EMC DD Boost Compatibility Guide

EMC Data Domain Boost Compatibility Guide

Compatibility with Future Patch and Maintenance Versions of Applications Future patch and maintenance versions of the applications listed in this document are expected to be compatible with the DD OS versions listed in the tables for each application. Specifically, this implies that EMC Data Domain may not necessarily test or qualify a future version of the application and does not guarantee ongoing compatibility. The application, including future versions, will be ed by EMC Data Domain; troubleshooting and analysis will take place until EMC Data Domain determines that the cause of the problem is a change in a future version. At this point, EMC Data Domain reserves the right to request a downgrade to a known, working solution. Do not assume that new features or work flows that come with new patch or maintenance versions are compatible with EMC Data Domain unless specifically identified as such.

Managed File Replication Version Compatibility Policy DD Boost s bidirectional managed file replication as follows. You can implement bidirectional file replication between Data Domain source and destination systems that are within two release families of each other, so long as the DD Boost plug-in version used is compatible with both the source and destination DD OS versions. The DD Boost plug-in is compatible with the DD OS version it accompanies, the preceding DD OS version, and the following DD OS version. This table illustrates the compatibility: Table 1 DD Boost Plug-in and DD OS Versions

For example, the DD Boost 2.3.x plug-in is compatible with DD OS versions 4.9.x, 5.0.x, and 5.1.x. Therefore, when you use the DD Boost 2.3.x plug-in, you can implement bidirectional managed file replication between Data Domain systems running DD OS 4.9.x and DD OS 5.1.x. But you cannot implement bidirectional managed file replication between Data Domain systems running DD OS 5.0.x and DD OS 5.2.x or between systems running DD OS 5.0.x and DD OS 4.8.x because the DD Boost 2.3.x plug-in is not compatible with DD OS 5.2.x or 4.8.x according to the compatibility policy.

How to Use the Tables in this Document Perform the following procedure to determine which versions of third party applications and components are compatible with specific EMC Data Domain Operating System (DD OS) versions and to obtain additional information needed to determine compatibility of a desired configuration. Compatibility with Future Patch and Maintenance Versions of Applications

Compatibility Guide

Procedure 1. Find the table for the desired application and version in the application tables. 2. that an entry exists for the desired operating system version and U architecture (platform) in the table. 3. Ensure the Data Domain system is running at the specified DD OS version in the DD OS column and the specified DD Boost version in the DD Boost column.

EMC NetWorker Notes u

The virtual synthetic full backup and clone feature in NetWorker 8.1 requires DD OS version 5.3 or later.

u

The Data Domain Boost libraries are included in the NetWorker software. Once NetWorker 7.6.1 or higher is installed, all the necessary DD Boost components are also installed.

u

for backups over WAN may be possible in certain configurations. If you are interested in such , you can submit a request for product qualification (RPQ). Please your EMC Backup Recovery Systems sales representative for more information.

u

NetWorker Module for Microsoft (NMM) version 2.3 s Direct File Access (DFA) with NetWorker Data Domain Boost devices, which enables backup data to by the storage node and go directly to the Data Domain System. Please see the NetWorker compatibility matrix for specific details.

u

EMC Data Domain does not test all IBM POWER-based server models and relies on the IBM AIX 5L Version 5 binary compatibility statement; see http://www-03.ibm.com/ systems/power/software/aix/compatibility/index.html for more information. EMC NetWorker 7.6.1

Virtual synthetics in NBU requires DD OS 5.4 or later.

l

AIR in NBU (7.6 pr later) requires DD OS 5.4 or later.

l

Accelerator in NBU (7.6 or later) requires DD OS 5.4 or later.

NBU versions 7.0.x, 7.1.x, and 7.5.x require the 64-bit OST plug-in, except on Windows 2003. On Windows 2003, the 32-bit OST plug-in must be used on a 32-bit



NBU installation and the 64- bit OST plug-in must be used on a 64-bit NBU installation. u

Encrypted managed file replication (optimized duplication) is ed with NBU and requires DD OS 5.0 or later on both source and destination Data Domain systems.

u

Data Domain Extended Retention software option is ed with NBU and requires OST plug-in 2.3.1 or later.

u

The use of virtual synthetics together with the Data Domain Extended software option requires DD OS 5.3.x and DD Boost 2.6.x.

u

Backups over WAN are ed under a request for product qualification (RPQ).

u

EMC Data Domain does not test all IBM POWER-based server models and relies on the IBM AIX 5L Version 5 binary compatibility statement; see http://www-03.ibm.com/ systems/power/software/aix/compatibility/index.html for more information.

All ed Fibre Channel HBAs share these characteristics: l

A single host-side FC port may not be used for both DD Boost over FC and VTL traffic to the same Data Domain system.

l

A single host-side FC port may be used for DD Boost for FC traffic to a Data Domain system A, and for VTL traffic to Data Domain system B.

l

A single host-side FC port may be used for DD Boost over FC traffic and for other traffic to non-Data Domain devices.

u

All HBA driver versions are ed; a list of ed operating systems can be found in the section on backup applications.

u

Unlike DD VTL, DD Boost over FC clients do not require driver for tape devices and changers.

u

DD Boost over FC does not EMC PowerPath. PowerPath must be disabled in configurations that include DD Boost over FC.
