PowerProtect Data Manager 19.13 Cyber Recovery User Guide

Configuring DD Boost user information for CyberSense

If you add the CyberSense application to your deployment, configure the user information on the CyberSense host.

About this task

You must configure the DD Boost user on the CyberSense host to ensure:

  • The use of the DD Boost user while mounting the sandbox during the analysis process.
  • The ability to perform a connectivity test on a multilink object for CyberSense version 8.2 or later running on Cyber Recovery version 19.13 or later. If this DD Boost user is not configured, the multilink object is in the Inactive state and Analyze operations fail.

For the multilink feature:

  • On the CyberSense server, at least one DD Boost user must be configured for the DD that is associated with the multilink configuration.
  • You can associate additional DD Boost users for the same multilink configuration.

Steps

  1. Access the CyberSense host.
  2. If your deployment is running CyberSense version 8.2, perform the following steps. Otherwise, go to step 3.
    1. Identify the storageID for the DD system associated with the multilink configuration by performing one of the following steps:
      • Find the Storage ID field in the UI details panel by going to Assets- > Vault Storage > DD.
      • Find the Data Domain ID field in the crcli dd list output.
      • List existing storage IDs previously configured on the CyberSense host by running the following command:
        [root@sys123 ~]# ddcfg GET
        [
          {
            "links": [
              {
                "connectivity": "active",
                "csInterfaceIP": "10.1.1.1",
                "csInterfaceName": "ens161",
                "csInterfaceSpeed": 10000,
                "storageInterfaceIP": "10.1.1.11",
                "storageInterfaceName": "ethV0",
                "storageInterfaceSpeed": 10000,
                "storageSn": "AUDVEN8KK3DGBR"
              },
              {
                "connectivity": "active",
                "csInterfaceIP": "10.1.1.2",
                "csInterfaceName": "ens192",
                "csInterfaceSpeed": 10000,
                "storageInterfaceIP": "10.1.1.12",
                "storageInterfaceName": "ethV1",
                "storageInterfaceSpeed": 10000,
                "storageSn": "AUDVEN8KK3DGBR"
              },
              {
                "connectivity": "active",
                "csInterfaceIP": "10.1.1.3",
                "csInterfaceName": "ens224",
                "csInterfaceSpeed": 10000,
                "storageInterfaceIP": "10.1.1.13",
                "storageInterfaceName": "ethV2",
                "storageInterfaceSpeed": 10000,
                "storageSn": "AUDVEN8KK3DGBR"
              }
            ],
            "status": "active",
            "storageID": "63d94ae3f1ce505e645d1e5e",
            "users": [
              "ddboost-ppdm-user",
              "ddboost-user"
            ]
          }
        ]
        [root@sys123 ~]#
    2. Add one or more DD Boost users by running either of the following commands. The second command prompts you for passwords.
      NOTE: When adding another user, you must specify the entire set of users including any existing users. Otherwise, the existing users will be removed.
      •  # ddcfg PATCH <storage ID|Data Domain ID> existinguser1,pwd1 existinguser2,pwd2 newuser,pwd3
      • # ddcfg PATCH <storage ID|Data Domain ID> existinguser1 existinguser2 newuser
        password for ‘existinguser1’:
        password for 'existinguser2':
        password for ‘newuser’:
        
    3. Restart the dispatcher:
      # dservice dispatch restart
  3. If your deployment is running a version of CyberSense that is earlier than version 8.2, perform the following steps:
    1. Add one or more DD Boost users:
      # ddboostcfg add
    2. Enter the DD host IP address, username, and password:
      Enter hostname, username, and password for each Data Domain host you 
      plan to connect to using DDBoost protocol. 
      Reply with Enter or Ctrl-D on the Host: prompt to finish
      Host: <host name>
      Username: <username>
      Password: <password>
      NOTE: For multilink configuration, enter any of the available DD interfaces that you plan to use to define an interface link.
    3. Restart the dispatcher:
      # dservice dispatch restart
