Configuring DD Boost user information for CyberSense
If you add the CyberSense application to your deployment, configure the
user information on the CyberSense host.
About this task
You must configure the
DD Boost user on the CyberSense host to ensure:
The use of the DD Boost user with an appropriate role while mounting the sandbox during the analysis process.
The ability to perform a connectivity test on a multilink object for CyberSense version 8.2 or later running on
Cyber Recovery version 19.13 or later. If this
DD Boost user is not configured, the multilink object is in the
Inactive state and Analyze operations fail.
For the multilink feature:
On the CyberSense server, at least one
DD Boost user must be configured for the
DD that is associated with the multilink configuration.
You can associate additional
DD Boost users for the same multilink configuration.
Steps
If your deployment is running CyberSense version 8.2 or later, go to the following step. Otherwise, go to step 5.
From
Cyber Recovery, identify the
storageID for the DD system associated with the multilink configuration by performing one of the following steps:
Find the
Storage ID field in the UI details panel by going to
Assets- > Vault Storage > DD.
Find the
Data Domain ID field in the
crcli dd list output.
Use SSH to access the CyberSense host.
Perform the following steps:
List existing storage IDs previously configured on the CyberSense host by running the
ddcfg GET command. The following example shows the output for a deployment running CyberSense version 8.3:
[root@sys123 ~]# ddcfg GET
# +++ S/N AUDVEN8KK3DGBR active +++
storageid: 63d94ae3f1ce505e645d1e5e
ens161,10.1.1.1,10000=ethV0,10.1.1.11,10000
ens192,10.1.1.2,10000=ethV1,10.1.1.12,10000
ens224,10.1.1.3,10000=ehtV2,10.1.1.13,10000
ddboost-ppdm-user
ddboost-user
NOTE:For a deployment running CyberSense version 8.2, the command provides output in JSON format.
Add one or more
DD Boost users by running either of the following commands. The second command prompts you for passwords.
NOTE:
Prohibited characters in the
DD Boost user password cause the multilink configuration to fail. Ensure that
DD Boost user passwords do not include the following characters:
{,
},
[,
],
',
", or
=.
When adding another user, you must specify the entire set of users including any existing users. Otherwise, the existing users will be removed.
# ddcfg PATCH <storage ID|Data Domain ID> existinguser1 existinguser2 newuser
password for ‘existinguser1’:
password for 'existinguser2':
password for ‘newuser’:
Restart the dispatcher:
# dservice dispatch restart
If your deployment is running a version of CyberSense that is earlier than version 8.2, perform the following steps:
Add one or more
DD Boost users:
# ddboostcfg add
Enter the DD host IP address, username, and password:
Enter hostname, username, and password for each Data Domain host you
plan to connect to using DDBoost protocol.
Reply with Enter or Ctrl-D on the Host: prompt to finish
Host: <host name>
Username: <username>
Password: <password>
NOTE:For multilink configuration, enter any of the available DD interfaces that you plan to use to define an interface link.
Restart the dispatcher:
# dservice dispatch restart
