For details about the connections between Huawei OceanStor Dorado controller enclosures and application servers, between controller enclosures and disk enclosures, and between controller enclosures, see the Huawei OceanStor Dorado storage product documentation.

Networking description:

• Deploy one ESXi physical host, install the VMware VM software, create VMs, and preconfigured production data at the production file system end for f backup.
  
• Deploy the Data Protector software: Use both Windows and Linux VM servers as the Data Protector Cell and client.
  
• Deploy the AD Controller: Use one Windows server VM as the AD controller.
  
• All storage devices connect to the OpenText DataProtector through 10g Ethernet.
  
• The management network and service network are connected to the Data Protector software and Huawei OceanStor Dorado storage through switches.
  
• The tape library is connected to the storage device through the Fibre Channel.
