Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Viewing DD System Manager

From some DDMC pages, you can launch a DD System Manager session to perform configuration or troubleshooting. The launched version of DD System Manager runs on DDMC, not on the system, which gives a centralized, secure, and simultaneous administration for multiple systems.

To start a session, select an entry in a table listing (for example), and select View DD System Manager from any of the following DDMC pages:

• Health > Status
• Capacity > Systems
• Capacity > Management (classic view)
• Capacity > Projected (classic view)
• Infrastructure > Systems
• Replication Pair Details lightbox
• System Details lightbox

The DD System Manager session that starts requires no login or logout and provides complete management of the system. DD System Manager opens showing the corresponding area from where it was launched (for example, if the launch was from the Alerts view, the Alerts page on the Data Domain system is opened).

The launched DD System Manager is displayed inside DDMC, and the navigation menu is changed to the DD System Manager menu. A Back button is on the upper left with the system name that is shown underneath. Clicking the Back button navigates back to the DDMC module that launched the DD System Manager.

Note the following about launching DD System Manager from DDMC:

• You can View DD System Manager for a system for which you have an admin, limited-admin, or user role.
• A permission is composed of a system or group, a user (local or NIS), and a role.
  • The administrator role is required for replication configuration and IPMI configuration.
• The inventory of systems on DDMC is used.
  • The systems that are shown are based on the effective permissions.
  • Only replication source and destination systems that are registered with DDMC are shown.
• Other firewall ports for the session do not need to be opened. After a system is added to DDMC, the existing port assignments are used for the DD System Manager connection.
