1, 2, 3 Caveats
1. SLAs are estimated based on physical resources such as disk IOPS and network IOPS allocated for backup. In actual implmentations, several factors influence the actual IOPS available for backup and hence the estimates at any instant may not exactly match measured values. At best, these estimates will be close apporximation of the measured values.
2. The variability between the measured SLA and these estimates may be larger when the VMs are not of uniform size.
3. In estimating recovery SLA, it is assumed that the DPM server is fully utilized for recovery of the VMs of a Host node and that there are no other backups or recovery processes running.

Use this table to enter the storage and network parameters on the Hyper-V Nodes that will be allocated for backup and restore. Disk I/O Throughput per CSV, Dedicated to BackupThe backup rate helps to provide an estimation of how long it will take to complete backup on an DPM server. The backup rate is based on the assumption that the backup process can sustain the rate against each PG concurrently. The backup window is a critical section of planning to ensure that the backup window is run within a timeframe to minimize the impact on other workloads.The actual back rate that can be achieved will depend on three things:1. Read rate from source LUN – if designed properly, this should not be a huge problem unless you run backup during peak times or you’re running multiple threads from the same set of disks.
2. Effective write rate at the medium- This is the speed with which DPM can write to the storage pool disks. When doing initialization, the writes are typically sequential in nature. However for express fulls, the writes are typically random in nature.
3. The network rate - It is recommended that you use a Gbps network connectivity between the protected server and the DPM server. DPM can also be configured to use a dedicated NIC to perform the backups thereby getting a higher throughput without loading your corporate networkDisk I/O Throughput per CSV, Dedicated to RestoreThis is the effective rate at which you can restore data.Restores typically require sequential reads off the DPM disks. Hence the throughput is greater than what you get for express fulls.
Note:DPM supports SAN based hardware snapshot mode of recoveries. You can use this feature if you need is to perform very fast recoveries (which cannot be met with the network based recovery model of DPM). You will need the proper software from the storage vendors for this, and there may be addtional costs involved.
Use this table to enter the storage and network parameters on theDPM Server that will be allocated for backup and restore
Back
Use this table to specify how often you want to backup the data and how long you want to keep the backed up data. In this table, you should also indicate the snapshot technology at the Hyper-V Node. The options are Hardware Snapshot or Software Snapshot. Read more about this at the following link:http://blogs.technet.com/b/asim_mitra/archive/2009/12/11/snapshot-provider-considerations-while-backing-up-a-csv-cluster.aspx
Hardware Snapshot enabled?: This parameter is used if you are using Hardware VSS provider for creating a snapshot. Please refer to the following links for more information on protecting a CSV.1. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634189.aspx2. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634220.aspx3. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634216.aspx4. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634192.aspx
Best practices guidline is to set Max Number of Parallel backups / CSV to 3 when backing up less than 12 Hosts, beyond that it is recommended to set it to 2.
Max Number of parallel backups / Node: If Hardware Snapshot is enabled? is Yes this is equal to Max Number of Parallel backups / CSV; else it is equal to 1.
Backup duty cycle is the number of hours for which you want backup to run; this is the backup SLA. If the estimated backup exceeds this number then it will be flagged in RED in the DPM Requirements pane.

About this table: Use this table to specify the DPM server configuration parameters. In general, you will not need to modify the default values, but there may be situations in which you may need to do so. As a rule of thumb, if the VM size is less than 15 GB, then you may want to change the collocation to 12; if the VM size is 150GB, then do not use collocation and if the VM size is about 50GB, then use the default value for collocation of 8.
Refer to following links in the DPM documentation about Data co-location before you edit these values:
1. Co-Locating Data on Disk: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399498.aspx
Co-located Replica Size: This is the default size allocated by DPM each for the replica volume and recovery point volume . This number is stored in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data ProtectionCo-location factor: This is the number of VMs co-located in a replica or a recovery point. This value is stored in the registry at: Manager\Collocation\HyperV\DSCollocationFactor
These parameters help in keeping the number of volumes allocated within the Servers' LDM limits. Read more about this in the following blog:

Use the parameters in this table to specify how you want to model the storage. If all the VMs are of uniform size or if you have a small number of VMs whose average is approximately the same then select "No" in the "Import VM Size Data?" row. If there is a large variation in the size of the VMs, then select "Yes" in the "Import VM Size Data?" row.
If you select "No" then go on to answer the rest of the questions in this table. If you select "Yes", then go on to fill the values in the "Import VM Size Data" table.

Help for: DPM Configuration: Recommended Protected Group ConfigurationAbout This Table:
The maximum number of DPM servers per Hyper-V cluster should always be 1, because VMs cannot be migrated between DPM servers.If more than one DPM server is indicated, then you have the following options: - Increase the input colocation factor (in the Input tab) - Consider splitting the CSVs to be protected into several smaller clusters - Reduce the number of input VMs that are protected - Reduce the Retention Range
Note on co-location: A best guess at the storage savings in the Recovery Point volume is shown in this table . Due to the random nature of the optimization with the co-location algorithm it is difficult to accurately predict the exact savings.
If Backup Window cell below is RED, it means that you are not meeting your backup SLA specified in the Synchronization Frequency column of this table. To fix this, you can try to Increase the following, in the Input tab:- "Aggregate Disk I/O Throughput on the DPM Server Dedicated to Backup" - "DPM Server Network Bandwidth"

About This Table:This table shows the backup storage requirement and various backup SLAs on a per Hyper-V server basis. The values in this table show you how much storage is required to backup the VMs associated with a Hyper-v node and do not account for storage savings as a result of enabling co-location on the DPM server.

Use this table to specify how often you want to backup the data and how long you want to keep the backed up data. In this table, you should also indicate the snapshot technology at the Hyper-V Node. The options are Hardware Snapshot or Software Snapshot. Read more about this at the following link:http://blogs.technet.com/b/asim_mitra/archive/2009/12/11/snapshot-provider-considerations-while-backing-up-a-csv-cluster.aspx
Hardware Snapshot enabled?: This parameter is used if you are using Hardware VSS provider for creating a snapshot. Please refer to the following links for more information on protecting a CSV.1. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634189.aspx2. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634220.aspx3. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634216.aspx4. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634192.aspx
Best practices guidline is to set Max Number of Parallel backups / CSV to 3 when backing up less than 12 Hosts, beyond that it is recommended to set it to 2.
Max Number of parallel backups / Node: If Hardware Snapshot is enabled? is Yes this is equal to Max Number of Parallel backups / CSV; else it is equal to 1.
Backup duty cycle is the number of hours for which you want backup to run; this is the backup SLA. If the estimated backup exceeds this number then it will be flagged in RED in the DPM Requirements pane.
