Welcome to Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager how-to series.
In this video, we will introduce how to install PowerProtect Data Manager 19.5
and Data Domain Virtual Environment 5.0 with CloudFormation template in AWS.
Reference Dell Knowledge article number 544711.
Before we deploy PowerProtect Data Manager
please prepare key pair, VPC, subnet, route tables, security groups
network access control list, IAM role, and S3 bucket for Data Domain.
Before we install PowerProtect Data Manager
security groups can be created by CloudFormation automatically
if you don't specify.
Create IAM role for data domain EC2 instance
to access S3 bucket.
Go to AWS Management Console, search IAM services.
On the left panel, click "Roles."
Click "Create role."
Click EC2 Service.
In this page, type "S3" in the filter field.
It will show all policies relating to S3.
Select S3 full access.
Click "Next."
Type the role name.
Click "Create role."
We can see the new demo role has been created.
Create key pair for PowerProtect Data Manager
and data domain command line interface log in.
Go to AWS Management Console.
Click "EC2."
On the left panel, click "Key Pairs."
Click "Create key pair."
Put the name of the key pairs.
Select "PPK" if you use putty to log in EC2 instances.
Click "Create key pair."
It will ask you to download the PPK file saved to local.
Now the key pair has been created.
Create an empty S3 bucket for Data Domain file system.
Go to AWS Management Console.
Click "S3 service."
Or we can type "S3" in the search field.
In this page, click "Create bucket."
Type the bucket name.
Click "Next."
Click "Create bucket."
Now, a new S3 bucket has been created.
We will introduce how to subscribe PowerProtect Data Manager
in AWS Marketplace.
Open the AWS Marketplace link.
Search for "PowerProtect Data Manager."
Select "Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager"
and then click "Continue to Subscribe."
Click "Continue to Configuration."
Select the following configuration, and then click "Continue to Launch."
Now, we will introduce how to configure PowerProtect Data Manager
with CloudFormation.
Notice: DNS resolution and DNS hostnames must be enabled
before running CloudFormation.
If you want to use self DNS, please refer Dell KB article 546390.
Click "Create stack."
Select "Template is ready."
Paste the template URL.
Click "Next."
Enter the stack name.
In "Stack details", type stack name.
Put the parameters into the template.
Enable the public IP.
We can access PowerProtect Data Manager and Data Domain from local machine.
IP inbound communication by default is open to all.
We can customize it.
It also can be changed after deployment.
Select "Launch DDVE instance," otherwise CloudFormation will not deploy DDVE.
Put the IAM role which we just newly created
into the IAM role for S3 access.
Click "Next."
Review the summary.
Click "Create stack."
It will take several minutes to complete.
Now, we can see the stack created successfully.
Back to EC2 service.
Click "Running instances."
Now we can see the PowerProtect Data Manager instance
and Data Domain instance are running successfully.
It will take around 15 minutes after deployment
before PowerProtect Data Manager web interface is accessible
for configuration.
Thank you for watching.
