  • You can also read up in Hardware Compatibility list about all the features for VMware that are supported with DD. Such as Accelerator for VMware.
  • Not much to say other than it works.  What are you looking for specifically?

  • I need know about steps to configure, for example if I need to install any pluggin or driver on vCenter server.

    Ther version of NBU is 7.6.0.2, on aix server.

    Data Domain model is 4500, I review the HCL and it looks everythins is fine.

     

    Thanks everyone.

     

  • Simply select DD STU in Policy. Or if you have DD as part of SLP, select the SLP in Attributes or in the Schedules. DD is backup destination like you used to have with tape. Just a selection in the Storage Unit field of the policy. Nothing more....
