Safety overview
CAUTION

l If the system is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the

protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
l The RJ45 sockets on the motherboard, PCI cards, or I/O modules are for
Ethernet connection only and must not be connected to a
telecommunications network.

Review this list of important safety recommendations.

l All plug-in modules and blank plates are part of the fire enclosure and must be
removed only when a replacement can be added immediately. The system must
not be run without all parts in place.
l A DD3300 system must be operated only from a power supply input voltage range
of 100–240 VAC and 50–60 Hz.
l The system is intended to operate with all installed power supplies working as
intended.
l Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection.
l A safe electrical earth connection must be provided to each power cord. Check
the grounding of the power sources before applying power.
l The plug on each power supply cord is used as the main device to disconnect
power from the system. Ensure that the socket outlets are located near the
equipment and are easily accessible.
l Permanently unplug the unit if you think it is damaged in any way and before
moving the system. A DD3300 system includes one or two power supplies. To
completely remove system power, you must disconnect all power supplies.
l The power connections must always be disconnected prior to removal or
replacement of a power supply module from any of the components in the system.
l A faulty power supply module should be replaced within 24 hours.
l Do not lift system components by yourself. A DD3300 system weighs up to 72.91
lbs (33.1 kg).

CAUTION

Data Domain systems are heavy. Use at least two people or a mechanical lift
to move any system.
l To comply with applicable safety, emission, and thermal requirements, covers
must not be removed and all bays must be fitted with plug-in modules.
l For ESD protection, Data Domain recommends that you wear a suitable antistatic
wrist or ankle strap. Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling
plug-in modules and components.

a. The internal physical disks are configured in a RAID6 configuration. RAID6 provides the system with the ability to withstand the
simultaneous failure of two hard drives, or the failure of one hard drive while another hard drive is still rebuilding after a drive
replacement operation.
b. After replacing a disk, it takes approximately 18 hours to complete the rebuild operation on the new disk, but may take
significantly longer depending on the amount of activity on the system.
c. The system compensates for the required file system overhead, so the reported usable capacity matches the specified usable
capacity.

Configure System for Use

The Data Domain Operating System Administration Guide provides information and
configuration information for the Data Domain system features.
The following sections describe additional procedures that are specific to the DD3300
system.

Using the CLI to configure storage for DD Cloud Tier

Before you begin
The appropriate capacity license for the DD3300 system must be installed.
The procedure to configure storage for DD Cloud Tier is unique for the DD3300
because the system requires the use of 4 TB virtual disks for Active Tier storage, and 1
TB virtual disks to store the DD Cloud Tier metadata.
This procedure uses the CLI to configure DD Cloud Tier, but equivalent functionality is
available in Data Domain System Manager. The Data Domain Operating System
Administration Guide describes how to configure DD Cloud Tier through the GUI.
For DD Cloud Tier configurations with ECS, the DD3300 system requires a close time
synchronization with the ECS system to configure a Data Domain cloud unit.
Configuring NTP on the DD3300 and ECS systems addresses this issue.
Procedure
1. Ensure licenses for the features CLOUDTIER-CAPACITY and CAPACITY-
ACTIVE are installed. To check the ELMS license:
# elicense show

If the license is not installed, use the elicense update command to install
the license. Enter the command and paste the contents of the license file after
this prompt. After pasting, ensure there is a carriage return, then press
Control-D to save. You are prompted to replace licenses, and after answering
yes, the licenses are applied and displayed.
# elicense update
Enter the content of license file and then press Control-D, or
press Control-C to cancel.

2. Display the list of storage devices on the system:

Note

This example output does not include the columns for Slot (pci/idx),
Manufacturer/Model, Firmware, and Serial Number that will appear in the
actual system output.

for use with those products. Use the Data Domain Operating System Administration
Guide to configure DD Cloud Tier with AWS, Azure, ECS, Virtustream, or a Generic S3
provider.

Using the CLI to configure storage for the SSD Cache Tier
Before you begin
The DD3300 system must be an 8 TB, 16 TB, or 32 TB configuration running DD OS
6.1.2 or later. No license is required to configure the SSD Cache Tier on a DD3300
system.
This procedure uses the CLI to configure the SSD Cache Tier, but equivalent
functionality is available in Data Domain System Manager. The Data Domain Operating
System Administration Guide describes how to configure the SSD Cache Tier through
the GUI.
