Data Domain: DD6300 may experience disk temperature warnings from SSD installed in the PCI slots on the rear of the appliance.

Summary: Disk (SSD) temperature warnings, from slots 1.13 and 1.14 , may post and clear when the disk warms enough to enter the warning temperature threshold. SSD disks can safely operate to 60 degrees Celsius and thus temperature warnings below the 60 degree Celsius threshold can be safely ignored. ...

Symptoms

Verify all temperatures are all within safe limits, and that all the DD6300 hardware is functional and error free.  After verifying all the hardware is in a good state, we can safely ignore the unnecessary disk temperature warnings.

Cause

The root of the problem is that these SSD, in the rear of the appliance are utilizing thresholds which are tailored for disks, which are installed in the front of the appliance. 
This is software problem, and the long term resolution will be to change the thresholds, to a more appropriate value, for SSD in the rear of the DD6300.
This has been fixed in code version 6.0.2.20  & 6.1.1.10  and all numerically higher versions.
If you are not able to upgrade the OS to a fixed version, please contact Data Domain Support to apply a registry key which will disable the disk temperature condition from sending unnecessary alerts.

Resolution

The fix for this issue will be checked into the below code releases and all subsequent higher versions of DDOS
