In this video, we cover the initial configuration of the power protect data domain systems. Please note that the serial port at the rear of the system is the only supported interface for initial console access as such, do not connect to the USB VG A or IRA direct micro USB port on the front of the system or to the IRA nine dedicated management port on the rear of the system to begin connect a DB nine new modem cable to the serial port at the rear of the power protect DD system, connect the system to the network via the one gigabit Ethernet port.
The base system supports four by 10 gigabyte Ethernet. For the purposes of this demonstration, we will connect only 1 10 gigabit cable, connect the power. The power protect DD is a dual PSU system. Connect each PSU to a redundant ac power source by using redundant power sources. It allows one ac source to fail or be serviced without impacting the system operation out of the box. The system will not automatically power on. After plugging in ac power, you need to press the power button on the front of the system to continue from the initial start.
It can take up to five minutes for the system to begin to send messages to the serial console, using a laptop attached to the DB nine serial cable you connected, launch a terminal emulation program such as Putty or hyper term and configure the comport you're connected to with the following communication settings rate of 11 5200 data bits, eight stop bits of one parody. None, flow control, none and emulation. VT 100. No, you must use 11 5200 bod rate for the system to work correctly. 9600 bod rate does not work. Press enter to activate the console.
The system can take up to 15 minutes to complete the boot process. If you do not see the prompt on your terminal to log in, then verify the front blue led is on. If it is not make sure the power cables are fully seated at both ends and all the AC sources are on, then power on the system. If it is powered on, then verify that the DB nine cable is connected correctly and double check the terminal settings. The initial user name is C admin and the initial password is a system serial number found on the hang tag attached to the rear handle of the chassis or on the pull tag on the front of the system.
The PSNT is followed immediately by the text PN and a number that begins with 900 log into the data domain console using the initial user name and password for configuration. There are two wizards, a data domain system manager, configuration wizard and a command line interface configuration wizard. These configuration wizards guide you through a simplified configuration of the system to get the system operating quickly. The cli configuration wizard starts automatically. The first time the system starts. The wizard prompts you through a series of questions that provide just enough information for initial system configuration and basic network connectivity. You can also begin the cli configuration wizard manually by typing config set up. After you complete the basic configuration.
In the cli wizard, you can switch to the gooey configuration wizard in data domain system manager or you may also continue to use the cli to further configure your system. Now for the initial network setup procedure using cli to configure the system for network connectivity type. Yes, depending on whether or not your network is set up with DH CP. The steps you perform may vary from our demonstration. We choose as a static private network for DH CP. You can type yes to configure DH CP to automatically obtain network parameters such as post name, domain name and IP addresses from a DH CP server or type note to configure the parameters manually as we show in our demonstration type, a fully qualified domain name for the host name or accept the host name.
If your system can discover it type the DNS domain name or accept the domain name. If your system can discover it next enable and configure each ethernet interface, accept or decline DH CP for each interface. If the port does not use DH CP to discover the network parameters, automatically type the information manually, please note additional ports beyond E MA embe MC and E MD may not appear in your system depending on the optional N you have installed type the IP address as the default routing gateway or accept the default gateway. If your system can discover it. If you're using I PV six type, the I PV six address of the default routing gateway or accept the I PV six address of the default gateway.
If the system can discover it while if I PV six is not in use, leave the field empty and press enter to continue type up to three DNS servers to use for resolving host names to IP addresses using a comma separated or space separated list. Press enter for no DNS servers or accept the IP addresses of the DNS servers. If the system can discover them. A summary of the network settings is then displayed, you can accept the settings using the command save, reject the settings and exit the cli using cancel or return to the beginning of the current section and change the settings with retry using retry displays the previous responses for each prompt to accept the display value.
Simply press enter or type a new one. At this point, you can use the data domain system manager gooey to customize a set up to your backup environment. The gooey wizard guide you through adding license key files, configuring backup clients, file shares and protocols. This completes our demonstration of the initial cli set up of a power protect data domain solution.
