Getting Started With CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager › Configure SRM Schedules

Configure SRM Schedules

CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager lets Backup Administrators configure a schedule for CA ARCserve D2D nodes that defines when and how often to collect SRM data. SRM (Storage Resource Management) is functionality that collects information about the following:

• Hardware, software, and application data for Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange Server implementations.
• Performance Key Indicators (PKI) data from CA ARCserve D2D servers that are managed by a CA ARCserve Central Applications server.

  Note: For CA ARCserve Backup nodes, CA ARCserve Backup collects PKI data and then synchronizes the data with CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager during the CA ARCserve Backup data synchronization process.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the application.
2. Open the Configuration screen by clicking Configuration on the Navigation bar.
3. From the Configuration panel, click SRM Configuration to display the SRM configuration options.
4. Click Enable to enable SRM.

   Note: By default, SRM Configuration is enabled.

5. Specify the following parameters to schedule SRM:
   • Repeat Method
   • Scheduled Time
6. Click Save to apply the SRM schedule.
7. (Optional) Click the Run Now to start the SRM data collection process now.
