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.  
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.

installed on different systems.

You can run Data Protector functionality from the Operations Manager tool group  
window.  
Data Protector Integration messages sent to the Operations Manager Server  
includes instructions that help you correct the problem.  
The main benefits of the integration are:  
Centralized problem management using Operations Manager agents at Data  
Protector managed nodes. Using a central management server avoids duplicated  
administrative effort.  
Real-time event and configuration information (including online instructions) for  
fast problem resolution.  
Powerful monitors to detect potential problem areas and to keep track of system  
and Data Protector events.  
Performance data collectors to ensure continuous system throughput and notify  
any performance bottlenecks.  
Complements the Data Protector Administration GUI.  
Collection and monitoring of performance data.  
A central data repository for storing event records and action records for all Data  
Protector managed nodes.  
Utilities for running Data Protector management tasks.  
Allowing Operations Manager users to start the Data Protector GUI and use Data  
Protector functionality from the Operations Manager Server.  
Enabling users to visualize the state of health of their Data Protector Cell Managers  
and overall backup environment by examining the Backup Session, Data, and  
Trend reports available with the ReporterLite integration that is part of Operations  
Manager for Windows.  
Data Protector Integration architecture  
The Data Protector Integration is installed on the Operations Manager Server system  
and is deployed to instrument its Operations Manager Agent on the Data Protector  
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.  
Once installed, the Operations Manager user can start the Data Protector graphical  
user interface (GUI) as an Operations Manager application and connect to any  
available Data Protector Cell Manager. Both Windows and UNIX Data Protector Cell  
Managers are accessible. This is facilitated by the Data Protector Console using the  
Data Protector communication protocol on port 5555 to exchange data.

Figure 1 Operations Manager–Data Protector Integration architecture  
The Operations Manager policies monitor:  
Data Protector vital Cell Manager processes  
Data Protector log files  
Data Protector events through SNMP traps  
They are configured on the Operations Manager Agent on a Data Protector Cell  
Manager. The Agent sends messages to the Operations Manager Server for display  
in the message browser only if appropriate conditions match. This minimizes network  
traffic between a Data Protector Cell Manager and 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.

2 Installing the Data Protector  
Integration  
This chapter describes:  
Prerequisites for installing the Data Protector integration.  
Installing the Data Protector Integration on the Operations Manager Server system.  
Installing Data Protector Integration components on Operations Manager managed  
node (Data Protector Cell Manager) system.  
Uninstalling Data Protector Integration components from Operations Manager  
managed node (Data Protector Cell Manager) systems.  
Uninstalling the Data Protector Integration from the Operations Manager Server  
system.  
Supported platforms and installation prerequisites  
The Data Protector integration is used to monitor and manage the health and  
performance of Data Protector environments. You can manage one or more Data  
Protector cells with the integration. It should only be installed in an environment  
consisting of:  
One or more systems running Operations Manager Server  
The Operations Manager Server with Console (remote consoles are not supported)  
and the 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.

NOTE:  
The Data Protector Integration supports Operations Manager installed in an MS Cluster  
environment. However, the integration does not support Data Protector Cell Managers  
(managed nodes) in a cluster environment.  
Managed node systems (Data Protector Cell Server)  
A number of agents and the Data Protector Integration are required for the complete  
management of Data Protector environments. Components that must be installed on  
the managed node system hosting the Data Protector Cell Manager are:  
HP Operations Manager Agent  
HP Performance Agent  
Supported Operations Manager Agent versions  
Ensure the Data Protector Cell Manager system runs on a platform for which the  
Operations Manager Agent is available. Go to http://www.hp.com/support/manuals  
to find out which platforms are supported.  
Supported HP Performance Agent versions  
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.  
Additional software for HP-UX managed nodes (Data Protector Cell  
Server)  
The following software is required, but is not installed as part of the Operations  
Manager installation nor as part of the Data Protector Integration installation.  
SNMP Emanate Agent (required)  
The SNMP Emanate Agent is necessary to capture SNMP traps sent by the Data  
Protector Cell Manager and to let the Operations Manager Agent, which runs on  
the same system, forward any matching SNMP trap events as messages to the  
Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows  
27

Operations Manager Server. This is called Distributed Event Interception, since the  
SNMP traps are intercepted on the managed node and filtered and forwarded to  
the Operations Manager Server by the Operations Agent.  
The advantages, especially for large enterprise environments with a high number of  
Data Protector Cell Managers, are:  
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.  
Since SNMP traps are not sent from the managed node to the management server,  
the network load decreases, and the probability that traps are lost is significantly  
reduced. Security over public networks is also improved. The messages are sent  
by the Operations Manager Agent to the Operations Manager Server using either  
HTTPS or DCE.

package used to install the integration and console onto the Operations Manager  
Server. This installs all components required for the management server and the  
managed nodes on the management server system. Agent software and configuration  
data for these agents is then distributed by the Operations Manager administrator  
to the managed nodes using Operations Manager.  
Installation  
To install the software on the management server, run the dpspi-06.10.0000.msi  
executable file.

