Most Data Domain systems support the hot addition of expansion shelves. Some models
support six or more expansion shelves, with as many as 24 shelves in the case of Global
Deduplication Array and Data Domain Archiver systems. These large capacity systems
require additional planning and resources for installation.
Here are some general requirements for a large capacity installation:
The physical rack height requirement is often 40U or greater. 2U or 4U is needed for the
Data Domain controller, depending on model, while 3U is needed for each expansion
shelf.
If necessary, installation may be split across more than one rack, but will require advance
site-specific planning to determine appropriate SAS or interconnect cable lengths.
Whenever possible, grouping shelves in logical sets within contiguous rack spaces will
simplify the shelf-to-shelf SAS cabling.
The logical spacing of the shelves are divided into 3 or more Shelf Sets, labeled 1, 2, and
3, and so forth. The shelf order should alternate between shelf sets as seen in the
diagram.
The three recommended cable lengths for connection among expansion shelves and the
controller are 0.5, 1.0. and 2.0 meter cables. Use 1 meter and 2 meter head-to-shelf and
meter shelf-to-shelf.
Tip:
To allow for simple, predictable upgrades, if the site expects further expansion of storage
capacity in the future, plan ahead by leaving space in the rack for additional shelves
based on the maximum amount of expected storage.

Some newer Data Domain models come with rack slides pre-installed on the chassis, fastened with pop-rivets. This greatly simplifies
the procedure for completing the installation. In that case, you can skip this step. For units that do not ship with preinstalled rack

For the initial configuration make sure that you have the following information on hand during the

procedure:
Login default password. This value is the Data Domain systems serial number, located on its rear
panel. The DataDomainsystemdefaultusernameissysadmin whilethedefaultpasswordisthe
serialnumber.Theserialnumberlocatedonthebackpanelandshouldbea10digitnumber.
Initial configuration also requires a fully qualified hostname for the Data Domain system. You should also have Site
domain name, and any licenses for the site.
Very rarely a site might require use of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If this is the case, youll need
to know the port on the switch for DHCP.
If you are not using DHCP, determine the values you need to enter during the configuration procedure:
Interface IP addresses
Interface netmasks
Routing gateway IP address
If using DNS, the list of DNS servers.
If the information is available at initial configuration,

configuration you should also note CIFS authentication
details, and backup server and administrator details. Best practice is to have a separate
domain administrator account and password. For the backup servers, note that the
configuration default uses the asterisk to allow everyone in facility to write to the backup.
This could be a security violation at the site. In most cases, you should specify which hosts
are permitted. Space is also provided for a description of the physical location of the system.
The location should be descriptive enough to allow support to quickly identify the system, for

Bringing the expansion shelves online involves a number of steps

steps. First check the status of the
HBA by running the disk port show summary command. The status is online if the connection is
established between the data domain system and the expansion shelf. The output shows the port
for each sass connection the online status which is off-line at first. To verify that the data domain
system recognizes the shelves run the enclosure show summary command. This command shows
each recognized enclosure ID data domain system model number serial number and slot
capacity. To make each disk enclosure available to the data domain system run the storage add
enclosure command with the enclosure ID
ID. In this case we

ll add enclosure two.
two Note the disks
cannot be removed from the filesystem without reinstalling the DD OS after they've been added.
To verify the enclosure availability in space you can run the disk show state command or the DF
command. The DF command shows the capacity of the system. It should increase after adding an
expansion shelf.

Following initial system configuration

configuration, you can perform additional configuration tasks as
described in this module.
In this module you'll learn how to:
Use the Enterprise Manager for additional configuration
configure remote management through IPMI and SOL
verify the installation according to the customer requirements
perform basic configuration of the data domain Archiver system
and get started with data domain GDA system configuration
After the initial configuration

g
of a new site using
g the CLI Wizard allowing
g basic connectivityy on a LAN,, you
y
can then perform additional configuration and system management tasks through a web browser
anywhere on the LAN using the Enterprise Manager.
To access the system using Enterprise Manager, open web browser and type the host name. Login to the
Enterprise Manager using the administrative username and password entered during initial configuration
with the CLI Wizard. On the left-hand side of the Enterprise Manager expand the network and select the
system you want to manage as a follow-up to your initial configuration of the system.
You may want to perform a number of simple tasks to complete the work. For example, under system
settings, you'll find licenses. You may want to confirm here that all licenses for the installation have been
added If a license was missed during the initial configuration or additional time and research was
added.
required to acquire license information, you can enter it here by clicking Add New License, and then simply
type in the license key and click OK. Under the Access Management tab, you can expand options for
management of the system providing access to various protocols. If any of this information was passed
over during the initial configuration you can add it here.
Click more tasks and one of these options:
Configure Telnet allows you to enable telnet and then determine the type of access you would like. For
limited access, you can add specific hosts by clicking the plus icon and typing in the name of the host and
then click okay. A similar configuration is available for FTP access, HTTP and secure HTTP, and SSH. And
you can also modify the password policy.
policy
You can also add new users to the system if after initial configuration you received additional information
about users. You can also modify and change passwords for existing users. To create a new user, click
create and add the user information.
Under the Data Management tab, you can perform additional CIFS configuration and NFS configuration if
necessary following the CLI configuration Wizard, or, under the Maintenance tab, click the More Tasks
button and launch a GUI-based configuration Wizard. The configuration wizard in the Enterprise Manager
walks you through all of the same configuration tasks found in the CLI Wizard.

Under the Maintenance tab in the Enterprise Manager you can configure IPMI for remote

To configure IPMI you must configure network ports. For manual entry, enter the IP address and
net mask. For the systems configured for DHCP you can choose dynamic. You must also add a
user by clicking the Add User button, typing the username and password.

Before leaving the site it

it'ss good practice to verify the installation against the customer
requirements and the site requirements. Make sure that you verify licenses purchased for the
system and add any licenses that might be missing. The best practice is to send an auto support
report with the install status of the system. You can use the CLI commands shown to send an email and then verify receipt of that e-mail at the specified e-mail address. And perform one final
review of the installation checklist.
