If nobody has any solution using only the DD, I figure I can just create another server on the internal network that has FTP and use NFS or CIFS to map the FTP folder to the proper share from DD.

I would really prefer not to have to use a second server, but hey at least there is a solution =)

Hope this helps someone

Has anyone set up their data domain to accept connections and backup from their CISCO environment such as Call Manager sing SFTP?

Hi,

Did you got the solution for this.  We also want to use FTPS/HTTPS to directly dump the data to a EMC Data Domain appliance.

Thanks

I am trying to figure out a good way to automate sending those backup files to DataDomain without granting too much access out of the DMZ zone. fedloan servicing

I thought FTP would be nice, its simple, I wouldn't think it as dangerous as forwarding SQL..

But FTP only seems to allow gathering files from the internal OS, and not from any of the actual shares.

Hi
  I was wondering if you are ok to dump the SQL Data directly to the CIFS share on the Data Domain, then map that share on the SQL server.
If yes, you can try the following

1. Open the CIFS Port on the DMZ and DD - See this Article - https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-33258
2. If the CIFS share created on DD is configured with AD, then you can use one of those accounts.
3. If not, try creating local user accounts for the same.
4. As it is DMZ, I don think these servers may be in DNS, just update the DD hosts file and SQL Server Hosts files as well.

Regarding FTP Port, I do not think it is Supported to accept data transfer via FTP

I like the way you made this article. Short but juicy. Thanks for sharing!

When a process or the kernel crashes or a core file is forced by DataDomain Support, the process image on memory is first staged to disk, then upon completion it becomes compressed (using GZIP) to reduce the file size. Note the uncompressed size for a FS process or kernel core may be close to that for the installed RAM on the system PrepaidGiftBalance Mastercard

I'm not sure you able to share the solution, as I plan to do the same using Data Domain SFTP to backup CUCM and Unity server

Thanks in advance

I was looking for an easy (and free) way to do some daily reporting on our data domain hardware.  I was most interested in reporting on disk space, but decided to gather some other data as well.  The easiest method I found is to use the info collected in the autosupport log. 

You can use FTP to send files to a DataDomain machine by doing the following:

• Use an FTP program or a command-line tool to connect to the DataDomain system.
• Use your login information to get into the system.
• Find the location where the files should be saved.
• To send the files to the DataDomain system, use the FTP program.

Hii,
1. login the DD  ---   #> ssh sysadmin@DataDomain

2. support bundle list check  --   #>  support bundle list

3. If not exist, collect new one  --- #> support bundle create default

4. check the created support bundle file.
pls check this idea to FTP Files to data domain. 
    

• FTP Limitations and Alternatives:

  • FTP Access: Typically, FTP servers like DataDomain may not support direct FTP access to their CIFS shares due to security and protocol limitations.
  • Alternative Protocols: Instead of FTP, consider using secure protocols like SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or SCP (Secure Copy) which provide encryption and authentication capabilities. These protocols are more secure than FTP and widely supported.
