Can be downloaded from the web at Visio Cafe

Pre-Engagement Preparation Documents


Prior to visiting any client location for the installation of a new Data Domain Appliance, certain documents
are required to be completed by both the pre-sales staff as well as the delivery resources.

Pre-Engagement Questionnaire (PEQ)


A pre-engagement checklist will completed by pre-sales, project management and delivery staff for the
purposes of providing configuration information to delivery personnel. It is incumbent upon both the pre-
sales staff and the delivery resources to fill out the Pre-Engagement Questionnaire as completely as
possible prior to arriving on-site to do implementation work.
This checklist will serve as one of the inputs to the as-built configuration. A pre-engagement quesionnaire
contains many of the items in the as-built configuration. Ideally, this checklist will complete large sections
of that document. It is intended that the SE, with customer input, will fill out the PEQ. In practice, the
results provided directly from customer via this checklist can vary widely based upon the customers
technical staff and pre-installation preparation. The Pre-engagement questionnaire is available here.
Please select Questionnaire - PEQ Data Domain Framework - Shared Content to download the PEQ.

As-Built Configuration
Every installation will require the completion of an as-built configuration. This guide will detail the
configuration and design parameters that were applied during on-site implementation work. The tool to
generate the as-built configuration is available here. Please select As-Built Configuration Generator to
download the program.

VTL Qualifier & Compatibility Matrices


In addition to the configuration guide and pre-engagement questionnaire, should a VTL be installed, a
VTL qualifer will be completed by system architects or engineers and submitted to the solutions
verification center (SVC) for approval prior to a customer purchasing the VTL option. This document will
verify high-level design parameters as well as Device, Operating System and external hardware
compatibility. It is recommended that the delivery resoruce have a copy of the VTL qualifier and review it
prior to arriving at the customer premise. The SVC website here contains and maintains the VTL qualifier
(login required). In some instances, appliance or device compatibility will need to be verified in the field, if
this situation arises, the compatibility lists are as follows:
Application compatibility matrix is located here
DDBoost compatibility matrix is located here.
Archive compatibility list is located here
Please note that at the time of this procedure generators release, these matrices detail compatibility with
versions 5.3 DDOS code and have not been updated. For the most recent version of these lists, please
visit http://my.datadomain.com.

Post Engagement Processes & Documentation


When an engagement is finished, a completed as-built configuration a copy must forwarded to the PM
associated with project, in MS word format. The PM will provide the customer the as-built configuration in
PDF format. In addition, the configuration guide generator also outputs an XML file. This XML file should
also be attached to the email sent to the PM. The email sent to the Data Domain suport organization will
have a subject line that reads as follows: Customer Name, SN: <serial #>, PAS ID: <pas id>, Time Stamp
<yyyy-mm-dd-hr-mn>. This is exceptionally important and required, as this information is used to update
asset records and provide for account tracking. If you use the email button within the ACG both
documents will be attached, the email will be address to the PM on the project and the subject line will be
completed for you.
A tool is provided that will generate the configuration guide, the As-Built Configuration Generator (ACG), it
is located here. This tool will generate, from an autosupport device file, a post engagement document,
which will be a configuration guide, which is intended to be given to the customer and sent to EMC / Data
Domain support services. The instructions for the programs usage are located in the programs zip file.
Although the document generated by the included program will contain most of the values necessary to
provide a completed report, the document should be reviewed and information should be added or
deleted as required before providing it to the PM.

ES30 Unit Diagram

Rack and Cabling Recommendations


The shelves are 3U and the Data Domain controller is either 2U or 4U. For more detailed
information, see your Data Domain systems hardware overview. Before cabling the shelves,
physically install all shelves in the racks.
Mount the Data Domain controller starting above the first set of shelves in the rack (often 13U)
to provide the best trade-off in terms of serviceability, system expansion, and cabling. When
loading a rack with the units, fill the rack from the bottom up and empty the rack from the top down.
You can connect the 2-meter cable attached to the Data Domain controller to any shelf in the
same rack. To facilitate cabling between racks when two racks are used, install the Data
Domain controller in the left rack (as viewed when facing the controllers rear panel). After your
hardware is installed, route and organize ES30 cables by affixing them to the side of the rack to
facilitate servicing.
Although you can plan for growth by leaving empty positions in the rack, this method is safe only
if the rack is securely bolted to the floor, or if the resulting configuration has a low center of
gravity. When in doubt, do not leave empty spaces and populate from the bottom up. Install
filler panels in unused rack openings.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove a shelf that has been added to a system unless you are prepared to lose all
data in the system.

IMPORTANT: Do not mix ES20 and ES30 disk shelves on the same SAS chain (Physical Loop).

IMPORTANT: Do not mix ES30 SAS and ES30 SATA disk shelves on the same SAS chain (Physical
Loop).

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the maximum number of shelves per physical loop.

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the maximum cable length of 5 meters

Core Configuration
End User License Agreement (EULA)
The first time a user logs into a DD system the End User License Agreement (EULA) will be displayed, its
acceptance is required. The EMC representative should not accept the agreement. The customer should
accept the agreement. If the customer is not present to accept the EULA, press Ctrl-C to exit from the
EULA accept screen and continue the installation. Instruct the customer to accept the EULA in the GUI
or enter system show eula in the CLI.

