Chapter 12: Protecting Virtualized Envir... > Protecting Your Hyper-V Environment
Protecting Your Hyper-V Environment
Deploying DPM 2010 to protect a virtualized environment involves three primary phases:
1. Setting up your first DPM server, including software installation as well adding disk and/or tape media
2. Deploying DPM agents to the production servers, meaning the Hyper-V hosts and/or inside the virtual machines
3. Configuring one or more protection groups, which define what is to be protected and how
Setting Up Your First DPM Server
The DPM 2010 server should be installed on a dedicated system running x64 Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. As an alternative, you can acquire a data protection appliance, which is usually a Windows Storage Server (OEM version of Windows Server) that is preinstalled on server hardware and includes a preinstallation of DPM.
