Figure 97 ABC Cape Town enterprise backup environment
The two cells at the ABC Pretoria MoM environment should share a Centralized Media Management Database. This should be configured on the MoM of cell D. The purpose of using the CMMDB is to enable the sharing of the HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library between the cells. Each of the cells in the environment should have its own Catalog Database.
The two cells at the ABC Durban MoM environment should, likewise, share a Centralized Media Management Database. This should be configured on the MoM of cell F. Each of the cells in the environment should also have its own Catalog Database.
Use an HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library for the ABC Pretoria environment and for the ABC Durban environment. With a capacity of 600 GB in compressed format, this library should suffice for the company’s projected needs in the next five years in each of these environments.
Estimating the size of the IDB
The Internal Database Capacity Planning Tool was used to estimate the size of the IDB in cell F in a year. This tool is located at:
