the backup and restore process.
  • NOTE: Licenses are only required for physical servers. Example: A VCB file-level restore into a virtual machine does not require an additional license as long as the ESX server it resides on is already covered by a license.
  • Microsoft Hyper-V environments require one Windows/Linux license per physical Hyper-V server.
  • Additional online extensions are required for each virtual machine that contains application-specific agents.
  • For virtual environments, the same licensing requirements apply for VSS snapshots - see ZDB/IR licensing section for more details.
  • Online backup of an application/database on a VMware Virtual Machine requires one license per virtual machine.Previous script-based solutions can continue to be used without additional licensing, but those scripts are no longer supported by HP and need to be maintained by the customer on versions Data Protector 6.1 and beyond.

Online Extension Licensing for Microsoft SharePoint

  • For SharePoint environments, an Online Backup extension is required for each physical system that contains persistent data, such as content databases or index servers.

B7038CA
B7038CAE

Includes the license-to-use (LTU) for 1 TB of backup disk storage. Required once per terabyte (TB) usable native capacity of backup disk storage.
- The "Advanced Backup to Disk" license is required to backup to a Data Protector file library and can be used instead of drive licenses to backup to a Virtual Tape Library.
- Usable native capacity of a HP Data Protector file library is the size on disk of all files used for the file library, as reported by the file system.

  • HP Data Protector synthetic full and virtual full backup: Virtual full backups and the incremental backups to be consolidated into a synthetic / virtual full backup must be stored in the HP Data Protector file library, which requires this license.
  • Usable native capacity of a Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is the size on disk of the virtual tape library consumed by all protected HP Data Protector backups as reported by the VTL.
  • For each VTL you can choose whether to use the backup to disk or tape drive licensing model. Within one VTL, both concepts cannot be mixed.
  • By default, HP Data Protector treats VTL devices as ordinary libraries (such as SCSI II libraries). To utilize the advanced backup to disk licenses, the device must be marked as a VTL during the device configuration. See the online Help index entry: "virtual tape library" for more information.
  • If the VTL has a built-in capability to migrate backup data to cheaper disk or tape, the migrated storage capacity must also be fully licensed. No drive and library licenses are required for the tape library exclusively controlled by the VTL, but the used capacity of all tapes in the physical tape library must be licensed. In some cases it may be more cost-effective to use the tape drive licensing model instead (B6953AA and B6963AA). This requirement does not apply when HP Data Protector object copy is used to migrate the backup data to another disk or tape.
    • Licensing for HP VLS Automigration - Automigration is a VLS media copy feature in Data Protector and can free up additional capacity on a VLS device by migrating data. Therefore, licensing for the migrated data is required, and the capacity of the media used for migration needs to be added to the total disk capacity of the VLS. In some cases it may be more cost effective to switch to drive licensing completely, as described above.
    • Licensing for VTL Replication: In cases where Data Protector is actively managing source and target devices in a replication set-up, licensing is required for both devices. In cases where Data Protector is not actively managing the target device, only the source device needs to be licensed. This includes the VLS Echo Copy feature, which is treated as replication.
  • If Advanced Backup to Disk licensing was purchased before July 1st, 2008, HP is fully committed to protect customers' investments. This means you can choose to use this license for the VTL under the previous licensing terms: "Usable native capacity of a VTL is the space occupied by protected backups and protected backup copies and mirrors according to the Data Protector internal database. To keep virtual tape library licensing stress free and simple a compression rate of 2:1 is assumed for VTLs with no extra charge." Please note that using the previous model only makes sense if you do not use compression or deduplication technology. Otherwise, a better value is provided through the new licensing model.
  • If HP Data Protector is using the VTL exclusively, it is recommended to license a quantity matching the capacity of the VTL. HP calls the physical VTL capacity "usable native capacity". Other vendors call it "raw capacity".
  • Due to this size on disk licensing concept, compression rates and deduplication rates do not need to be considered. The RAID configuration also does not need to be considered.
  • 1 TB = 1024 GB, 1 GB = 1024 MB, 1 MB = 1024 KB, 1 KB = 1024 bytes
  • In case of central licensing with MoM, at minimum 1 TB needs to be assigned to each Cell using the Advanced Backup to Disk functionality.

B7025DAE

Includes the license-to-use (LTU) for one terabyte (TB) of used disk space capacity of the specified disk array type protected by zero downtime backup (ZDB), utilizing one of the following:

  • HP Business Copy XP/EVA/VA
  • HP Continuous Access XP
  • EMC TimeFinder
  • EMC SRDF.

Used disk space capacity is the total capacity of all primary volumes on the disk array that are protected by Zero Downtime Backup or Instant Recovery (i.e. Primary means the original production data volumes). This amount represents the total true usable capacity of these volumes corresponding with their configured LDEV sizes. Data Protector does not require licenses for the capacity consumed by the secondary volumes, mirrors, and snapshots that are used for data protection.

- Used capacity differs from raw capacity in that RAID overhead is excluded. This means the RAID configuration does not need to be considered.

NOTE: A Data Protector on-line backup LTU (B6955BA, B6965BA) is required for Zero Downtime Backup. The Windows 2003 file system snapshot feature VSS (Volume Shadow copy Service) is supported at no extra charge. However, backup via a hardware provider requires this ZDB extension. For example, file system snapshot, MS Exchange Server, MS SQL Server, MS SharePoint, and MS Hyper-V all backup via an HP disk array provider.