CLI Configuration
The Core configuration of a data domain is most easily accomplished using a script that runs from the
command line. The configuration script runs the first time a Data Domain Appliance (DD) is booted and
can be run as needed by entering the command:
# config setup

Note: At the conclusion of this script a reboot is recommend

For each configuration section, you are prompted to answer a series of questions. Default values will be
contained in brackets immediately preceding a command. The script is divided into sections with each
section capable of being run independently of the previous sections. Follow these procedures:
Type y to configure a section.
Type n to skip a section and go to the next one.
Type a question mark (?) at a prompt to display more information.
Press either the Enter or Return key to accept the given value, such as [mail], or type a new value.
To make multiple entries in the list, separate each entry with either a comma or a space.
When prompted for a hostname, enter either its IP address or its fully qualified hostname, such as
srvr22.company.com.
All commands in the script are representative of an individual command that can be run from the
command line.
At the end of each section, a summary of your entries is displayed. You can accept or reject your
changes and go to the next section, or return to the beginning of that section and change any of the
settings. When you select Retry, you are shown your previous entries for each prompt.
To exit the CLI, you have to configure or skip each of the sections, or enter Ctrl+C.

1. [ ] Answer no to the first question


# Do you want to configure system using GUI wizard (yes|no) [no]: no

2. [ ] Log into the Data Domain system CLI as user sysadmin. The default password is the serial
number from the rear panel of the Data Domain system.
From a serial console or keyboard and monitor, log in to the Data Domain system at the login
prompt.
From a remote machine over an Ethernet connection, give the following command (with the
hostname you chose for the Data Domain system) and then give the default password.
# ssh -l sysadmin host-name
.

EMC CONFIDENTIAL version: 2.0.5.0

3. [ ] The first prompt after initial login requests that you change the sysadmin password.
The prompt appears only once. You can change the sysadmin password later with the user change
password command. To improve security, Data Domain recommends that you change the 'sysadmin'
password before continuing with the system configuration.
Change the 'sysadmin' password at this time? (yes|no) [no]:

Note: Do not change the password during an install unless specifically directed by the customer to do so.

4. [ ] The Data Domain system command config setup automatically starts next.
The configuration utility has eight sections: Licenses, Network, System, Filesystem, CIFS, NFS,
DDBoost and VTL. You can configure or skip any section. The command line interface automatically
moves from one section to the next.
5. [ ] The first configuration section is for licensing. Licenses that you ordered with the Data Domain
system are already installed. At the first prompt, type yes to configure or view licenses.
Enter the license characters, including dashes, for each license category.
Make no entry and press the Enter key for categories that you have not licensed.
Licenses Configuration
Configure Licenses at this time (yes|no) [no]: y

License Code
Enter your license code
: WH3G-RRB2-T2VP-5H5Y-D58B-CSXJ-8W

Do you want to add License (yes/no)?


[no]: yes

Note: A summary of your licenses appears. You can accept the settings (Save), reject the settings and
go to the next section (Cancel), or return to the beginning of the current section and change settings
(Retry). A Retry shows your previous choice for each prompt. Press Enter to accept the displayed value
or enter a new value.

Note: The above license keys do not represent all possible keys on a system

Note: You can email order.admin@datadomain.com for all DD license keys.

Note: If DHCP is disabled for all interfaces and then later enabled for one or more interfaces, the Data
Domain system must be rebooted.

The first prompt is for a Data Domain system machine name. Enter a fully-qualified name that
includes the domain name. For example: rstr01.yourcompany.com.
Hostname
Enter the hostname for this system (fully-qualified domain name)[]:

Supply a domain name, such as yourcompany.com, for use by Data Domain system utilities, or
accept the display of the domain name used in the hostname.
Domainname
Enter your DNS domainname []:

Configure each Ethernet interface that has an active Ethernet connection. You can accept or decline
DHCP for each interface. If the port does not use DHCP, enter the DNS information for that port.
If you enter yes for DHCP and DHCP is not yet available to the interface, the Data Domain system
attempts to configure the interface with DHCP until DHCP is available. Use the net show settings
command to display which interfaces are configured for DHCP.
If you are on an Ethernet interface and you choose not to use DHCP for the interface, the
connection is lost when you complete the configuration.
At the last prompt, entering Cancel deletes all new values and goes to the next section.
Each interface is either a 1Gbe or a 10Gbe connection. The same set of prompts appears for each
interface.
The DDOS 5.x naming port naming convention uses the following method:
For on-board NIC vertical interfaces, the top interface is named either eth0a or Ma (on the DD2500)
and further interfaces increment as follows, either eth0b, eth0c, etc or Mb, Mc, etc.
For on-board NIC horizontial interfaces the left interface as viewed from the rear, is named eth0a
and further interfaces increment as follows, eth0b, eth0c, etc.
For horizontially installed interface cards with more than two ports, the left interface as viewed from

License (Capacity Based)


Starting with DDOS version 5.1 Data Domain Appliances began to license storage capacity. All ES30
storage shelves and some ES20 storage shelves will require a license to become addressable space on
the unit. ES20 licensing applicability depends upon the serial number. If the shelf license matches the
following pattern, it will require capacity licensing:
SHU0xxxxxx2xxxx
The license is issued as either active or archive tier. Systems containing the Extended Retention
Software Option (ERSO) is the only product that has an archive tier. Archive tier license keys cannot be
used as active tier keys.
The capacity license(s) for a shelf are located within the box of the Data Domain appliance, not in the box
with the shelf, when the initial order includes both a head unit and shelves. The license is sent with the
shelf, if a shelf unit is ordered separately from a head unit. If a shelf is ordered independent of a head
unit then the capacity license will be included in the shelf packaging, see Figure 1.

