Introduction
The main differences between Data Domain systems are the throughput and the amount of data
storage capacity. Data Domain Gateway systems store data on external disk arrays through a Fibre
Channel connection.
Note For information about more recent Data Domain system models, refer to the model-specific
Installation and Setup Guide and Hardware Overview documents. Visit
https://my.datadomain.com to see the latest documentation.
For information about the Data Domain ES20 expansion shelf, see the separate document, Data
Domain Expansion Shelf Hardware Guide.
Table 1 on page 12 lists the capacities of the Data Domain systems. Data Domain system internal
indexes and other product components use variable amounts of storage, depending on the type of
data and the sizes of files. If you send different data sets to otherwise identical systems, one system
may, over time, have room for more or less actual backup data than another.
Note Data Domain system commands compute and display amounts of disk space or data as
decimal multiples of certain powers of two (210, 220, 230, and so forth). For example, 7 GiB
of disk space = 7 x 230 bytes = 7 x 1,073,741,824 bytes. Data Domain refers to this process
as base 2 calculation.

The site requirements for installing Data Domain systems differ according to model.
Note If the NVRAM card in your Data Domain system has fully charged batteries, the system
starts up normally. In most systems, however, the batteries need to be charged to ensure they
are either at or near maximum capacity.

Power Considerations
Caution Ensure that the circuit used for the Data Domain system is not overloaded. Look for the
power ratings on the nameplates of all equipment on the circuit. The total load on the
circuit should not exceed the maximum circuit rating.

External Connectivity
External Connectivity
For configuration and administrative tasks, you need a serial console, or an Ethernet connection, or
a keyboard and monitor.
All systems have two copper Ethernet connections on the motherboard. These can be used for
system management and for data transfer to and from servers. Optional additional interfaces are
available for all models except the DD120. For an Ethernet connection, you can configure different
network interfaces on a Data Domain system to different subnets. However, if the Data Domain
software version is prior to DD OS 4.5, you must not link multiple interfaces to the same LAN or
VLAN in the network.
Proper connectivity requires that you must use the proper cable and connector types.
If the Data Domain system uses fiber gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the cables and connecting
ports on the other end must be SX compatible.
If the Data Domain system uses copper gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the cables and connecting
ports on the other end must be RJ45 compatible.
If the Data Domain system uses copper 10 gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the cables and
connecting ports on the other end must be copper 10GbE CX4 compatible.
If the Data Domain system uses optical 10 gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the cables and
connecting ports on the other end must be optical 10GbE LC compatible.
All Data Domain systems except the DD120 support Fibre Channel VTL connectivity for data
transfer to and from backup servers.
22
If the Data Domain system uses optical 2 gigabit Fibre Channel interfaces, the cables and
connecting ports on the other end must be optical 2Gb FC LC compatible.
If the Data Domain system uses optical 4 gigabit Fibre Channel interfaces, the cables and
connecting ports on the other end must be optical 4Gb FC LC compatible.
The following PCI cards are available with use in Data Domain Systems.
Dual port 2Gb Fibre Channel PCI-X HBA for Gateway Storage
Dual port 4Gb Fibre Channel PCIe HBA for Gateway Storage (requires DD OS 4.5 or later)

When the first optional NIC is in slot 5, adding a second NIC card will cause the port numbers to be
changed, except when the first NIC is 1GbE and the second NIC is 10GbE. If the first optional NIC
is in slot 6, adding a second optional NIC in slot 5 will cause the port names to be changed only if
the first NIC is 10GbE and the second NIC is 1GbE.

Data Domain Gateway systems store data in and restore data from externally attached disk arrays
through Fibre Channel connections. The Data Domain Gateway systems are DD460g, DD560g,
and DD580g. A Data Domain Gateway system has the same chassis and CPUs as a DD460,
DD560, or DD580 system. See the corresponding chapters for additional information.
Multiple Data Domain Gateway systems can access storage on a single storage array.

