Planning for a single-site disk data protection solution
Plan for a data protection implementation that includes a server at a single site that uses data deduplication.
Implementation options
You can configure the server for a single-site disk solution in the following ways:- Configure the server by using the Operations Center and administrative commands
- This documentation provides steps to configure a range of storage systems and the server software for your solution. Configuration tasks are completed by using wizards and options in the Operations Center and IBM Spectrum Protect commands. For information about getting started, see the Planning roadmap.
- Configure the server by using automated scripts
- For detailed guidance on implementing a single-site disk solution with specific IBM®
Storwize® storage systems, and by using automated scripts
to configure the server, see the IBM
Spectrum Protect
blueprints. The documentation and scripts are available on IBM
developerWorks® at: IBM Spectrum
Protect Blueprints.
The blueprint documentation does not include steps for installing and configuring the Operations Center, or setting up secure communications by using Transport Security Layer (TLS). An option for using Elastic Storage Server, based on IBM Spectrum Scale technology, is included.