IMPORTANT: Save all licensing paperwork, as it will be used in the future.

Configuring Failover
The procedure for configuring a virtual interface from physical Ethernet interfaces follows.

1. [ ] Disable each of the Ethernet ports that is to be part of the virtual interface by entering this
command for each port:
# net disable ethx

where x is the slot and y is the port name. For example:


# net disable eth2a
# net disable eth2b

2. [ ] To create a virtual interface, use the net create command and choose a virtual interface. For
example:
# net create virtual veth1

3. [ ] Assign a failover virtual interface named veth1; using two of the physical Ethernet ports ethxy.

Note: In the case of 1 Gb failover, one virtual interface can have more than two physical interfaces.

For example, to assign a virtual interface named veth1 using the physical interfaces eth3a and eth3b,
enter:
# net failover add veth1 interfaces eth3a eth3b primary eth3b

this output displays:


Interfaces for veth1: eth2a, eth2b
4. [ ] Verify that the interface has been configured by entering:
# net failover show

The hardware address and configured interfaces (eth2a, eth2b) for the interface named veth1 are
displayed.
5. [ ] (Optional) To add another physical interface, such as eth2a, to the virtual interface, enter:
# net failover add veth1 interfaces eth2a

This output displays:

Interfaces for veth1: eth2a,eth2b,eth5a

Note: When creating VLAN interfaces on an aggregated interface, do not assign an IP address at this
time. Assign an IP address at the time of VLAN configuration.

6. [ ] Assign an IP address to the new interface:


# net config ifname ipaddr

where ifname is the name of the interface (veth1 in this example).

Configuring Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)


Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) is a bonding protocol used to provide active coordination or link status
via heartbeat messages and failure handling of links that experience issues. LACP is limited to
configuration on a single switch.
When setting up an LACP link several parameters can be set that affect the performance of the bond.
Slow / fast timers and up\ down timers and the hash algorithm used.
The slow / fast option determines how often a heartbeat message is sent to determine link status. The
default is slow at 30 seconds. Fast changes the option to one second.
The up / down option determines how long LACP will wait before reacting to a link state change. The
value is set in milliseconds and in intervals of .9 seconds.
The hash algorithm determines which variables will be used to perform link selection.

Note: It is very important to select the proper load balancing algorithm as the differing options can
significantly affect data transfer rates and they by, performance.

The net aggregate command creates a virtual interface with the specified physical interfaces and uses
one of three aggregation modes. Select the mode that is compatible with the switch:
xor-L2
Xor Layer 2 transmits packets based on static balanced mode aggregation with an XOR hash of Layer 2
(inbound and outbound MAC addresses).
xor-L3L4
Xor Layer 3\4 transmits packets based on static balanced mode aggregation with an XOR hash of Layer
3 (inbound and outbound IP address) and Layer 4 (inbound and outbound port numbers).

7. [ ] Disable each of the interfaces that you plan to use as aggregation interfaces, such as eth2a and
eth3, by entering:
# net disable eth3a
# net disable eth3b

8. [ ] Enter:
# net aggregate add <virtual-ifname> mode {roundrobin | lacp hash {xor-L2 |xor-L2L3
| xorL3L4}interfaces physical-ifnamelist

For example, to create a virtual interface veth1 from the two physical interfaces eth3a and eth3b,
using the mode xor-L2, enter:
# net aggregate add veth1 mode lacp hash xor-L2 interfaces eth3a eth3b

Note: Optional command variables can be added to this command, as needed by network conditions,
those options are rate {fast / slow}, up / down {time}

9. [ ] To verify that the interface has been created, enter:


# net aggregate show

EMC CONFIDENTIAL version: 2.0.5.0

32 of 102
EMC Data Domain SolVe Generator
Solution for Validating your engagement

The output displays the name of the virtual interface, its hardware address, aggregation mode, and
the ports that comprise the virtual interface.

Note: When creating VLAN interfaces on an aggregated interface, do not assign an IP address at this
time. Assign an IP address at the time of VLAN configuration.

10. [ ] Assign an IP address to the new interface using this command:


# net config ifname ipaddr

where ifname is the name of the interface, which is veth1 in this example, and ipaddr is the interfaces
IP address.

Configuring a Cisco Router


On a Cisco router you must set up a channel group and choose the load-balancing algorithm to match
what is configured on the Data Domain system, below is an example configuration:
interface Port-channel1
switchport
interface Ethernet1/1
switchport
channel-group 1 mode active
end
interface Ethernet1/2
switchport
channel-group 1 mode active
end

Configuring Link Aggregation (Active Only)


Note: It is very important to select the proper load balancing algorithm as the differing options can
significantly affect data transfer rates and they by, performance.

The net aggregate command creates a virtual interface with the specified physical interfaces and uses
one of three aggregation modes. Select the mode that is compatible with the switch:
roundrobin
Roundrobin transmits packets, in sequential order from the first available link through the last, in the
aggregated group.
xor-L2
Xor Layer 2 transmits packets based on static balanced mode aggregation with an XOR hash of Layer 2
(inbound and outbound MAC addresses).
xor-L2L3
Xor Layer 2 transmits packets based on static balanced mode aggregation with an XOR hash of Layer 2
(inbound and outbound MAC addresses) and with an XOR hash of Layer 3 (inbound and outbound IP
address).
xor-L3L4
Xor Layer 3\4 transmits packets based on static balanced mode aggregation with an XOR hash of Layer
3 (inbound and outbound IP address) and Layer 4 (inbound and outbound port numbers).

