PowerProtect Data Manager 19.16 for 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.

1. If your deployment is running CyberSense version 8.2 or later, go to the following step. Otherwise, go to step 5.
2. From Cyber Recovery, 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.
3. Use SSH to access the CyberSense host.
4. Perform the following steps:
   1. List existing storage IDs previously configured on the CyberSense host by running the ddcfg GET command. The following example shows the output for a deployment running CyberSense version 8.3:

      [root@sys123 ~]# ddcfg GET
      
      # +++ S/N AUDVEN8KK3DGBR active +++
      storageid: 63d94ae3f1ce505e645d1e5e
      ens161,10.1.1.1,10000=ethV0,10.1.1.11,10000
      ens192,10.1.1.2,10000=ethV1,10.1.1.12,10000
      ens224,10.1.1.3,10000=ehtV2,10.1.1.13,10000
      ddboost-ppdm-user
      ddboost-user

      NOTE:For a deployment running CyberSense version 8.2, the command provides output in JSON format.
   2. Add one or more DD Boost users by running either of the following commands. The second command prompts you for passwords.
      NOTE:

      • Prohibited characters in the DD Boost user password cause the multilink configuration to fail. Ensure that DD Boost user passwords do not include the following characters: {, }, [, ], ', ", or =.
      • 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

5. 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
