The default installation path for the Recovery Manager is in C:\Program Files\HP\.

Configuring the Recovery Manager

Use the Recovery Manager for:

• “Configuring management group credentials” (page 5)

• “Configuring snapshot preferences” (page 7)

• “Automatically check for an upgrade” (page 8)

• “Configuring auto-mount policies for snapshots” (page 10)

Configuring management group credentials

Adding management group credentials in the Recovery Manager saves them as cached encrypted

credentials, so they are available for later use.

When adding management group credentials, you must have the following information available:

• One of the following:

Management group name◦

◦ An IP address associated with the management group. This can be the IP address of an

individual storage system or the virtual IP of the cluster hosting the volume and snapshots

in the management group.

• The administrator user name and password for the management group. The administrator

must be a member of an administrative group in the CMC with full permissions.

TIP: When you add credentials in Recovery Manager, Application Aware Snapshot Manager,

or the CLI, the credentials are saved and shared by all three tools. For example, if you previously

added credentials in the Application Aware Snapshot Manager, you do not need to add the

credentials in Recovery Manager.