VLANs and VLAN Tagging (802.1Q)


Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are virtual networks each with an independent IP subnet and
broadcast domain.
VLAN Tagging is a networking used for the sharing of a physical Ethernet network link by multiple
independent logical networks, (ie. you can use the same physical interface for multiple VLANs). If
multiple VLANs are set up on a single interface, tagging will automatically occur.
To configure a VLAN (and its associated tagging):

1. [ ] Configure the switch port that connects to the interface to receive and send VLAN traffic from the
Data Domain interface. See the switch documentation for details on the configuration.
2. [ ] On the Data Domain system, enable the interface that you plan to use as the VLAN interface,
such as eth5b, by entering:
# net config eth5b up
3. [ ] Create the VLAN interface using either a physical port or a configured virtual port The range for
vlan-id is between 1 and 4098:
# net create interface { physical-ifname | virtual-ifname } vlan vlan-id
For example, to create a VLAN interface on a physical interface eth5b, enter:
# net create interface eth5b vlan 1
A VLAN interface named eth5b.1 is created.
4. [ ] Assign an IP address and netmask to the new interface using this command:
# net config ifname ipaddr netmask mask
where ifname is the name of the interface, which is eth2b.1 in this example, ipaddr is the interfaces
IP address, and mask is the corresponding netmask.

Note: DHCP cannot be used to assign an IP address to a VLAN.

5. [ ] To verify that the interface has been created, enter:


# net show settings
port enabled DHCP IP address netmask additional setting
------- ------- ---- -------------- ------------- -------------
eth5b.1 yes no 192.168.11.156 255.255.252.0

enabled.

IP Aliasing
IP aliasing is a configuration option that allows you to put more than one address on a single interface.
Physical or Virtual interfaces can accept an IP alias.
To create an IP alias (where basename is the physical interface and alias in the number of the alias):
# net create interface <basename> alias <number>
To configure an IP alias:
# net config eth0b:59 192.168.5.97 netmask 255.255.255.252
To destroy an IP alias on a configured interface:
# net destroy eth0b:159
To add an IP alias to an already configured interface:
# net config <basename>

Mtrees
An Mtree is a logical division of the filesystem that deduplicates and isolates pre-compresssed data.
From a user point of view all data contained within an mtree is logically segregated into that mtree and
does not comingle with other data. When possible, Mtrees should be configured to align data sets with
common aging and retention policies. Multiple Mtrees can exist on a single Data Domain system. An
Mtree can be replicated to another Data Domain. From a customer data management perspective, the
Mtrees that are created should be functionally grouped to match data sets (ex. Oracle, Exchange
backups, SharePoint, etc), organizational (ex. The accounting backups, HR, etc) or by retention policy
(ex. The weekly backups, the monthly backups, etc). Mtree creation is dependant upon the customer
environment.

Mtrees Quotas (Optional)


There are two kinds of quotas: hard limits and soft limits. You can set either a soft or hard limit or both a
soft and hard limit. Both values must be integers and the soft value must be less than the hard value.
With a soft limit an alert is sent when the Mtree size exceeds the limit, but data can still be written to it.
When a hard limit is set, data cannot be written to the Mtree when the hard limit is reached. Therefore, all
copy and backup operations fail. The advantage of Mtree operations is that they can be performed on a
specific Mtree as opposed to the entire file system. View, Create or Delete Mtrees.

CLI Equivalent
To enable quotas globally, enter the following command:
# quota status
Quota is enabled

To disable quotas globally, enter the following command:


# quota disable

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)


SNMP is a protocol that all a host to send an alert to a trap manager who in turn will capture that alert and
perform an action based upon the alert. A common response to make support staff aware of a potential
issue. The Data Domain unit support SNMP versions 2, 2c and 3.

CLI Commands
SNMP Version 2
In SNMP version 2 when a DataDomain system administrator created a user-defined SNMP community,
the community string would be shared with all users in a network. With SNMP version 2C supported the
administrator can specify that the community string is only returned after a request from particular hosts.
To enable SNMP, enter the following command:
# snmp enable
SNMP is enabled.

A community string is a value that is similar to a password and defines the community in which a device is
resident. A common value for the read-only string is public and a common value for the read-write string
is private.
To add a read-write community string, enter the following command:
# snmp add rw-community comm-string
# snmp add rw-community private

Community strings such as 'public' or 'private' are well-known and insecure.

# snmp add trap-host hostname[:port]
# snmp add trap-host ddbeta1

SNMPv2 Trap Hosts:

SNMP Version 3
The SNMP version 3 support provides a greater degree of security than 2C by replacing clear text
community strings as a means of authentication with user-based authentication using either MD5 or
SHA1. Also with SNMP V3, user authentication packets can be encrypted and their integrity verified with
either DES or AES.
To add an SNMP user, enter the following command:
# snmp user add <user-name> access {read-only | read-
write}[[authentication-protocol {MD5 | SHA1}[authentication-key <auth-
key>][privacy-protocol {AES | DES}][privacy-key <priv-key>]]
# snmp user add snmpuser access read-only authentication-protocol MD5

To del an SNMP user, enter the following command:


# snmp user del <username>

Certificates and Certificate Authorities


A digital certificate establishes who a sender is and provides details to the receiver about decrypting the
text. A certificate authority validates a certificate. It contains a combination of public and private key
information. Only one certificate is used per data domain system.

