HPE Recovery Manager Central 4.0

for VMware® (RMC-V) Lab Guide
Overview
HPE Recovery Manager Central 4.0 for VMware®
RMC-V 4.0 for VMware is a software management plug-in designed to work with
VMware vCenter Server.
HPE Recovery Manager Central Software (RMC) combines the simplicity of
snapshots with the reliability and cost effective retention of Express Protect.
Native integration of HPE 3PAR StoreServ and HPE StoreOnce in a seamless,
converged data protection solution removes the dependency on traditional
backup software. HPE RMC-V enables you to protect VMware virtual machine
disks and data stores using consistent snapshots for rapid online recovery. The
Express Protect feature offers data protection by facilitating Express Protect of
snapshots from HPE 3PAR StoreServ to HPE StoreOnce. Express Protect on HPE
StoreOnce are self-contained deduplicated volumes, to save space, and can be
used to recover back to the original or a different HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage
array based on the options chosen. Administrators can access all the
functionality from within the VMware vCenter Web Client GUI.
Although RMC-V can be installed independent of OV4VC we include
OV4VC to demonstrate seamless management of the storage systems
from within a vCenter environment.

Lab Environment
Logical View
In the drawing above you see the hardware and VMs as they will exist at the end of the lab.
The ESX host on the right is the “Protected ESX host (it has data on it that we will backup)
The ESX host on the left is the “Management ESX host” (it has all of the VMs on it that we
will use to keep our data safe)
We use iSCSI for ERT to communicate with the “Protected ESX host”
We use FC to move data from the 3PAR to the RMC appliance
We use CoEth (Ethernet) to move the data from the RMC appliance to the StoreOnce VSA
2
Understanding the Players
It is important that you understand the hosts used in this lab as well as their role.
The “x” in the following denotes your group number.
GxRxWIN – This is a windows host. It is the host that you are currently logged onto. We use
it as the windows target for the lab. It has access to Fibre Channel. We may manipulate data
on this server using RMC. We will call this the:
“Protected Windows Host”
GxRxRMCVC – This is the vCenter server that resides on the “Protected Windows Host”. We
will call this the:
“vCenter”
GxRxESX – This is an ESXi host. We use it as the ESX target for the lab. It has access to Fibre
Channel. We will manipulate data on this server using RMC. We will call this the:
“Protected ESX Host”
GxRxRMCESX – This is a V6.0-U1 ESXi host that is specifically dedicated to the RMC Hands on
lab. It is used to house the VMs necessary for the operation of the RMC lab. We will call this
host the:
“Management ESX Host”
GxRxRMCVSA - This is a virtual machine inside of the Management ESX host. It is the
StoreOnce VSA server. This server is the backup device. We will call this the:
“StoreOnce VSA”
GxRxRMCH - This will be a virtual machine inside of the Management ESX host. It is the
RMC host that we will install. The role of this server is to move data between the HPE
storage and the StoreOnce VSA. We will call this the:
“RMC Host”
GxRxPAR – This is your 3PAR array dedicated to this lab. Each student group has one. We
will call this the:
“3PAR”
GxRxRMCOV – This is a virtual machine inside of the Management ESX host. It is the
OneView for vCenter Appliance (OV4VC). It is used to provide general HPE features in
vCenter. We will use it to create Datastores on the 3PAR. We will call this the:
“OneView Appliance”

Objectives
 Create a new Express Protect policy
 Update the Recovery Manager Cache
 Create a StoreOnce store via RMC-V
Requirements
 A HPE 3PAR StoreServ with HPE 3PAR OS 3.2.1 MU1 or later
68
Start Lab 4:
1. Select “WinVM01” and under the Summary tab, select “Launch Remote Console”
2. Click “Allow”, if this pop-up appears.
69
3. Click “Connect Anyway” if this pop-up appears.

6. Open the START button and select “Computer”

NOTE: if you get any pop-ups about windows activation, passwords, etc just ignore /
cancel and close the windows.
This is your new Virtual Machine sitting on our new VV that resides on our 3PAR. Let’s add a
little data on the VM. We will create a simple text file.
71
7. Open the C:\ drive and create a text file called “Userdata”. Enter some basic text, of
your choice, in the file and save. We will back this file up and then delete it.
Afterwards, we will perform a restore from the backup and check to see if the file
was restored.
Note: We want the RMC to note any changes we made so we will force an update in the
next step.
8. Go back to the vSphere Web Client window and right click WinVM01. Select “All
HPE Recovery Manager Central Actions”  “Update Recovery Manager Cache”
72
9. Click “Yes”. Note: This process may take several seconds to complete. Look in the
“Recent Task” tab at the bottom of the screen for status information. Make sure you
do a refresh to check the status.
OK, RMC knows we have a VM on the 3PAR. We would like the data to be backed up on
our StoreOnce VSA. To do this we need to create some rules for RMC. We will create an
“Express Protect” policy that contains information on what and how to back up the data.
73
10. Right click “WinVM01” and select “All HPE Recovery Manager Central Actions” 
“Create Recovery Set”  “Express Protect”
74
11. Under the Snapshot heading enter “RMCV-Snapshot” as the Name.