Supported Connectivity
Data Domain Gateway systems store data in and restore data from externally attached disk arrays
through Fibre Channel connections. Currently, the Data Domain Gateway systems support the
following types of connectivity:
See the Gateway Compatibility Matrix on the Data Domain Support web site for the latest updates
of certified storage arrays, storage firmware, and SAN topology.
30
Hardware Interfaces
External Disks
The external physical disks that provide storage to the gateway should be dedicated to the gateway
and not shared with other hosts.
A volume on the gateway system may use any of the disk types supported on the disk array.
However, only one disk type can be used for all Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) in the volume to
assure equal performance for all LUNs.
All disks in the LUNs must be like drives in identical RAID configurations.
Replication
For replication between a Data Domain Gateway system and other model Data Domain systems,
the total amount of storage to be replicated on the originator must not exceed the total amount of
storage on the destination.
Replication between Data Domain Gateway systems must use storage arrays with similar
performance characteristics. The size of destination storage must be equal to or greater than the size
of source storage. Configurations do not need to be identical.

Note To add more LUNs after the New Install procedure, use the disk add command.
34
If the Data Domain system is in a switch zone, the zone may not have the correct WWNs for
the ports on the card. You can get the WWNs from the name server for the switch. The name
server logs the WWN of all attempted logins. If switch zoning is the problem, update zoning
with the new WWNs and boot the Data Domain system again.

DD120 Systems
The Data Domain DD120 system uses the same operating system as used in other Data Domain
systems. Setting up the system and using DD OS features, such as replication, are done in the same
way as with other Data Domain systems. See Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation for additional
information on each system.

Hardware Overview
Back Panel
The back panel is where you connect to a DD120 system with a serial console, a monitor and
keyboard, or through an Ethernet connection. See Figure 11. The Ethernet interfaces eth0 and eth1
are for data transfer to the system or for administrative access over a network. Both Ethernet
interfaces are 1000 Base-T Gigabit copper ports that can accept 10/100 Base-T or Gigabit
connections.
Eth0 and eth1 each have two LEDs, one on each side of the port. When the LED on the left side is
dark, the port has no active connection. When the LED on the left is green, the connection speed is
10/100 Base-T. When the LED on the left is amber, the connection speed is 1000 Base-T gigabit.
The LED on the right flashes amber when the connection is active with network traffic.

Note Illustrations of Data Domain system front panels in this document do not include the
protective bezel.
To install a DD120 Data Domain system:
1. Complete all site preparation as described in Power and Weight Specifications on page 18.
2. Set up the rack-mounting hardware. See the slide rail and rack installation instructions in the
slide rail package that is in the DD120 shipping box.
3. Attach the rack handles to each side of the DD120 face plate.
4. To use DHCP with Ethernet interfaces:
-
Configure the DHCP server with the appropriate Data Domain system information.
The alternative to DHCP is to use a serial console or a keyboard and monitor. Use a serial
console or a monitor and keyboard if you are not using an Ethernet interface for configuration.
5. Mount the DD120 in a 1U space in a 19-inch, four-post rack using the following procedure.
Use the slide rails provided. Any other means of mounting the Data Domain system must be
rated for at least 23 pounds (11 kilograms). Do NOT install a DD120 in a two-post rack.
a. Attach a rack handle to each side of the DD120 face plate. See Figure 12. The rack
handles and screws are in the plastic bag of miscellaneous parts.
b. Open the slide rails package that ships with the Data Domain system.
c. Use the slide rail instructions to mount the inner rails onto the Data Domain system and
mount the outer rails onto the rack.
42
Installation
d. Slide the Data Domain system all the way into the rack.
6. Determine whether your configuration and ongoing administration access for the Data Domain
system is to be through an Ethernet connection, a serial console, or a monitor and keyboard.
Then perform the appropriate substep.
-
For an Ethernet connection, attach an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet interfaces, eth0
or eth1 on the back panel. See Figure 13 for Ethernet interface locations.
For a serial console, attach an RS232 null modem cable to the serial port on the back

