A SEP sesam DataMover is a functional role, which allows an access to a 3rd party software API. This DataMover role can be combined with a SEP sesam component (Sesam server, RDS or client). Which Sesam component is possible for combination depends on 3rd party software. Hereinafter the existing Sesam DataMovers are described.

SEP sesam [[Special:MyLanguage/SEP_sesam_Glossary#SDM|data mover]] is a functional role allowing access to a third-party software API or to redirect data stream to a SEP sesam server/remote device server. It tells the SEP sesam Server that the original client can only be reached by sending the request to the data mover. A data mover role can be combined either with a [[Special:MyLanguage/SEP_sesam_Glossary#SEP_sesam_Server|SEP sesam Server]], [[Special:MyLanguage/SEP_sesam_Glossary#RDS|SEP sesam Remote Device Server]] or a [[Special:MyLanguage/SEP_sesam_Glossary#SBC|SEP sesam Client]]. Which SEP sesam component is possible for combination depends on a third-party software.

* Operating system MS Windows Server 2003/2008 [R2]
<translate><!--T:20-->
* In the upcoming SEP sesam version 4.2 a SDM-VV on Linux will be supported !!
{{:Template:Data mover VMware vSphere/en}}
* 4GB main memory
* 50 GB harddisk
* A SEP sesam component (Sesam server, RDS or client) must be installed. A regular path backup has to work.
* Installation of the VMware VDDK version 5.0


=== Recommendation ===
<!--T:21-->
Based on a VMware VDDK restriction, the SDM-VV should run on a physical machine not on a VM. When the SDM-VV operates on a VM, it is not possible to backup a VM, which runs on the same ESXi hypervisor and is stored on the same VMware Datastore like the Sesam DataMover (SDM-VV).
For details, see [[Special:MyLanguage/4_4_3:VMware_Requirements_&_Restrictions|VMware Requirements & Restrictions]].


=== Function ===
== {{anchor|Citrix}}SEP sesam data mover for Citrix XenServer (SDM-CX) == <!--T:22--></translate>
To request of the VMware farm inforamtion, the SEP sesam server connects usually to the central vCenter server. All control tasks will be handled there:
<translate><!--T:23-->
* From which objects have the VM ?
{{:Template:Data mover Citrix XenServer/en}}
* On which ESXi hypervisor the VM is running ?
* Create and remove of VM snapshots


When all preparatory activities for backup or restore are completed with the vCenter server, the actual VM data will be picked up by the VMware VDDK the Sesam DataMover from the corresponding ESXi server and transport to the media server (Sesam server or RDS).
<!--T:24-->
For details, see [[Special:MyLanguage/4_4_3:Citrix_XenServer_Requirements_and_Configuration|Citrix XenServer Requirements and Configuration]].


If the Sesam DataMover (SDM-VV) has access to the same SAN LUNs that sees the ESXi hypervisor, and the SDM-VV works on a SEP Sesam SAN Remote Device Server (SAN-RDS) component, then on the SDM-VV, the data of the VM can be transported directly from the central storage to the storage device (LAN-free).

=== Function ===
When Citrix XenServer are organized in pools, the Sesam DataMover (SDM-CX) should always communicate directly with the pool master. At the backup starts, the pool master tells the SDM-CX on which Citrix XenServer the VM is located and force a communication switch to the appropriate Citrix XenServer (mapping).

Overview

SEP sesam data mover is a functional role allowing access to a third-party software API or to redirect data stream to a SEP sesam server/remote device server. It tells the SEP sesam Server that the original client can only be reached by sending the request to the data mover. A data mover role can be combined either with a SEP sesam Server, SEP sesam Remote Device Server or a SEP sesam Client. Which SEP sesam component is possible for combination depends on a third-party software.