A data domain system allows the import of certification authority (CA) and host certificates for
communicating with the RSA Key Manager/Data Protection Manager, and for the HTTPS service
accessing the DD embedded key manager.

Supported formats
PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) Host public key and CA certficiate
PKCS12 (encrypted file) Host certificate (public and private key), password is required to decrupt
PKCS10 used for Certificate signing request (CSR)

Note: All ceritificate management work must occur within the CLI

Import a Host Certificate


To import a host certificate from the shell prompt on your local environment execute the following
command:
# adminaccess certificate import host host_cert.p12
Enter password:
Host certificate imported.

This will execute the command to import the certificate on the destination DD system You will be
prompted with "Password:" after entering the command. This password is the login password for
"sysadmin" on the DD system where you are installing the certificate.

Import a CA Certificate
Importing a CA certificate is a little easier, as there is no certificate password:
# adminaccess certificate import ca ca_cert.pem
Enter password:
Host certificate imported.

You will be prompted with "Password:" after entering the command. This password is the login password
for "sysadmin" on the DD system where you are installing the certificate. There is no need (or command)
to process certificate files copied to the DD system using CIFS, NFS, FTP or any other file transfer
process.

DDNS Configuration (Optional)


DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is the protocol used by CIFS that allows machines on a network to communicate
with, and register their IP address on, a DNS Server.

Note: To utilizing DDNS an active directory domain must be joined

SCSITarget
Scsitarget is a unified management daemon for all SCSI services and transports. It supports both VTL
and Boost over Fibre Channel (Boost-FC). It supports anything that has a target LUN on the DD System.

Note: VTL and Boost-FC can run on the same system but they cannot share the same HBA ports.

Note: DDBoost can service both Fibre Channel and IP clients simultaneously however; both transports
cannot share the same initiator.

Note: Only one initiator should be present per access group. Each access group is assigned a type, (VTL
or DFC).

Supported SCSI Target Architectures


VTL plus Boost-FC from different initiators is OK.
Two different initiators (on the same client or different clients) may access a DDR via VTL and DFC,

Drives the numbers of drives to be created will correspond to the number of data streams that will write
to a VTL.
Drive Model, the Data Domain emulates the IBM LTO-1 (default), IBM LTO-2, IBM LTO-3, IBM LTO-4 ,
HP LTO-3 and HP LTO-4 drives.
Number of Slots, the number of slots must be equal to or greater than the number of drives created.
To avoid reconfiguring the VTL, and since up to 64,000 slots can be created (total, not per VTL), to
ease management overhead, and if possible, create enough slots so that tapes can remain in the VTL
and will never have to be exported to a vault. The maximum number of slots in a VTL is 32,000. In
addition, since many applications are licensed by number of slots this factor should also be considered.
As an example, with a standard 100-GB cartridge on a DD580 you may configure 5000 slots. This
would be enough for them to hold up tp 500-TB (assuming reasonably compressible data).
Number CAPS, to determine the usage Cartridge access points refer to the documentation related to
the backup software utilizing the VTL.
Changer Model, the Data Domain emulates the StorageTek L180, the Restorer L180, The IBM TS
3500 and the ADIC i2000 tape libraries. The L180 is the default value. The VTL support matrix, which
can be found with this PG distribution, will detail the compatibility of emulated libraries to supported
software.

Note: Do not mix drive types (LTO-1, LTO, etc) or media types in the same library. Doing otherwise can
create unexpected results and/or errors in the backup operation.

Note: The IBM TS3500 drive emulation model should be used with IBMi deployments.

Tape Barcodes
The 8-character barcode must start with six numeric or upper-case alphabetic characters (from the set {0-
9, A-Z}) and end in a two-character tag for the supported LT0 tape type, where:
L1 represents a tape of 100 GiB capacity.
L2 represents a tape of 200 GiB capacity.
L3 represents a tape of 400 GiB capacity.
LA represents a tape of 50 GiB capacity,
LB represents a tape of 30 GiB capacity,
LC represents a tape of 10 GiB capacity.
These capacities (L1, LA, LB, LC is LTO-1; L2 is LTO-2; and L3 is LTO-3) are the default sizes used if the
capacity option is not included when creating the tape cartridge. If capacity is included, then it overrides
the two-character tag. The numeric characters immediately to the left of L set the number for the first
tape created.
For example, a barcode of ABC100L1 starts numbering the tapes at 100.
A few representative sample barcodes:
000000L1 creates tapes of 100 GiB capacity and can accept a count of up to 1,000,000 tapes (from
000000 to 999999).
AA0000LA creates tapes of 50 GiB capacity and can accept a count of up to 10,000 tapes (from 0000
to 9999).

AAAA00LB creates tapes of 30 GiB capacity and can accept a count of up to 100 tapes (from 00 to 99).
Working with Tapes
AAAAAALC creates one tape of 10 GiB capacity. You can only create one tape with this name and not
increment.
AAA350L1 creates tapes of 100 GiB capacity and can accept a count of up to 650 tapes (from 350 to
999).
000AAALA creates one tape of 50 GiB capacity. You can only create one tape with this name and not
increment.
5M7Q3KLB creates one tape of 30 GiB capacity. You can only create one tape with this name and not
increment.
To make use of automatic incrementing of the barcode when creating more than one tape, Data Domain
starts at the sixth character position, just before L. If this is a digit, then it increments it, if an overflow
occurs, 9 to 0, and then it moves one position to the left. If it is a digit, then it is incremented. If the sixth
character is alphabetic, it stops. Data Domain recommends creating tapes with unique bar codes only.
Duplicate bar codes in the same tape pool create an error. Although no error is created for duplicate bar
codes in different pools, duplicate bar codes may cause unpredictable behavior in backup applications.

