To create a new non-admin user and a storage unit for an Oracle department on PowerProtect DD, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create the User 'DDBoostOracle'

Navigate to the User Management Section:

Look under Administration or Users in the sidebar (the exact location may vary by DD OS version).

Create New User:

Click on Add User or New User.

Enter Username: DDBoostOracle

Enter Password: Password123

Set Management Role to None.

Set Password Aging Policy:

Set Minimum Days: 0

Set Maximum Days: 180

Set Warn Days: 15

Assign the User to DD Boost Users Group:

Locate the option to assign the user to groups and select the ddboost users group.

Save User Configuration:

Confirm and save the settings to create the user.

Step 2: Create the Storage Unit 'SU_Oracle'

Navigate to DD Boost Protocol:

Go to Protocols > DD Boost in the sidebar.

Create a New Storage Unit:

Find Storage Units and select Add Storage Unit.

Name the storage unit as SU_Oracle.

Assign the User to the Storage Unit:

During the creation process or in the access settings of the storage unit, assign DDBoostOracle as the user with access.

Save Storage Unit Configuration:

Confirm and save the configuration to ensure that the new user has access to the storage unit.

This completes the setup for a non-admin user with the specified password aging policy and a dedicated storage unit for the Oracle department. Let me know if additional steps are needed!

To configure a new MTree with a specified path and size limit in PowerProtect DD, follow these steps:

Step 1: Access the MTree Management Section

In the DD System Manager interface, locate Data Management in the sidebar.

Select MTree from the dropdown menu to manage MTrees.

Step 2: Create a New MTree

Click on Create MTree or Add MTree (the exact button label may vary).

Set the Path for the MTree as /data/col1/oracle.

Step 3: Set the MTree Size Limit

In the MTree creation dialog, look for an option to set a Quota or Size Limit for the MTree.

Set the Size Limit to 200 TiB to ensure the MTree does not exceed this capacity.

Step 4: Save the Configuration

Confirm and save your settings to create the MTree with the specified path and size restriction.

After these steps, you should have a new MTree at /data/col1/oracle with a maximum allowed size of 200 TiB. Let me know if further assistance is required!

To flash an LED on a hard drive and bring a disk back online using the DD System Manager or DDOS CLI, follow these general steps:

Step 1: Identify the Disk

In DD System Manager:

Go to the Hardware section in the sidebar.

Locate the list of disks, and find Disk 1.5 (the offline disk).

In DDOS CLI (if using CLI):

Use the command to list disks and confirm the status of Disk 1.5.

Command example: disk show state or disk show summary.

Step 2: Flash the LED on the Disk

In DD System Manager:

In the Hardware section, select Disk 1.5.

Look for an option like Flash LED or Locate Drive to help identify the physical disk.

Activate the LED flash to identify the disk physically.

In DDOS CLI:

Use the command: disk locate 1.5 to flash the LED for Disk 1.5.

Step 3: Bring the Disk Back Online

In DD System Manager:

After identifying the disk, check for options to Bring Online or Reactivate Disk 1.5.

Select the option to return the disk to operation.

In DDOS CLI:

Use the command: disk unfail 1.5 to bring the disk back online.

Step 4: Verify the Disk Status

Confirm in DD System Manager or by using the disk show state command in CLI that Disk 1.5 is now online and functioning.

After completing these steps, the LED should flash to help locate the disk physically, and then Disk 1.5 will be returned to an operational state. Let me know if you need further guidance!

PowerProtect DD High Availability configurations are supported on the DD9900 model with a single set of shared storage, ensuring redundancy and failover capabilities, critical for enterprise-level data protection environments.

PowerProtect DD High Availability (HA) configuration provides a continuous availability solution, particularly suited for DD9900 systems. Here are the two key attributes of DD HA:

Single Set of Shared Storage: In the HA configuration, both nodes in the active/standby configuration share the same set of storage. This shared storage ensures that if the active node fails, the standby node can take over without data loss, accessing the same storage seamlessly.

Supported Only on DD9900 Systems: The HA feature is exclusive to high-end PowerProtect DD models, specifically the DD9900. This limitation is due to the hardware requirements needed to support the robust failover and data redundancy capabilities inherent in an HA setup.

Best practice for Fibre Channel zoning with PowerProtect DD is to use single-initiator single-target zoning, which enhances security and stability in data transfer by isolating connections between devices, minimizing potential interference.

The DD Boost plug-in must be installed on each media server to enable optimized data deduplication and efficient data transfer, especially for applications that do not natively support DD Boost integration.

A small TCP window size can restrict data throughput, leading to suboptimal performance in CIFS-based file transfers. Adjusting the TCP window size can help maximize network bandwidth utilization and improve transfer speeds.

The ddboost storage-unit create <storage_unit> command is used to create a storage unit specifically for DD Boost-enabled backups, facilitating direct backup operations with PowerProtect DD.

PowerProtect DD's VTL functionality is compatible with major backup applications like IBM Spectrum Protect, Dell Networker, and Veritas NetBackup. These integrations enhance the data protection and recovery capabilities by supporting virtual tape operations.
