Configuring the Integration
Before you start configuration, make sure you met the prerequisites described in
“Prerequisites” on page 351. Then set the login information for SMIS-S EVA provider
running on a management system.
To set, delete, list, or check the login information, use the omnidbsmis —ompasswd
CLI command. For command syntax and examples, see the HP Data Protector
command line interface reference.
The information you provide is kept in the ZDB database for EVA integration (SMISDB).
For each management systems you configure, the following information is stored:
• Hostname as recognized in the IP network.
• Port number through which SMI-S Agent communicates (default - 5988). If SMI-S
provider accepts the SSL-based connection, the default port number is 5989.
• User name and encoded password for SMI-S EVA provider login.
SMISDB resides on the Cell Manager in: Data_Protector_home\db40\smisdb.
Considerations
If a failover from the active to the standby management system happens, proceed
as follows:
• If standby and failed management systems have the same hostname, no action
is needed.
• If standby and failed management systems have different hostnames, remove the
failed system from the Data Protector configuration, and then add the new
management system.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended to use the default port number (5988 for non-SSL and 5989 for
SSL-based SMI-S provider connection settings).
It is also recommended to run
omnidbsmis -ompasswd -check [-host HostName] before backup or instant
recovery to verify the configuration of SMI-S EVA Provider.