DHCP Server
DHCP Server
If one or more of the Ethernet interfaces are to use DHCP, the DHCP server needs MAC addresses
for the interfaces and a hostname for the Data Domain system. Data Domain recommends
configuring infinite lease IP addresses for the Data Domain system interfaces. Not all of the
interfaces need to use DHCP.
If you set an interface to use DHCP and DHCP is not yet available to the interface, the Data
Domain system attempts to set up the interface without DHCP until DHCP is available. Use the
net show settings command to display which interfaces are configured for DHCP.
The eth0 and eth1 Ethernet interfaces on the back of the Data Domain system (see Figure 13 on
page 43) are each labeled with a MAC address. Eth0 and eth1 are copper 1000 Base-T gigabit
interfaces.
44
The Data Domain DD580, DD580g, DD565, DD530, and DD510 systems use the same operating
system as used in other Data Domain systems. Setting up the system and using DD OS features are
done in the same way as with other Data Domain systems.
Data Domain DD580, DD580g, DD565, DD530, and DD510 systems share the same base
motherboard in the chassis. References to a Data Domain system in this section apply to all DD580,
DD565, DD530, and DD510 systems. See Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation for additional
information on each system.
Note Data Domain Gateway Systemscontains instructions for installing and configuring Data

and ready for backups. For site requirements, see Power and Weight Specifications on page 18.
Note Data Domain Gateway Systemscontains instructions for installing and configuring a Data
Domain Gateway system (for example, a DD460g system).
To use DHCP with Ethernet interfaces, configure the DHCP server with the appropriate Data
Domain system information. To configure a Data Domain system using an Ethernet interface,
DHCP information is required for at least one interface. The alternative is to use a serial
console or a keyboard and monitor. See DHCP Server on page 74 for more details.
Set up a serial console or a monitor and keyboard if you are not using an Ethernet interface for
configuration.
Caution The two side brackets on the systems front faceplate (see Figure 33 on page 73) cannot
support the weight of the system in a rack. Support the system with the slide rails that
are delivered with the system.
1. Mount the system in a 3U space in a 19-inch, four-post rack using the slide rails provided by
Data Domain. Any other means of mounting the system must be rated for at least 100 pounds
(45 kilograms). Do not install a system in a two-post rack.
a. Open the slide rails package that ships with the system.
b. Using the slide rail instruction and rack template documents that are included with other
system documentation, mount the inner rails onto the system.
71
Installation
Note The slide rails can accommodate a front-to-back rail depth of 28 inches (710 mm) to 33.67
inches (855 mm).
c. Mount the outer rails onto the rack.
d. Slide the system into the rails that are in the rack.
e. Remove the thin, clear plastic wrap that covers the top panel of the system and the clear
plastic tape that covers the top and bottom surfaces of the trim around the front of the
chassis.
f.
2. Determine whether your configuration and ongoing administration access for the system is to
be through an Ethernet connection, a serial console, or a monitor and keyboard.
-
For an Ethernet connection, attach an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet interfaces,
eth0, eth1, or if available, eth2, or eth3 on the back panel. See Figure 34 on page 74 for
Ethernet interface locations.
For a serial console, attach an RS232 null modem cable to the DB9 port (labeled Console
Port) on the back panel. See Figure 31. Use the console communication settings of: 9600
baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
For a monitor and keyboard, attach the monitor to the port labeled VGA and the keyboard
to the port nearest the keyboard icon. See Figure 31 for locations.
Keyboard port
3. For backup and restore communications to and from the Data Domain system, attach at least
one Ethernet cable to an Ethernet interface or a Fibre Channel cable to a VTL HBA port on the
back panel. See System Card Interface on page 68 for interface locations.
72
Installation
4. Attach the power cords to the three power supplies. See Figure 32.
5. Plug in the three power cords to a power source. A minimum of two active power supplies are
required for reliable operation.
Note If you are powering up expansion shelves as well, wait a few minutes before powering up
the system
6. Start the system. Push the power button (the top button) on the right-side control panel on the
front of the system. See Figure 33 for the location.

DHCP Server
DHCP Server
If one or more of the Data Domain system Ethernet interfaces is to use DHCP, the DHCP server
needs MAC addresses for the interfaces and a hostname for the Data Domain system. Data Domain
recommends configuring infinite lease IP addresses for the Data Domain system interfaces. All of
the interfaces do not need to use DHCP.
If you set an interface to use DHCP and DHCP is not yet available to the interface, the Data
Domain system attempts to set up the interface without DHCP until DHCP is available. Use the
net show settings command to display which interfaces are configured for DHCP.
The eth0 and eth1 Ethernet interfaces on the back of the Data Domain system are each labeled with
a MAC address. Eth0 and eth1 are copper 1000 Base-T gigabit interfaces. The optional eth2 and
eth3 are for additional fiber or copper Ethernet interfaces. See Figure 34 for ethernet interface
locations.
