Solved!
Go to SolutionHow to execute mkdir, cd command in engineering mode on data domain
#mkdir /ddr
# cd /ddr
# mkdir backup
# mkdir ddvar
Hi, I have gone into SE mode using pr se se and yet when I try to use the cd or mkdir, I still cannot do it.
What is the magic command here? I have checked the manuals, forums, etc and still cannot execute those commands.
Thank you!

Hi admingirl,
The backup and ddvar folders already exist on the filesystem. You can create CIFS/NFS shares to these locations and from there create additional subfolders. You can also create MTREEs that exist outside of the backup folder. Please see the DD OS 5.4 Admin Guide for more information.
Best Regards,

If it's not in the user guides - it's not supported.
DD is a solid and reliable product because you cannot/shouldn't "tinker" under the covers.
Everything you need to do, can be done in the native command sets - it's not just a normal server.
Dig too deep and you will invalidate your warranty and risk losing data - sorry...
Use the DD command reference guide for your specific DDOS to assist you - available on support.emc.com

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. What is your end goal here? Trying to manually create files or folders on the underlying filesystem is ill-advised.