Tape Count & Size Determination


The size of the tapes created can vary based upon the environment in question and there are several
factors to consider when determining an optimal size however, in the absence of specific information,
the following is a generic recommendation regarding tape sizes and the platforms they support. Begin
with 100GB tapes. This value is simply a place to begin, as deduplication occurs and the data set
matures, adjustments may need to be made to achieve a more optimal tape size value.

Note: These are general guidelines that may not accurately represent the environment

a fabric. A secondary port is a port that will broadcast a set of LUNs in the event of primary path failure
(this requires manual intervention). A setting of none is used in the case where you do not wish to
advertize selected LUNs. The presentation of LUNs is dependant upon the SAN topology in question.

Replication
The Data Domain appliance can be set up for directory, collection or Mtree based replication.

Note: Media pools are replicated by Mtree as a default. A media pool can be created in backwards
compatibility mode and can then be replicated via directory-based replication. You cannot use the pool://
syntax to create replication contexts using the command line. When specifying pool based replication in
the GUI either directory or Mtree based replication will be created, based upon the media pool type.

Directory replication provides replication at the level of individual directories. Mtree based replication
replicates entire mtrees (i.e. virtual file structure that enables advanced management). Media pools can
also be replicated, and by default, in DDOS 5.3 an Mtree is created that will be replicated. A media pool
can also be created in backwards compatibility mode which, when replicated, will be a directory based
replication context.
Each replication type establishes a context associated with an existing directory or Mtree on a source
unit. The replicated context is created on the target unit when a context is established. The context
establishes a replication pair, is always active and any data landing in the source location will be copied
to the target location at the earliest opportunity. Replicating VTL tape cartridges (or pools) simply means
replicating mtrees or directories that contain VTL tape cartridges. Collection replication duplicates the
entire data store on an appliance and transfers that to the remote appliance, the replicated volume is
read-only.
Each Data Domain system can be the source and \ or the destination for replication contexts. During
replication, each Data Domain system can perform normal backup and restore operations.
With all replication:
A destination Data Domain system must have available storage capacity that is at least the size of the
expected maximum size of the source directory. Be sure that the destination Data Domain system has
enough network bandwidth and disk space to handle all traffic from replication sources.
The Data Domain appliance file system must be enabled or, based upon the replication type, will be
enabled as part of the replication initiliazation.
The source must exist
The target location must not exist
The target destination will be created when a context is built and initialized
After replication is initialized, ownership and permissions of the destination are always identical to
those of the source.
In the replication command options, a specific replication pair is always identified by the destination.
Both systems must have an active, visible route through the IP network so that each appliance can
resolve its partners hostname.
With Directory:
Do not mix CIFS and NFS data within the same directory. A single destination Data Domain system
can receive backups from both CIFS clients and NFS clients as long as separate directories are used
for CIFS and NFS.
Any directory can be in only one context at a time. A parent directory may not be used in a replication
context if a child directory of that parent is already being replicated.
Directory based replication only functions within the /data/col1/backup default Mtree

EMC CONFIDENTIAL version: 2.0.5.0

64 of 102
EMC Data Domain SolVe Generator
Solution for Validating your engagement

With Collection:
No granular replication control is possible. All data is copied from source to destination producing a
read only copy on the target appliance.
The target file system must be disabled prior to creating the replication context
Configuration information is not created at the destination, only data is copied to the destination
With Mtree:
Mtree destination contexts will be created as read-only mtrees
Snapshots must be created on source contexts
Snapshot cannot be created on a replication target
Snapshots are replicated with a fixed retention of one year however, the retention is adjustable on the
target appliance and must be adjusted there
Archive data movement policies cannot be run on a destination replica mtree
Replication contexts must be configured on both the target and the source unit.

Note: When replicating with DDBoost replication contexts need not be configured. The Lifecycle polices
control replication of information with no intervention from the user. DDBoost will build and tear down
contexts as needed on the fly.

Note: Paths configured in replication contexts are absolute references and do not change based upon the
unit in which they are configured.

Note: Archive teir data can now be replicated from extended retention to extended retention systems

Note: The default behavior of replicaition includes the propagation of retention lock. This behavior can be
altered per replication context. If retention lock is licensed on a source appliance, the target appliance must
also have a retention lock license applied or replication will fail. This behavior can be disabled or modified
by disabling propagate retention lock.

Note: If retention lock is enabled on an replicaition context a repliciated target context will always contain
data that is retention locked.

Replication Methodologies and Types


Replication in the Data Domain is configured using both a topology and a type. There are three
replication types collection, Mtree and directory. Collection replication copies an entire system from a
source system to the destination system. Directory replication duplicates data at an individual
subdirectory level under /backup or /data/col1/subdirectory. Mtree replication duplicates data for an
individual Mtree /data/col1/pathname. Replication supports five topologies one to one, one to one
bidirectional, one to many, many to one and cascaded.

Note: Ensure your replication is transiting \ exiting the correct interface. When defining a replication context
the hostnames of the source and target DD units must resolve with forward and reverse lookups. In order
to make the data transit alternate interfaces on the appliance, other than the default resolving interface, the
replication context must be modified after creation. It may be necessary to set up host files to ensure that
contexts are defined on non-resolving (cross-over) interfaces.

