Every Data Domain system that is enabled for Data Domain Boost must have a unique name. You can use the Data Domain system's DNS name, which is always unique.
To enable DD Boost:
1 On the Data Domain system, log in as an administrative user.
2 Verify that the file system is enabled and running by entering:
# filesys status
The file system is enabled and running.
3 Add the DD Boost license using the license key that Data Domain provided:
# license add license_key
License "ABCE-BCDA-CDAB-DABC" added.
4 Set the DD Boost user by entering:
# ddboost set user-name ddboost-user
5 Enable DD Boost by entering:
# ddboost enable
DD Boost enabled
Notes:
•Only one user can be configured for DD Boost access on a Data Domain system at a time.
The username and password must have already been set up on the Data Domain system
using the DD OS CLI command: user add username [password password]
For example, to add a user with a login name of “jsmith” and a password of “usr256” with
administrative privilege, enter:
# user add jsmith password usr256
•The user must be configured in vRanger in order to connect to the Data Domain system.
