1 Introduction In this chapter This chapter provides an overview of the HP Data Protector Integration, its key features and its architecture. For descriptions of HP Data Protector and HP Operations Manager, see the HP Data Protector concepts guide and the HP Operations Manager concepts guide.
Cell Manager system, which is an Operations Manager managed node. The Data Protector Cell Manager system must have the Operations Manager Agent and should have the HP Performance Agent (PA) installed. The Data Protector Console must be installed on the Operations Manager Server.
The integration policies, such as policies to monitor Data Protector logfiles, SNMP traps, database and processes, define the conditions on which the Operations Manager Agent will send messages to the Operations Manager Server for display in Operations Manager message browser. Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows...
Data Protector Console installed on the same system. • Operations Manager Agent running on systems with the Data Protector Cell Manager. Before installing the Data Protector Integration, ensure that the requirements described in the sections below are met. Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows...
Data Protector supported versions The Data Protector Integration is designed to work with the following HP Data Protector versions: Table 2 HP Data Protector availability Data Protector Version HP Operations Manager for Windows 5.5, 6.0, 6.1, 6.11 7.5/8.0/8.1 plus patches, if available...
Ensure Data Protector is installed on a platform for which the Performance Agent is available. Data Protector supports PA 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7. For the support matrix and more details about PA configuration, see the HP Data Protector PA/PM integration guide and the associated PA product documentation.
• The solution scales better. Additional Data Protector Cell Managers do not put additional load on the management server because SNMP traps are processed on the managed node. • Any automatic action configured as a response to an SNMP trap can be triggered and run locally on the managed node without involving the management server.
Repeat this until all designated nodes are installed. The installation of the first cluster node differs from the installation of subsequent nodes. Installation To install the software on the management server, run the dpspi-06.11.0000.msi executable file. Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows...

Configure the Windows system to forward its SNMP traps to the Operations Manager Server as follows: To enable Data Protector to send SNMP traps, run the command: omnisnmp To set the SNMP mode execute the following command: ovconfchg -ns eaagt -set SNMP_SESSION_MODE NO_TRAPD Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows...
Configure the SNMP Service on a Windows system to send traps to the Operations Manager Server. The community name should be public (the default community name that Data Protector SNMP traps use). The trap destination must be the IP address or the hostname of the Operations Manager Server and the rights of the community must be READ CREATE.

The SPI for DataProtector policy group contains: • DP-SPI NT Policies • DP-SPI UX Policies Both are assigned by default to the DP UX MGRS node group for automatic deployment to any node added to this node group. Run the Add DP Cell tool and the appropriate policy group is automatically deployed to the newly added Data Protector Cell Manager.
• Messages originating from a monitored log file set this parameter to the name of the log file. • Messages originating from a monitor set it to the name of the monitor. Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows...
Node groups Node groups are logical groups of systems or devices assigned together with message groups to an operator to manage. Each node group is represented by an icon in the Nodes tab/context in the OM window. Open a node group to view all systems within it.

Using tools and reports Tools usually execute on the management server or managed nodes. The Add DP Cell tool runs on the system where the console for the OM Management Server resides. The user name and password may be stored with the tool properties or you may have to enter them when you run the tool.
The service tree for Data Protector Cell Managers is automatically created after the Add DP Cell tool is run and the DP_Service_Discovery policy is automatically deployed to the Cell Manager. On installing the Data Protector Integration, the following service tree type definition is loaded: Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows...
The following service tree nodes are available for each cell: Table 3 Cell service tree nodes Node Description Contains Running, Waiting, Aborted, Failed, backup group. Completed, Completed with Failures, and Completed Backup Sessions with Errors. Data Protector sends SNMP traps to trigger the update of these items.