Initialize a Replication Context


Enterprise Manager will automatically initialize replication.

To start replication between a source and destination, use the replication initialize command on the
source. The command checks that the configuration and connections are correct and returns error
messages if any problems appear. If the source holds a large volume of data, the initialize operation can
take many hours.
Once configured to begin the process of replication enter the following command, in the CLI the
initialization must occur manually, on the source unit:

Note: If you wish to direct traffic out of a specific port modify a current context by altering the connection
host parameter using a hostname previously defined in the local hosts file to address the alternate
appliance. The hostname that will be used will correspond to the target data domain appliance. The host
entry will indicate an alternate destination address for that host. This may be required on both the source
and destination appliances.

Creation Recommendations (Mtree Replication)


Mtree based replication is essentially snapshot based replication associated with an Mtree. Mtree based
replication is the logical equivalent of collection based replication associated with an Mtree. Mtrees are
created within the DD GUI or CLI and are replicated as necessary. Data can be logically segregated into
multiple mtrees to promote greater replication performance. The current recommendation is a maximum
number of twenty-eight concurrently active mtrees or the limitations of the appliance (i.e. If you exceed 28
concurrently-accessed mtrees, read or write, or you may incur significant performance degradation).

Folder Creation Recommendations (Directory Replication)


The following section describes best practice examples detailing the creation of a directory structure on a
Data Domain unit with the intention of replicating that structure, or a portion thereof, to a remote unit.
Please be aware these are examples and the environment in which the replication solution will be
implemented will dictate the most viable configuration.
Directories should always be created (via CIFS or NFS) from a permitted host that will be writing to a
volume on the data domain.
Please see the example below:

EMC CONFIDENTIAL version: 2.0.5.0

77 of 102
EMC Data Domain SolVe Generator
Solution for Validating your engagement

Prior to creating a directory structure, ensure you are creating the directories in the /backup Mtree. To
provide a granular separation of data users will then need to create, from a host machine, the other
directories (CommVault, Exchange, etc) within the /backup Mtree. Each directory will be based upon the
clients environment and the desire to replicate those directories to another location. You will not replicate
the entire /backup Mtree but instead would setup replication contexts on each subdirectory underneath
/data/col1/backup/ (ex. /data/col1/backup/Oracle). The purpose of this threefold:
It allows control of the destination locations as oracle may go to one site and exchange may go to
another.
This level of granularity allows management, monitoring and fault isolation. Each replication context
can be paused, stopped, destroyed or reported upon.
Performance is limited on a single context. The creation of multiple contexts can improve aggregate
replication performance.
As a very general recommendation, approximately 5 10 contexts may be required to distribute
replication load across multiple replication streams. This must be validated against the site design and
the volume and composition of the data at the location.

CAUTION: Recommending a number of contexts is a design dependant issue and in some cases,
significant implications are attached to the choices made about segregating data for the purposes
of optimizing replication. Data is usually optimized for the manner in which it will rest not in manner
with which it will replicate keep this in mind when altering a backup environment.

Encryption (In-Flight)
Encryption in-flight is the ability to encrypt a replication context, using SSL and 256bit AES. Utilizing In-
flight encryption will have a performance impact that should be relatively minimal however; that is
dependent upon the characteristics of the WAN and the CPU utilization on the appliance. Be sure to
disable a currently configured replication context before applying encryption to it.
To encrypt a replication context as it is initially configured:
# replication add source dir://ddsource.test.com/backup/directorytorep
destination dir://ddtarget.test.com/backup/directorytorep encryption
[enable | disable]
To encrypt a replication context that has already been configured first disable the context that is to be
encrypted:
# replication disable rctx://X (where X is the number of the context to
disable):
Modify the context:
# replication modify source dir://ddsource.test.com/backup/directorytorep
destination dir://ddtarget.test.com/backup/directorytorep encryption

Encryption
The encryption Data at Rest feature encrypts all incoming (and optionally, existing) data to the Data
Domain system before it is written to the physical storage media. A passphrase must be entered when

it.
To enable encryption enter the following command:
# filesys encryption enable
Enter new passphrase:
Re-enter new passphrase:
Passphrases matched.
The passphrase is set.
The encryption feature is now enabled.

Embedded Key Manager


A Data Domain system can use either the Embedded Key Manager or the RSA Data Protection Manager
(DPM) Key Manager. A key manager controls the generation, distribution, and lifecycle management of
multiple encryption keys. Only one can be in effect at a time.
When encryption is enabled on a Data Domain system, the Embedded Key Manager is in effect by
default. A key is created when the key manger is first enabled. Encryption keys determine the output of
the cryptographic algorithm. The Embedded Key Manager generates its keys internally, and can rotate
those keys. Only one encryption key is active on a Data Domain system. A file system restart is required
for a new key manager to be operational.

Note: To make changes to the embedded key manager you must be logged in using security officer
creditials

Note: Under normal conditions the security officer and the systems administrator are separate individuals
and both must be present to enable this process.

Retention Lock
The Data Domain offers two types of retention lock licenses, compliance and governance. It is possible
to have both options licensed on a single appliance.

Retention Lock Governance


This software feature protects selected files from modification and premature deletion, that is, deletion
before a specified retention period has expired.

Retention Lock Compliance


This software feature allows you to meet the strictest data retention requirements from regulatory
standards such asSEC17a-4.

CLI Commands \ Activities


To enable retention lock on and mtree please enter the following command(s):
# mtree retention-lock enable mode governance mtree /data/col1/quota_test
Retention-lock feature is enabled for mtree /data/col1/quota_test.

