Pre-Comp = Data written before compression             
Post-Comp = Storage used after compression             
Global-Comp Factor = Pre-Comp / (Size after de-dupe)   
Local-Comp Factor = (Size after de-dupe) / Post-Comp   
Total-Comp Factor = Pre-Comp / Post-Comp               
Reduction % = ((Pre-Comp - Post-Comp) / Pre-Comp) * 100

System Stats auslesen

This command displays a quick look at real-time statistics for key system areas, including: CPU, NFS and CIFS protocols, network traffic, disk read and write rates and replication statistics. This is a good way to measure raw throughput on the storage system

system show stats int 2

The next command to show Data Domain Boost statistics in real time.

ddboost show stats int 2

File Transfer ab DD

Um ein File ab einer DD zu kopieren gehe wie folgt vor:

logge dich mit dem CLI auf der DataDomain ein

system  show serialno

**** Error retrieving information (**** Error communicating with management service.).
(limited session) #

The error communicating with management service alert is caused by the SMS service being in a hung state. It typically appears to happen randomly after DD OS upgrades. The resolution is to manually restart this service. Please could you try and run the following commands over a cli session?

#system show serialno
#priv set se
#se sms restart

(This will restart SMS)

Filesystem commands and the Management Service should now work without issue.

Hostname ändern

net set hostname

Dazu müssen nachher noch zwei Sachen geändert werden.

In der DDMC muss das alte Zertifikat geändert werden.

adminaccess trust show 
adminaccess trust del host hddxx1.pnet.ch 
adminaccess trust add host hddxx2.pnet.ch

Die Replikationen (falls vorhanden) müssen auf den neuen Hostname geändert werden.Auf dem Source Host und auf dem Destination Host ausführen:

replication show config all
replication disable mtree://hddxx1.pnet.ch/data/col1/zf2_sql_bak 
replication modify mtree://hddxx1.pnet.ch/data/col1/zf2_er2_img_repli destination-host hddxx2.pnet.ch 
replication enable mtree://hddxx2.pnet.ch/data/col1/zf2_er2_img_repli

Compression type

DDOS currenty supports four different compression types with varying levels of compression CPU load.

type        expected-comp  CPU-load
----------  -------------  --------    
none        1x             0x
lz(default) 2x             1x
gzfast      2.5x           2x
gz          3x             5x

For example, the gz compression algorithm gives about 3x local compression but uses about 5x more CPU to run the compression part of the code than lz.

Note that the expected compression figures can vary greatly based on the data type. For some data types, gz may only be 10% better than lz while for other data types, it is 2x or more better than lz.In general, files with lots of similar strings of data tend to compression better with gz than lz. Examples of such data sets are:

Database files.
Log files.

Consequences of using gz:

Since the stronger compression algorithms use more CPU, they can have significant performance consequences:

Use the following commands to change the compression type:

# filesys disable
# filesys option set local-compression-type {none | lz | gzfast | gz}
# filesys enable

Warning: Prior to changing the local compression type, the file system must be shut down. It can then be restarted immediately after the compression option has been set. This is necessary due to Bug 66582.Once the compression type is changed, all new writes will use the new compression type and any data already written will be converted to the new compression type during cleaning. As a result, the first clean after changing the compression type may take a much longer time to run.

181558 : Identifying Data Types That Cause Poor Compression

https://support.emc.com/kb/181558

MissingDiskPath - Error: EVT-MPATH-00005

The workaround is to do disk port disable and disk port enable to reset HBA.# If the drive is reporting "hardware access error" or 'failed" state, identify the active path the drive is on. At the Data Domain system prompt type

disk multipath status

Example Output:

      Disk Multipath Status
---------------------
Port Hops   Status    Disk                 
----   ----    -------   ---------------------
2a     1      Active       2.1 - 2.3, 2.5 - 2.16
       1      Failed       2.4*********** - Status shows a "failed" path     
       3      Standby   3.1 - 3.16           
       2      Active      4.1 - 4.8            
       2      Standby   4.9 - 4.16

       2      Active       4.9 - 4.16           
       2      Standby    4.1 - 4.8            
----   ----   -------   ---------------------

Disable the filesystem. Issue the command:

filesys disable

Go to SE Mode.# Disable the path with the failed drive. Issue the command:

disk port disable

In the example above, path 2a should be disabled by running the command disk port disable 2a# Force I/O to the standby path. Run the command:

enclosure test topology  duration

In the example above, the syntax would be enclosure test topology 3b duration 1# Verify the secondary path is now active. Run the command:

disk multipath status

Unfail the disk drive by running the command:

disk unfail

Enable the failed path. Run the command:

disk port enable

In the example above, the syntax would be disk port enable 2a# Verify the failed path is now active. Run the command:

disk multipath status

Return to step 4 and run the workaround on the other path if it is failed or not active# Verify the connection path alert cleared.# Exit SE Mode. Run the command:

priv set admin

Re-enable the filesystem:

filesys enable

Optional workaround:
Note: This option will require a system outage.
Reboot the system. A reboot will cause the system to recognize the drive paths when the RAID array is reassembled.

Fix: This issue will be fixed in future DD OS releases.

#system headswap
The system responds:

This command returns the system back to its prior operational
conditions. The system will be rebooted before resuming normal
operations.
Are you sure? (yes|no|?) [no]:
yes
ok, proceeding.
Please enter sysadmin password to confirm 'system headswap':
This command may take several minutes to complete; please wait.
Restoring the system configuration . . .
Success
deployment chassis replacement..........[start]
Reassemble external shelf...............[OK]
Save external storage UUID to Head ......[OK]
Save head serial to external storage ....[OK]
Mount management volume...................[OK]
deployment chassis replacement............[done]
...

This command might take 30 minutes or longer to complete, depending on the
number of shelves and the amount of data on the shelves. The system should reboot automatically.

Berechtigungen auf CIF Shares ändern

Berechtigung für ein bestimmten User

The best way to proceed with granting access to the folder for that particular user is to do the following;

Switch to SE mode;

system show serialno
priv set se -> press enter
[serialno] -> press enter
cifs troubshooting list-users -> Will give you the user's uid and gid
se chown -R uid:gid /ndmplb/[subfolder] -> This will give folder ownership to the user and all subfolders within it.

Berechtigung für alle

Wen das nicht geholfen hatte, kann noch folgendes durchgeführt werden:

!!! Aber nur als letzte Möglichkeit verwenden !!!

Denn es erstellt Full Control Rights for everyone!

Switch to SE mode;

system show serialno
priv set se -> press enter
[serialno] -> press enter
se chmod -R 777 /ndmplb/[subfolder]

Beispiel für den Ordner sap-pi7dev'

se chmod -R 777 /ndmplb/sap-pi7dev
