Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Enter management credentials for the Data Domain resource (instant recovery and User mode file-level restore only)

Before you perform an instant recovery of a virtual machine or file-level restore (User mode), ensure that you provide the management credentials for the Data Domain resource. For instant recovery, these credentials are required when performing the recovery using the NMC Recover wizard or the VM Backup and Recovery interface in the vSphere Client.

1. In the NMC Administration window, click Devices.
   The Devices window displays.
2. In the expanded left navigation pane, select Data Domain Systems.
3. In the right details pane, right-click the Data Domain system, and then select Properties.
   The NSR Data Domain Properties window displays.

   

4. In the Access pane, type the management credentials.
   1. In the Management host field, specify the hostname of the Data Domain system that is used for management commands.
   2. In the Management user field, specify the username for a Data Domain user that has admin access. For example, sysadmin. The Management user should have Data Domain administrator privileges.
   3. In the Management password field, specify the password of the management user.
   4. In the Management port field, specify the management port. By default, the port is 3009.
   NOTE:The NetWorker and Data Domain Boost Integration Guide provides information about the Cloud unit field and use of the Cloud tier device.
5. If required, in the Configuration pane, update the export path. It is recommended that you leave this field blank, which sets the export path to the default path. The short name of the NetWorker server is the default path.
   If you do type a path in this field, ensure that the path has NFS permissions. When you log in to the Data Domain resource, browse to the NFS section and add the MTree device path (the path to the NetWorker backup device) as a valid NFS path.
6. To save the changes, click OK.
