IDPA: How to find out if you have a DP4400 or DP4400s

With the introduction of DP4400s (small form factor) in the market, things can become complicated if you want to differentiate between DP4400 vs. DP4400s servers.
This article should assist you in identifying the system type.

For existing or configured system:

1. First, identify if you are on DP4400/DP4400s as there are other IDPA models as well. In order to do so, login to ACM using SSH/PUTTY and run the following command:

rpm -qa | grep -i dataprotection

If you see the output as dataprotection-2.4.1-xxxxx.x86_64, then the system can either be DP4400 or DP4400s. Proceed further to identify the exact model number.

2. Grep for the Model Name from the SKU configuration file with the following command:

grep 'Model Name="In' /usr/local/dataprotection/var/configmgr/server_data/skuconfig/selskuconfig.xml

If the output is <Model Name="Integrated Data Protection Appliance" Version="4400S">, then this is a DP4400s system.

If the output is <Model Name="Integrated Data Protection Appliance" Version="4400">, then this is a DP4400 regular system.

For unconfigured system:
For an unconfigured system, the first step is to ensure that you are using the DP4400x builds. Follow #1 from the aforementioned steps.
Then perform the below steps:

1. Log in to ESXi associated with the box using a SSH/PUTTY and run the command 'df -h'. If the ESXi has only one DDVE partition, it is a DP4400s otherwise, it is a DP4400.

   2. Log in to iDRAC UI for the ESXi and navigate to Storage tab, under storage select 'Virtual disk' and if you see a single RAID 6 virtual disk, then it is a DP4400s otherwise, it is a DP4400.
