DDos Releases

Where are the admin guides and command line reference docs for DDOS 4.9, and 5.0, etc?

If they are removed then that is unacceptable!

it's all there, please around with advanced search.

it's not that difficult to find, but i do agree i liked old DD website.

I will continue to search but it shouldn't be that difficult to find.

EMC really did a number on DD when they integrated into their system.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

For DDOS versions, you can check https://support.emc.com/kb/184446.  For upgrade path, you can check release notes. Rule of thumb is that you can jump at max with 2 major releases (where 5.3=5.4 so you can go from 5.1.x to 5.4.x). I'm not sure why you are interested in 4.9.x and 5.0.x if you installed it last year, but you can find pretty much everything using search.

4.9 and 5.0 are long since End of product support.

5.0 was eops 31st January 2014

5.1 was eops 30th September 2014.

I can't seem to find 4.9 listed but I believe it was about September 2013.

Although I agree that the old DD website was better for DD specifically, support.emc.com still provides the same content.

Many customers wanted a single portal for all their EMC products and so this was always going to happen, luckily it took a long time to allow us all to get used to it, both existing Data Domain customers and new EMC customers.

On the main landing page of support.emc.com I searched;

"4.9 command reference" without stating a product name (as "data domain" for example).

I found the administration and command reference guide for 4.9. Also all the release notes are listed for the minor releases at 4.9.

Although a DDOS is EOPS, EMC will not force you to upgrade DDOS unless there are specific issues that you have and we have fixed in that time, 5.0 first went GA on 27th January 2011 - that's a pretty long time to be fair and so the fix list will be huge.

We just won't be able to help you further if you have a problem and don't want to upgrade to a fixed code release.

I believe your concerns and queries are answered here, but if you have further concerns or I missed something, please let us know.

I thought that - different person asking that question, I very nearly missed it too

If you found the 4.9 command line reference and admin guide can you provide the link here?

I've searched using the process you mentioned and there's thousands of hits, but not what I'm looking for.

I'm new to this company so I cannot force them to upgrade the old OS on their DD120 box.

I just need the legacy documentation for now.

Sorry for hijacking this thread but this is important for me to find this.

Very good, but there's only one document there.  Been down that road.

Thanks anyway.  :-)

I may have a support contract with DD so I'll try opening a ticket.

Thanks again!

I'm puzzled by your search since it is obviously there (50 hits per page, second page of results).  If not seen, then I would assume results displayed are somewhat correlated to what you have in your inventory, but somewhat I doubt that.

I'm quite sure you can invest some time in further filtering from this point.

I didn't realize I had to use an authorized account.

I just created an account on my own so it doesn't know that I support/own any products.
