The Data Protector Integration

The Data Protector Integration enables you to monitor and manage the health and
performance of your Data Protector environment using HP Operations Manager and
the HP Performance Agent (PA).
The integration allows correlation of Data Protector performance data with the
performance data of the operating system, the database, and the network—all from
one common tool and in one central management system. Integration of Data Protector
performance data into the PA helps to detect and eliminate bottlenecks in a distributed
environment. It also assists system optimization well as service level monitoring.
The Data Protector Integration offers the following key features:
• HP Operations Manager agents on a Data Protector Cell Manager system monitor
the health and performance of Data Protector.
• A single Operations Manager Server can monitor multiple Data Protector Cell
Managers.
• The integration also depicts the functionality of Data Protector as a service tree.
• The ARM and DSI interfaces of the Performance Agent collect performance data
and ARM transactions.
• Messages sent to Operations Manager Server are channeled according to user
profiles. Operations Manager users see only messages they need.
• The Data Protector Cell Manager and the Operations Manager Server to be in-
stalled on different systems.
