Manager-of-Managers
The Data Protector Manager-of-Managers (MoM) allows administrators
to centrally manage a large environment consisting of several Data
Protector cells, also known as MoM clients, from a single point. Refer to
the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Concepts Guide for further
details about the enterprise environment.
NOTE Each MoM client and the MoM Manager need to run the same version of
Data Protector.
The Data Protector MoM is flexible enough to expand the backup
environment as the enterprise grows. It provides the following features:
Centralized management of all tasks
Enables configuration, management, and control over
the enterprise environment from a single point. This
includes configuring backup, media management,
restoring, and monitoring; and reporting about the
status of the whole backup environment.
Centralized Media Management Database
Optionally, all the cells in the environment can share a
common, central database to manage devices and
media within the enterprise. The Centralized Media
Management Database (CMMDB) enables you to share
high-end devices between cells. This means that any
device in a cell using the CMMDB is available to all
cells using the CMMDB.
Centralized licensing
Data Protector enables you to configure centralized
licensing for the whole MoM environment. All Data
Protector licenses are installed and kept on the MoM
Manager and can be allocated to specific cells as
needed.
