Data Protection for VMwareBackground and Goals of Self-Service File Restore

All previous versions of Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments allowed files to be restored from virtual machine backups.

–Required Spectrum Protect server credentials–Used the native Spectrum Protect GUIs or command lines–Process typically required a help desk ticket and intervention of a

Spectrum Protect Administrator / Specialist

Version 7.1.3 introduces Self Service File Restore with Data Protection for VMware.

–Supports Windows and Linux• Uses existing proxy architecture

–Relies only on guest operating system security• If you have permissions to the files in the protected system, you

can restore• No Spectrum Protect permissions required

–Browser based restore–No Plugins required

© 2015 IBM Corporation

Installation and Configuration of Self Service File Restore

Uses same underlying infrastructure as earlier versions of Data Protection for Virtual Environments

– Configured with Data Protection for VMware Configuration Wizard

– New panel for administrator contact information and domain credentials for Windows Restores

Parameter file frConfig.props– Maximum Mount Points– Mount Session Timeout– Time to keep UI Messages

Access UI by pointing browser to:– https://<VE GUI>:9081\FileRestoreUI

Spectrum Protect Decommissioning Lifecycle Enhancements

Prior to version 7.1.3, Spectrum Protect Administrators managed the node decommission process manually

–Client would stop accessing the server–Multiple steps over an extended period required to cause the data to expire and the node

constructs to be removed from the Spectrum Protect Server

Decommission operations are consolidated with 7.1.3 server commands and the Operations Center1.The node is locked and cannot be unlocked2.The node is removed from schedule and will no longer be backed up3.All active data copies are marked inactive4.All data expires and is deleted according to policy retention criteria5.The file space is deleted6.The node is deleted.

Spectrum Protect Decommissioning Lifecycle EnhancementsSpectrum Protect for Virtual EnvironmentsSpectrum Protect for Databases

The Decommission process can vary depending on the type of node and how the data is stored on the Spectrum Protect server

System client nodes (eg: workstations)– DECOMMISSION NODE

Virtual machines (e.g. Data Protection for VMware and Data Protection for Hyper-V)– DECOMMISSION VM

• VM not removed from schedule

Application client nodes (eg: an email server or database)– DECOMMISSION NODE

Additional administrative control added for API Applications (specifically Oracle)

DEACTIVATE DATA specifies that active data that was backed up for an application client node before a specified date is no longer needed

Active files that were created on the specified node on the TODATE or earlier are marked inactive

Command moves retention control from RMAN and tdposync to the Spectrum Protect server

Spectrum Protect Snapshot for Unix/Linux 4.1.3 – Oracle Cloning Update

Snapshot for Unix 4.1 is already capable of creating, refreshing and deleting clones of a production Oracle and DB2 databases

– Database must be setup on supported file systems using a Logical Volume Manager (LVM)

With release 10g Oracle introduced a feature called Automatic Storage Management (ASM). Oracle ASM is a volume manager and a file system for Oracle database files

Snapshot supports data protection for Oracle ASM databases since release 2.1 excluding the cloning feature. Enabling the existing Spectrum Protect Snapshot for Unix cloning functionality for Oracle ASM databases was done at version 4.1.1

Spectrum Protect Snapshot was improved in version 4.1.3 to support Oracle RAC cloning

Spectrum Protect Snapshot for Unix/Linux 4.1.3 – Oracle RAC Cloning Update

Oracle RAC production database with name FLO and two instances FLO1 and FLO2

Three diskgroups:

+FLODATADG: Data files of the db +FLOLOGDG: Log files of the db +FLOCTLDG: Control files of the db

All diskgroups reside on two LUNs depicted in gray color

Clone process:1. Create hardware snapshots of both gray LUNs to create a snapshot of all three diskgroups (pink LUNs)2. Mount and recover the cloned database3. Rename cloned diskgroups by appending the clone database name CLO4. Open cloned database CLO with SID CLO1

Spectrum Protect Snapshot for VMware 4.1.3 (Formerly FlashCopy Manager)

Spectrum Protect Snapshot for VMware 4.1.2 and earlier requires snapshot target volumes be predefined on SVC based storage systems

– Presented to Spectrum Snapshot using .fct file or target volume naming

Spectrum Protect Snapshot 4.1.3 provides the option to dynamically allocate the SVC snapshot target volumes of the FlashCopy

– Greatly improves ease of use

Note: The new adapter – for now – does not replace the old SVC adapter completely because it lacks some of its features:

• Remote mirroring support• FULL and INCR copy mode (new adapter uses

Space Efficient volumes in principle)

SVC based Storage Systems• The IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller• The IBM Storwize V7000, V5000 and V3700• The IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node • The IBM Storwize V7000 Unified• The IBM FlashSystems V840 and V9000

SVC DTA - Dynamic Target Allocation

• Hides complexity of FlashCopy target volumes• Eliminates additional .fct file for target volumes• read/write mount of read-only snapshot backups• Non-destructively restores

Static target allocation:

Target Volume File parameter in the profile...>>> DEVICE_CLASS STANDARD...TARGET_SETS VOLUMES_FILEVOLUMES_FILE <ACS_DIR>/volumes_file.fct...<<<

Unified Interface

The following picture illustrates the architectural overview with the extension for the new SVC adapter using the Spectrum Protect Snapshot Storage device API. The green ellipse shows the new component SVC-DTA – Dynamic Target Allocation adapter.

© 2015 IBM Corporation

Configuration – Spectrum Protect Snapshot for VMware requires a profile as usual– When configuring the new SVCDTA adapter:

• Create / import SSH private key file (instead of using a password)– Use the setup.sh setup script or the Web GUI configuration wizard to create a profile file. – Decide to use the new SVCDTA or the old SVC predefined target sets during the configuration:

• From the Web GUI configuration wizard, you can select one of the following device types:

Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller: dynamic target allocation

Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller: static target allocation• When using the setup script and prompted with a choice of storage device types, specify the new device type

SVCDTA or SVC for the old approach.

Spectrum Protect for ERP Data Protection for SAP HANA on POWER

Support for Linux on Power Platform–Integrated into SAP HANA–Backup/restore operations are triggered through SAP HANA (GUI or cmd line)

–SLES 11 SP3–Requires TSM API 7.1.3 (like all other Spectrum Protect for ERP 7.1.3 components)

IBM Spectrum Protect Licensing Models

IBM Spectrum Protect is offered with many different licensing models–hardware related pricing–capacity based pricing

The Processor Unit Value (PVU) licensing model counts the number of processor units and calculates the price for the product based on this number. Each component of Spectrum Protect is handled separately.

The Suite for Unified Recovery (SUR) is based on a per terabyte pricing model and is divided in two sub categories:

–Back End Capacity: Counts the number of terabytes stored in the server storage pool and in storage arrays (IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot)

–Front End Capacity: Count the number of terabytes protected in the production environment

Spectrum Protect Snapshot (Formally know as FlashCopy Manager) Standalone–Logical Unit Capacity (Spectrum Protect Snapshot): Counts the overall number of terabytes of the

logical unit that contains the customer production data as presented to the host.