Under the Express Protect heading and under Policy, click on the “Create Express
Protect Policy” button.
This launches another dialogue box.
75
12. When the pop-up window opens enter the Express Protect Policy Name of: “RMCV-
BK01” and then click on the “Create/Modify Store” button.
In this step we will create a “store” on the StoreOnce backup VM
13. Select the “Create Store” radio button end then enter the following fields:
Backup System: FQDN of the StoreOnce VSA (GxRxRMCVSA)
Store Name: “RMCV_Protect”
Store Description: “RMCV_Protect”
User name: “Admin”
Click “Create”
76
14. Click “Yes”
15. Click “OK”

NOTE: The warning occurs because it needs a password which you will enter in the
next step.
77
16. Select “RMCV_Protect” for the Store, and enter the following for the Password:
“!hpstorage2013”
Proceed to the next step.
17. Check “Multi-Streaming”, select “4” for Number of Streams, and select the
“Catalyst over Ethernet(Coeth)” radio button. Click “Create”
78
18. Click “Yes” and then “OK” in the confirmation box.
19. Enter and check Express Protect information (red box in the screen capture):
Name: RMCV-EP01
Description: RMCV-EP01
And check the other green boxes are correct:
Check that the “Express Protect Policy” option is correct (RMCV-BK01)
Check that the “Backup System” option information is correct (FQDN of StoreOne VSA)
Check that the “Store” name is correct (RMCV_Protect)
Check that the “Muli-Streaming” option is selected (check box ticked/streams = 4)
Finally click “Create”
79
So… We just told the RMC that we would like to have it create an “Express Protect” named
“RMCV-EP01”. We also created a backup policy called RMCV-BK01 and we would like the
snapshots created by this policy to be named “RMCV-Snapshot”. Additionally, we want any
backup data to reside in a “store” called “RMCV_Protect” on the StoreOnce VSA.
How does the policy know what to back up? If you go all the way back to step 10 you will see
that we kicked off this whole process by having you select “WinVM01”. So, we are backing
up this VM on our 3PAR array.
20. Click “Yes”
21. Select “Tasks” under the Home icon
80
22. Scroll up and down to view all backup jobs. They will take several minutes to
complete. While the jobs are running we can monitor the performance of the jobs.
Move onto the next step to do this.
23. Using the IE browser, start a new window and open the StoreOnce VSA
(GxRxRMCVSA IP) with the appropriate IP address and then select “Continue to this
website (not recommended)”
81
24. Login with the following credentials:

Username: “Admin”
Password: “!hpstorage2013”
25. Open “StoreOnce” then “StoreOnce Catalyst” and then select “Stores”. This is the
“Store” that you created in the previous steps.
82
26. Now click “Activity” and you can monitor the movement of data from the 3PAR
array to the StoreOnce VSA. The path is FC from the 3PAR to the RMCH and iSCSI
from the RMCH to the StoreOnce VSA.
Wait until the “Throughput (MBps)” reaches 0, signifying the completion of the
backup.
Note: The backup process may take 10 minutes to complete.
27. Go back to the “vSphere Web Client” tab and check that the task status is complete.
NOTE: If the backup has not completed, then wait until it is has completed before
going to the next step.

Lab 5 Use RMC-V ERT to restore user data within

a VM
Objectives
 Use the Element Recovery Technology (ERT) in vCenter
 Use the Element Recovery Technology (ERT) to restore a VM
 Use the Element Recovery Technology (ERT) to restore User data
Requirements
To complete this lab you will need:
 A HPE 3PAR StoreServ with HPE 3PAR OS 3.2.1 MU1 or later
 A VMware vCenter Server
84
About Element Recovery Technology
Element Recovery Technology (ERT) provides you the ability to access Recovery Set objects
as read-only entities from HPE StoreOnce protected Express Protect objects, without
repopulating the primary disk array volumes.
Transport protocols
For ERT, the transport protocol rules are:
• between the ESXi host and RMC Appliance the transport must be over iSCSI
• between the RMC Appliance and HPE StoreOnce it can either be FC or IP depending on the
CoFC Id (Catalyst over Fiber Channel) or Coeth IP (Catalyst over Ethernet).
You can mount Express Protect objects only on ESXi hosts.
ERT tasks can be performed only for Express Protect of the Recovery Sets created after
installing or upgrading to RMC-V v2.0.0. For Express Protect objects that were created in
previous versions, you can only perform mount / unmount, and additional vCenter
operations on the mounted Express Protect objects. However copy, attach, and detach tasks
cannot be performed.