To remove retention lock from an mtree please enter the following command(s):
# mtree retention-lock revert /data/col1/quota_test
The 'mtree retention-lock revert' command removes retention-lock on this path
thereby making it unprotected.
Are you sure? (yes|no|?) [no]: y

Support Email Setup


Setup & Test Autosupports
The Data Domain appliance sends out two emails each day: an autosupport email and an alert summary.
In addition, if an alert event occurs, an alert email is generated. The autosupport email contains device
state and configuration items. The alerts email contains alert notifications as they occur. The alerts
summary email contains current alerts, alerts history and log messaging. By default, the lists include an
address for Data Domain support staff. The email-list is a list of addresses that are comma-separated,
space-separated or both. To add an email address to any list, use the autosupport add or alerts add
commands.
To add email addresses to the support list use the following command:
# autosupport add asup-detailed emails test@test.com
Autosupport email:
autosupport@autosupport.datadomain.com
east1dd510a@datadomain.com

Customer external mail relays must be configured to allow the emails generated by the Data Domain
Appliance to exit the network from which it is currently attached. To test that external mail relays
allow the use the following command:
# autosupport test email jsmith@yourcompany.com
OK: Message sent.
If the result from the command is OK: message sent then the mail has been forwarded outside of the
current network and should be working. If an error message is generated ask the client to verify their
mail relay settings. In the field the best way to confirm this is to add yourself to the test line and verify
that the test email arrives at your email enabled mobile device.

How to get an Autosupport file off of the Data Domain


There are three primary methods of getting an autosupport off a data domain unit. In order of preference
they are:
Via an autosupport send command where the Implementation Specialist is the recipient using the
following command:
# autosupport send example_user@emc.com
By logging into the /ddvar/support directory and retrieving it form that location (Please see: Additional
Common CIFS Commands \ Activities to do this)
By logging into the GUI and copying it from that interface (find them under Maintenance > Support)
The first method is preferred because, as part of the normal installation and testing process above,
autosupports must be sent to autosupport@autosupport.datadomain.com. Once that is accomplished,
sending an additional autosupport takes moments. The other two methods are included in the event that
it is not possible to get the autosupports relaying out of the customer environment to the DD support staff.

managing a Data Domain System via the imbedded IPMI interface. An Ethernet port will be used for the
connection and a user will need to be set up on the system to utilize the interface. In addition and IP
address will be assigned to the interface.

Note:Some units have a dedicated port used for the ILO function. Other units must share a port with other
management or customer traffic.

When running DD OS version 5.4.0.4, DD2500 systems experience these limitations:

The BMC LAN management port (RJ45) is not supported.

Serial Over LAN (SOL) is not available.

IPMI support may be configured through one of the host interfaces.

These limitations will be addressed in a future release of DD OS.

SOL for IPMI (SOL)


You can use the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) to power up, power down, or power
cycle a client Data Domain system in a remote location, from a host Data Domain system, if both systems
support this standard.

Solution for Validating your engagement

The Serial-Over-LAN (SOL) feature of IPMI is used to view the serial output of a remote systems boot
sequence.
Follow the steps below to set up an SOL connection.

1. [ ]Connect the LAN cable to LAN port (older models) or the management port (third single LAN port, for
DD890, DD860, and DD670).

Note:If the BIOS on your Data Domain controller is password protected, contact Data Domain Support for
assistance.

2. [ ]Run ipmi show config to obtain the port name (for example, bmc0a).
3. [ ]Run ipmi config bmc0a dhcp to config an IPMI port using DHCP or a static IP address.
4. [ ]If this is not the first time that IPMI is being used, run ipmi user reset to clear existing IPMI users
(they might be out of sync with the two ports and to disable default users).
5. [ ]Run ipmi user add sysadmin to add a new IPMI user.
6. [ ]Run system option set console lan.
7. [ ]Run ipmi remote console to activate the SOL connection.
8. [ ]To disconnect from an SOL session and return to the command line, use the symbol @.
On most supported Data Domain controllers, the SOL bit rate is 9600 bps.

Note:Following a BIOS upgrade, reset the BIOS setting for SOL usage.

For instructions on using the SOL feature, see the ipmi command in the DD OS 5.3 Command Reference
Guide.

All procedures to follow will be for the external device that is too be integrated with the Data Domain
appliance.

Data Domain ESRS IP Device Deployment


ESRS Configuration
ESRS configuration is the process by which EMC end devices become actively managed by an ESRS IP
Solution Client. This enables the EMC device to send connect home messages back to EMC and it also
enables EMC Support to remotely connect to the EMC device via the ESRS IP Solution.

Note: For the Data Domain systems, ESRS currently only provides ping monitoring and remote connectivity
from support.

All device management requests must be accepted within ServiceLink. Unapproved device management
requests will NOT be actively managed by the Gateway Client, and will remain listed in ServiceLink with a
Pending status until approved. Once the device management request has been approved and the
ServiceLink to Gateway client synchronization process completes, the client will begin monitoring the
device, and remote access sessions to the device can be routed through the client.
When deploying devices against a High Availability Gateway Cluster, the management process only
needs to be completed once. All Gateway Clients within the Cluster will receive a sync message with
updated device management, edits and/or removals.
For information regarding usage of the ServiceLink UI, refer to ESRS IP Solution ServiceLink Customer
Service Procedure 2102 (CSP-2102).
