DEPLOYMENT failures and questions
The goal of this discussion is to provide a place for any initial IDPA/PPDP Deployment- planning, questions or issues.
This will be a work in progress and we welcome questions and contributions from all.
Lets get started...
Dell Professional Services (PS) normally does initial Deployments of IDPA/PPDP and is the best resource for planning and preparation before the Deployment.
Contact your Account Manager to get the process started, or if you need help we can assist to get it started.
*Since Dell PS normally does the Deployments, some references provided in this discussion may not be visible to all.
First, here is a reference to help with pre-deployment preparation:
Please ensure you have run Network Validation Tool (NVT) before beginning deployment.
https://support.emc.com/kb/522703
This Discussion will be focused more on Deployment failures (Support team) rather than planning and preparation before Deployment (PS team).
We will be adding to this, but here is a start for DP4400...

To be continued.....
We welcome questions and contributions from all.
