DD OS 4.7
Quick Start Guide
The steps for a complete installation and configuration are:
1. Install the hardware.
2. Define the Data Domain system information for your site.
3. Perform the initial system configuration.
4. Set up DHCP if desired.
5. Configure software.
6. Test network connections.
7. NFS mount directories (for NFS-based backup servers) and configure
backup software.
8. When connecting from CIFS servers, set up user accounts and
authentication on the CIFS server, and set up backup software.
9. Configure backup software for VTL or OST data access.
10. Perform additional, optional system configuration.
1: Install Hardware
For installation details, refer to the Data Domain Hardware Guide.
•
Unpack the Data Domain system by opening the box and removing the
controller, accessories, and rack mount kit.
Install the appropriate rack mounting hardware. Fit the slide rails onto the
system and onto a 19-inch, four-post rack with 2-3U of space, depending on
the system. (See the slide rail instructions for your chassis type.)
Fit the system into the rack.
For system management, attach a serial console to the console port, or an
Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port (DHCP required), or use a monitor (VGA
port) and keyboard (port with keyboard icon).
For data transfer, attach an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port.
For VTL data transfer, attach a fiber cable to the VTL card port.
Plug the power cords into the system and then to a power source.
Push the power button and wait approximately three minutes.

12. Administrator's email address (or admin group alias):
13. A description of the system's physical location (optional):
14. Mail server (SMTP) host name:
15. Time zone name (default is US/Pacific):
3: Perform Initial System Configuration
For detailed instructions, refer to the DD OS 4.7 Initial Configuration Guide.
Note: The Configuration Wizard performs an “initial” configuration—it
does not cover all configuration options, it only configures what is needed
for initial setup. After initial configuration, you can use the Enterprise
Manager or individual CLI commands to change or update the
configuration.
Log onto the system with the user name of sysadmin. The password is
the system’s serial number. A Configuration Wizard is provided containing
six sections: Licenses, Network, File System, System, CIFS, and NFS.
You can configure the system via either the Data Domain Enterprise Manager
(recommended) or the command-line interface (CLI). The Enterprise Manager
is a Web-based, graphical-user interface (GUI) application.
Note: The Data Domain system must have an IP address to use the
Enterprise Manager. The system must be able to communicate with the
Internet.
To use the Enterprise Manager, open a web browser and enter the path to
the Data Domain system; for example, enter http://dd01/ where dd01 is
the system name.
2
Select your system in the Navigational pane, then select Maintenance > System.
From the Tasks menu, select Launch Configuration Wizard. Select one of the
configuration sections and follow the instructions on the
screen. Complete each of the six sections.
To use the CLI, a configuration utility starts at the first login. The list entries in
the utility can be separated by commas, spaces, or both. At each prompt:
• Enter a value, OR
• Enter a question mark (?) for more details, OR
• Press Enter to accept the value displayed in braces.
The Configuration Wizard guides you through the configuration steps, one
section at a time. Follow the instructions on the Configuration Wizard for
entering appropriate values.
At the end of each configuration section, you can choose to:
• Save – Save the displayed configuration.
• Cancel – Delete all new values and go to the next section.
• Retry – Restart input entry at the beginning of the current section.
4: Configure the System for Data Access
Data Domain system provides multiple protocols for data access: NFS, CIFS,
VTL, and OST (OpenStorage). You need to configure one or more protocols for
data access depending on your environment. You also need to configure the
clients for accessing the Data Domain system on the protocol of your choice.
NFS
An NFS-based backup server needs to mount system directories using NFS. On
the backup server:
• Create a mount point (directory) such as /dd/rstr01/backup, and
create an administrative mount point such as /dd/rstr01/ddvar.
• NFS mount the directories on the new mount points. For example:
mount -F nfs -o
hard,intr,vers=3,proto=tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768
rstr01:/backup /dd/rstr01/backup
mount -F nfs -o
hard,intr,vers=3,proto=tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768
rstr01:/ddvar /dd/rstr01/ddvar
•
Add the following lines to the file /etc/vfstab (the file name may be
different depending on your UNIX-based system). The lines mount the
directories at every reboot. For example:
system:/backup - /dd/rstr01/backup nfs - yes
hard,intr,vers=3,proto=tcp, rsize=32768,wsize=32768
system:/ddvar - /dd/rstr01/ddvar nfs - yes
hard,intr,vers=3,proto=tcp, rsize=32768,wsize=32768
•
•
To cause backup software to abort when the system is not mounted, create a
backup directory within the mounted file system, such as
/dd/rstr01/backup/disk1.
For additional configuration information, see the see the specific Data
Domain integration documentation for setting up backup software at
https://my.datadomain.com/documentation.
CIFS
The CIFS configuration section in “Perform Initial System Configuration”
allows setting up CIFS client to access /backup on the Data Domain system.
You need to setup CIFS clients as well to access /backup on the Data Domain
system. For additional configuration information, see the specific Data Domain
integration documentation at https://my.datadomain.com/US/en/integration.jsp.
3
VTL (Optional License Required)
For the VTL software option, see the Data Domain technical note Integrating
the Data Domain Appliance VTL with SANs.
See the specific Data Domain integration documentation for setting up backup
software from other vendors: https://my.datadomain.com/US/en/integration.jsp.
OpenStorage (Optional License Required)
For setting up the Data Domain OST feature, see the Data Domain
OpenStorage (OST) QuickStart Guide available at
https://my.datadomain.com/US/en/platform.jsp.
Application Integration
For information about integrating other applications with Data Domain
systems, see the “Data Domain Integration Documentation” section on the Data
Domain support Web site, https://my.datadomain.com/US/en/integration.jsp.
5: Configure Optional Software
If you purchased optional software for the Data Domain system such as
Replicator or Retention Lock, the licenses are enabled on your Data Domain
system prior to shipment. You need to configure them for use. Details on
configuring the optional software can be found at
https://my.datadomain.com/US/en/platform.jsp.
6: Perform Optional Additional System Configuration
Any system command that accepts a list, such as a list of IP addresses, accepts
entries separated by commas, spaces, or both. See the DD OS 4.7 Command
Reference Guide or online help for command details.
The following commands can be used to perform additional configuration.
Give access to additional backup servers:
# nfs add /backup {*|client-list}
[options]
Add users to the email list that reports system problems:
# alerts add email-list
Add users to the system report email list:
# autosupport add email-list
From a remote machine, add an authorized SSH public key:
# ssh-keygen -d
# ssh -l sysadmin rstr01 "adminaccess add ssh-keys"\
< ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
Enable FTP or TELNET (SSH is enabled by default):
# adminaccess enable {ftp|telnet|ssh}
Add remote hosts to use FTP or Telnet:
# adminaccess add {ftp|telnet}
fqdn-host-list
Add a user:
# user add name [priv {admin|user}]
Change a user’s password:
# user change password username
To Shut Down the System
Use the command:
# system poweroff
Do not simply turn off the power.
