PowerProtect Data Domain All-Flash Ready Node

This document highlights minimum, recommended, and latest code versions for Dell Technologies Enterprise and Datacenter Infrastructure products. We carefully evaluate and monitor code deployment data to ensure that product releases meet our stringent expectations to provide our customers with reliable products and solutions.

This article explains the cause and resolution of alerts related to the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), also known as iDRAC on Dell PowerEdge-based platforms. The BMC is an embedded controller that monitors system health parameters such as temperature, fan speeds, power status, and voltage. When the BMC becomes unresponsive or fails, the Data Domain system generates an alert.

A host certificate allows DD Boost client programs to verify the identity of the system when establishing a connection. CA certificates identify certificate authorities that the system should trust. The topics in this section describe how to manage host and CA certificates for DD Boost.

This article is created to provide commands on how to configure physical interfaces through command-line interface (CLI) on the Data Domain.

The hardening process is twofold. Traditionally, customers that are looking to harden a system are doing so because they are either under mandate, or are practicing secure computing practices. These tables provide both the hardening procedures and the mitigation steps to comply with federal Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation UIdes (STIGs) on the device. The information in this guide is related to our latest DDOS release 7.10.

Configure the management interface during initial system setup before configuring the interfaces for user traffic. You must configure at least one physical interface before the system can connect to a network.

This kb provides best practices and configuration guidelines for applications with the Data Domain DD Boost File System Plug-In (BoostFS). In addition, the kb contains insights and tips on how the application should be configured to maximize all the benefits of BoostFS. MongoDB Operation Manager (OpsMgr) is the only tool that provides consistent enterprise backups across a sharded cluster, and will consolidate backups of all shards into one location. From this location, Operations Manager moves the snapshot to Data Domain through the DD Boost file system plug-in.

Create a new Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) interface from either a physical interface or a bonded interface. An IP alias assigns an additional IP address to a physical interface, a bonded interface, or a VLAN.

DD HA node rebooted after panic or issue; failover occurred but interconnect and veth alias interface did not come up on alternate node.

The organization’s security team requires disabling password-based logins, which may include Active Directory integration and users using PIV cards.

Due to a software issue within DDOS (8.3.0.0), a daily disk failure is reported on external storage attached to systems running Protection Pool RAID (e.g DD6400)

A NetWorker VMware Protection (NVP) Virtual Machine (VM) File Level Restore (FLR) fails to mount. Instant Access restore may also fail. The error logging returns that the vProxy failed to log in in to the Data Domain because the REST service on the Data Domain is disabled.

Cloud tier cleaning will not start a quota limit that the ECS admin controls has been reached

NetBackup restores failing due to a changed SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_DISK to 1048576 (1MB) (or a value that is similar)

Interface groups can be used to control the interfaces used for DD Boost MFR, to direct the replication connection over a specific network, and to use multiple network interfaces with high bandwidth and reliability for failover conditions. All protection system IP types are supported—IPv4 or IPv6, Alias IP/VLAN IP, and LACP/failover aggregation.

Introduced in DDOS 7.5 and DDMC in 7.11, multifactor authentication adds an extra layer of security on the protection system. It requires the security officer and system administrator to enter an RSA SecurID passcode before certain destructive commands or configuration changes are allowed. The Multifactor Authentication panel allows the user to configure, enable, and disable multifactor authentication.

Data Domain - /data/col1/backup MTree is the default MTree that has been created for backward compatibility to older DDOS versions and is not allowed to be deleted.

When using failover bonding, the standby interface has many dropped packets. This is expected since the standby interface is not active.

DDOS can diagnose authentication issues for Active Directory from within the DD System Manager interface.

This article explains how to create a DD Boost Protocol Storage Unit using either UI or CLI.

About interface groups: This feature lets you combine multiple Ethernet links into a group and register only one interface on the protection system with the backup application. The DD Boost Library negotiates with the system to obtain the best interface to send data. Load balancing provides higher physical throughput to the system. Configuring an interface group creates a private network within the system, consisted of the IP addresses designated as a group. Clients are assigned to a single group, and the group interface uses load balancing to improve data transfer performance and increase reliability.

This issue is not caused by Data Mover itself. It occurs due to NFSv4 identity-mapping behavior on the client side.

This article describes the purpose of the Domain Name System (DNS) alert "Unable to communicate with configured DNS" on Data Domain operating system 5.5 and later.

DDBOOST_USER' does not have sufficient access rights is seen from NetWorker side even though DDBOOST user is working fine from DD side and also if you tried to change PW, assign new Storage Unit it encounters same error "DDBOOST_USER' does not have sufficient access rights"

On DDOS versions 7.10, 7.13, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3.0.x Data Domain (DD) systems with drive firmware updates enabled may encounter unexpected, false disk failures. Specifically, two devices per Disk Group (DG) can transition to a failed state due to a RAID module reference count issue in the kernel. This can lead to system instability and potential data availability risks.

This article addresses potential communication issues between PowerProtect Data Manager (error code ADS0005) and Data Domain during discovery jobs, focusing on MTU mismatches.
