DPM secondary servers
You can configure a second DPM server at the same site, or at another site, to protect the
primary DPM server. The primary DPM server is the server that directly protects data sources.
You configure the secondary DPM server to protect the backup replicas and databases on
the primary DPM server. This allows you to use the secondary DPM server for recovery in the
event that the primary fails. It's also possible to switch protected workloads from the primary
server so that they are protected by the secondary (which becomes the new primary) if nec-
essary.
To configure secondary protection, perform the following steps:
1.
Deploy the DPM protection agent from the secondary server on the primary DPM
server.
