Screenshot

Modify-PG setting across all DPM Scenario Admin manages 30 DPM servers Needs to change retention range etc. in all PG Today Manually TS into 30 DPM Servers Open DPM UI Run through Modify-PG in each Close UI and disconnect $DPM = import-csv DPMserver. List. csv foreach $DPM { Connect-DPMServer $_ $PG= Get-PG foreach $PG { Get-Modifiable. Protection. Group $_ | Set-Policy. Objective –shortterm – Retentionrange 10 | Set-Protection. Group } Disconnect-DPMServer }

Fix Replica Invalid problem Scenario Operator gets alert on replica invalid in System Center Operations Manager Need to run consistency check on datasource Today Manually TS ‘the’ DPM Server Open DPM UI Go to alert and click on recommended action Close UI and disconnect With CLI, for an operator (cc –DPMServer –PS –DS) Connect-DPMServer –server. Name $arg[0] $PG = Get-Protection. Group foreach $PG { $DS = Get-Datasource foreach $DS { if(($_. PSName –eq arg[1]) && ($_. DSName –eq arg[2])) {$my. DS = $_} } } Cck $my. DS #another module that runs CC Disconnect-DPMServer

Protection: Other Scenarios Add new servers to existing PG Changing Disk allocation MSIT most common alert Find the DPM server protecting a PS PS Admin wants recovery, Admin finds DPM server

Simple Recovery for operators Scenario Operator gets ticket for recovery Today Manually find which DPM server is protecting production server from an excel sheet Manually Term. Srv into DPM Server Open DPM UI Go to Recovery wizard & recover Close UI and disconnect With CLI, for an operator (recover –PS –DS) Connect-DPMServer –server. Name $arg[0] $PG = Get-Protection. Group foreach $PG { $DS = Get-DS foreach $DS { if(($_. PSName –eq arg[1]) && ($_. DSName –eq arg[2])) {$my. DS = $_} } } Recover. psh $my. DS Disconnect-DPMServer

Recovery: Other Scenarios EUR (for apps, web-based etc. )

Library/Drive Status and Inventory Scenario Admin wants to know status of libraries attached to all 30 DPM Servers Also run inventory on all unknown tape Today Manually TS into each DPM Server Open DPM UI Go to LMUI and update Excel with Library/Drive status Select all unknown media in library and do inventory Close UI and disconnect With CLI, for an operator get-librarystatus. psh status. csv Start. Inventory. psh Get-Library | export-csv status. csv $Tape = Get-Library | Get-tape Foreach $Tape { if ($_. State –eq ‘Unknown’) { Inventory-Tape $_} Start-DPMLibrary. Inventory $Tape -Detailed. Inventory }

Library & Tape: Other scenarios Finding the tape Tape with <barcode> is needed for recovery Finding all tapes for offsite or that are decommissioned Web based status of all Library and Drives in an org

Other Scenarios Simple dashboards for showing status for all DPM servers Datacenters Web-based protection status Web-based DPM Management (ISV) Break-fix from MOM (limited)

Backup Scripting Pre-backup & Post-backup

Scripting Overview DPM provides support for backing up custom applications using scripts Pre-backup script Post-backup script For each custom data source on the PS a pair of pre/post scripts can be provisioned DPM runs scripts using a local account Scripts should have Read & Execute permissions for Admin and local accounts only
