HP Data Protector Software Cell Manager Planning and Sizing

Cell Manager software topology
The Cell Manager is the key component of a Data Protector cell. It contains the Data Protector internal
database (IDB), and is responsible for the start of backup, restore, copy/consolidation, and media
management sessions.
Primary Data Protector processes
The Data Protector services (Windows) and daemons (UNIX) run on the Cell Manager.

In a Windows environment, the media management daemon (MMD) runs as an application process,
(mmd.exe) rather than a service. The MMD is started by the CRS service.
Run the omnisv –status command to check whether services/daemons are running.