4 Using the Data Protector  
Integration  
In this chapter  
The sections in this chapter show which new components are added to Operations  
Manager during the installation of the Data Protector Integration and describe how  
to use them to best effect:  
Data Protector SPI policies  
The Data Protector Integration adds the SPI for DataProtector policy group  
to Operations Manager:  
Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows  
47  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
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.  
Message groups  
Message Groups are used to categorize messages in the Operations Manager  
message browser. This allows you to filter only messages of a certain category  
contained within a particular Message Group. The combination of Message Group  
and Node Group define the responsibility of an Operations Manager operator.  
The Data Protector Integration installs six message groups designed to handle  
messages generated by the policies and monitors started by the Data Protector  
integration.  
Where appropriate, the integration assigns relevant messages to existing Operations  
Manager message groups. Other messages are assigned to the following six Data  
Protector Integration-specific message groups:  
48

Set to the hostname of the Data Protector system on which the event  
occurred.  
Severity  
Reflection of the impact that the event has on Data Protector. For SNMP  
trap derived messages, the severity value of the SNMP trap is used as  
the severity level of the message.  
Service Name  
Object  
Depends on the impact the event has on a service. The value must map  
with a node in Data Protector’s service tree.  
Allows the source of the event to be classified with fine granularity.  
Data Protector SNMP traps set the parameter to NOTIFICATION.  
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.

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. A system may belong to more than one node group.  
The Data Protector Integration provides the four Node Groups, DP ALL CELLS, DP  
ALL MGRS, DP NT MGRS and DP UX MGRS:  
The Add Data Protector Cell action adds a node below the DP ALL MGRS  
node group. This node group is automatically created during installation.  
Node groups determine which nodes a user receives messages from. Together with  
message groups, they define:  
The user responsibilities  
The messages the user sees in the message browser  
Node groups allow a flexible assignment to Operations Manager operators and  
convenient assignment of Operations Manager Policies to groups of nodes. The  
predefined user roles of the Data Protector Integration use message groups and node  
groups.  
The Data Protector Integration also provides the DP ALL CELLS node group by  
default. When you add a new Data Protector Cell Manager with the Add DP Cell  
application, a Node Layout Group is included into the DP ALL CELLS node  
group.  
Two further node groups are created during installation of the Data Protector  
Integration:  
DP NT MGRS  
DP UX MGRS  
These can be used by any Operations Manager administrator to help assign and  
distribute policies and monitors to all nodes of a selected operating system. If the cell  
50

administrator uses the Add Data Protector Cell application to create a new  
node, the node is automatically placed in the node group corresponding to its  
operating system.  
Tools groups  
Installation of the Data Protector Integration adds two new tools groups to the  
Operations Manager Tools folder. Each different Operations Manager user role has  
an appropriate set of Data Protector Integration applications.  
DP_Reports, containing tools for monitoring the health and performance of the  
Data Protector environment:  
DPSPI, containing applications used to manage the Data Protector environment:  
Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows

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.  
When you select a tool to be run and the target type for the tool is Selected Node,  
a window opens prompting you for nodes on which to execute the application  
associated with the tool in the Details tab. If the Allow Operator to change  
the login is selected, you are also prompted for a user name and password.  
Examples  
DP GUI: Invokes the Data Protector GUI by starting the Data Protector Console on  
the Operations Manager Server. The Data Protector Console connects through port  
5555 to the selected Data Protector Cell Manager.  
DP Cell Status report: Starts omnicellinfo remotely on the Operations Manager  
Managed Node/Data Protector Cell Manager.  
DP Status: Starts omnisv -status remotely on the selected Data Protector Cell  
Manager.

Data Protector service tree  
Data Protector is represented as a service tree with each cell an icon. The tree is  
updated by SNMP traps sent by the notification feature in Data Protector and by  
messages from Data Protector Integration monitors. Figure 4 illustrates the HP_Data  
Protector service tree consisting of a sub-tree for the Cell Manager:nt8446  
Data Protector Cell Manager.  
Figure 4 The Data Protector service tree  
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:

Users and user roles  
This section describes the types of user in Operations Manager, Data Protector and  
the Data Protector Integration. It also describes the users and roles installed by the  
Data Protector Integration and suggests the most appropriate uses for them.  
Data Protector and operating system users  
The operating system user is used by Data Protector and Operations Manager to  
provide access to users. In addition, Data Protector uses Data Protector user groups  
to define access rights for members of this group:  
Operating System User, required to log in to the operating system. A user requires  
a valid user login to start Data Protector or Operations Manager.  
Examples:  
Windows user in the EUROPE domain: EUROPE\janesmith  
UNIX user whose primary UNIX group is marketing:  
uid=4110(janesmith) gid=60(marketing)  
Data Protector User Group  
Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows  
55  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
A Data Protector user group defines access rights for its members. A member of  
a user group is identified by the group’s operating system user. This user, used  
to log in to the system, has access rights and Data Protector GUI context  
determined by the user group.  
When a user from the group starts the Data Protector GUI from Tools, the layout  
of the Data Protector GUI and permissions for the user are determined by the  
operating system user.  
Figure 5 Windows users  
Data Protector Integration users  
The operating system user is required by the Data Protector Integration. The integration  
adds seven new user roles to the OM User Roles configuration. For details, see  
Data Protector OVO user roles” on page 57. The role determines the layout of the  
Operations Manager GUI:  
Applications available under Tools.  
Data Protector Cell Managers available under Nodes.  
Messages groups, in combination with node groups, are used for displaying Data  
Protector messages in the message browser.  
NOTE:  
When the Operations Manager user starts the Data Protector GUI from Tools, the  
layout of the Data Protector GUI and the permissions this user has in Data Protector are  
determined by the operating system user.

Operations Manager user roles  
Operations Manager uses User Roles to describe the configuration of abstract users.  
They are useful in large, dynamic environments with many Operations Manager  
users and allow the rapid setting up of Operations Manager users with default  
configuration. An Operations Manager user may have multiple user profiles assigned  
and so can hold multiple roles.  
The Data Protector Integration provides default user roles suitable for use with different  
Operations Manager-Data Protector operator roles.  
Data Protector Operations Manager user roles  
The Operations Manager administrator uses user roles to assign responsibilities to  
Operations Manager users. During installation, the Data Protector Integration adds  
seven new user roles:  
Each of these roles defines a custom subset of tools and a unique combination of the  
DP ALL MGRS node group with DP_* message groups. This defines the  
responsibilities of a user and the tools available to him. The roles can be used to  
implement the Operations Manager user roles described in

maintain, manage, monitor, and control multiple Data Protector cells from a single  
console. Table 4 defines roles for Data Protector Operations Manager operators and  
describes their access rights.  
NOTE:  
Operations Manager users and Data Protector users are different and must be set up  
separately in Operations Manager and Data Protector.  
Operations Manager users are not created by the Data Protector integration. The roles  
described in Table 4 are examples of possible roles you may create and use to manage  
Data Protector.

5 ReporterLite integration  
In this chapter  
This chapter covers integration with ReporterLite and creating Data Protector reports:  
ReporterLite overview  
NOTE:  
The ReporterLite integration is available only with Operations Manager for Windows  
7.5, not with OMW 8.0. However, HP Reporter 3.8 is integrated with OMW 8.0. See  
the HP Data Protector integration guide for HP Reporter for details.  
ReporterLite is a simplified version of HP Reporter. It can generate Crystal format  
reports and is available as a part of Operations Manager for Windows. The graphical  
user interface that is part of HP Reporter is not included in ReporterLite.  
ReporterLite Integration with Data Protector contains utilities to obtain high-level  
Backup Session reports from Data Protector. The reports provided with this package  
give graphical representations of the backup session details of all the registered Data  
Protector management systems.  
Key Features  
Direct communication with Data Protector to obtain data.  
Integration guide for HP Operations Manager for Windows  
75  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
Ability to view session trend reports and gain insight on the overall health of Data  
Protector cell servers over a selected time.  
Ability to view trend reports on the data backup, backup duration and number  
of files backed up.  
Reporting Error Status and Session Health details over a selected time.  
Easy for administrators to predict the volume of data to be backed up in the future,  
as the trend reports shows the amount of data growth.  
Using the trends for the number of files backed up and amount of data backed  
up, administrators can calculate the optimum media block size.  
Standard reports  
The ReporterLite integration with Data Protector provides the following reports:  
ReporterLite integration with Data Protector  
architecture  
This integration is completely installed on Operations Manager for Windows. The  
module can communicate with the Data Protector Management System directly to
