Data Protector 10 – Initial Release A.10.00 (Build 306)

Posted on by 2 Comments

After three years of waiting HPE released Data Protector 10 as a successor version 9. While it shares most of its features if offers a renovated security framework, revised support matrix and parts of the new Web-based UI which features the Consolidated Scheduler and Dashboard. While the existing GUI is still in the product, the new Web-based UI will evolve quickly into the future with the goal to replace it.

If you’re planning to upgrade, please keep in mind to upgrade your existing license keys to the new version first. This requires an active support contract (SAID). As usual the new software offers a 60 day grace period for new and existing customers.

Important Changes:

  • Web-based Scheduler:
    • The new Consolidated Scheduler saves all data in the IDB, so it is not longer possible to change a schedule by editing text-files
    • All existing schedules from the Legacy Scheduler and Advanced Scheduler are migrated to the Consolidated Scheduler during the upgrade process
  • New default Data Protector INET port 5565/TCP
    • Newly installed Data Protector 10 clients and Cell Managers will use the communication port 5556/TCP by default (was 5555/TCP previously)
    • This does not apply to upgrades and can be changed to match your environment
    • Nearly the whole communication between Data Protector clients is now using the INET port. Previously the INET port plus a range of dynamic ports have been used (or OB2PORTRANGE)

Major Enhancements:

  • Security Enhancements
    • Secure communications (TLS 1.2, enabled by default)
    • Centralized Command Execution
  • Completely revised support matrix
    • General clean-up
    • Dropped support of legacy items
  • ‘Phase 1’ of a new web-based User Interface featuring
    • New Dashboard
    • New Telemetry configuration
    • New ‘consolidated Scheduler’
  • New OVKEY4 license keys required from license portal
  • Telemetry client supported on Linux and HP-UX clients
  • IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) registered port 5556
  • REST API (‘Help’ => ‘API Document’ for details)
