SCOPED TROUBLESHOOTING
Customer Speak
More than half my team spends 75% of their time troubleshooting issues. DPM 2010 has is really stable; but there are various environment & infrastructure issues that need a quick root cause diagnosis. In my environment, I have 82 DPM servers with 15 really scaled up DPM servers (1000+ data sources). DPM Central Console should help me quickly find the needle, not just in the hay stack, but in the entire barn.
You can get a scoped troubleshooting view based on the context (alert type & error id).
The user can quickly jump between alerts, affected items and the related backup jobs.
You are isolated from the complexity of the type of data source ; type of recovery point ; state of replica etc.
Lesser skilled operators, who are not specialists in DPM, can now handle most frequent failures caused by environmental issues, outages or misconfigurations.
ALERT REDUCTION
Customer Speak
A large number of alerts get generated due to a single root cause like Production Server not available Network, SQL Connection or Storage Outage No Free Tapes For each alert , a ticket gets raised. Each ticket increases the TCO.
ALERT CATEGORIZATION
Customer Speak
In my scaled environment, alerts need to be categorized and associated with the appropriate Admin teams. The Infra Team is responsible for ensuring the core moving parts like, Network, Servers & Libraries up & running. The Monitoring team is responsible for ensuring that the backups succeed DPM Central Console should provide easy views to ensure alerts reach the appropriate team ASAP.
REMOTE RECOVERY
Customer Speak
Recovery is not necessarily an infrequent operation especially in a scaled environment, such as ours. We have 2 recovery operators in our team & today too much time is spent on Finding the DPM Server associated with the data source to be recovered Establishing RDP connection - RDP connection time is typically 2 minutes Searching for the data source in DPM Recovery pane. Please make this easier & quicker We recover all HBI data sources once every 2 weeks for compliance.
Point Click Recover Simply select the data-source and press Recover DPM Central Console transparently identifies the associated DPM Server DPM Central console launches the Remote Management Console of the associated DPM server, directly into the Recovery tab, with the data source pre-selected.
The Recovery Operator selects the PIT & performs the recovery.

SUPPORTABILITY
Selectively Kill Jobs
In DPM 2010, if a Protection Group had multiple tape jobs running at a point of time, the user had to cancel all the tape jobs DPM 2012 provides you the capability to selectively pick a tape job and cancel it
