Make sure you understand that fibre for the Data Domain is an add on so costs extra. In our planning we were going to do fibre but didn't order the add on so ended up having to do GigE with NFS mounts instead. To get throughput we wanted we had to work on doing network aggregation.
Having said all that the Data Domains work pretty much as advertised and the high compression/deduplication numbers are a reality. ________________________________ From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of BeDour, Wayne Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 9:32 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Adding a DataDomain VTL need advice All Our environment HP-UX 11.31 a SureStore 20/700 library with 10 LTO-1 drives, NetBackup 6.5.2 Master / Media server and one Windows Media server using SSO. We are looking at purchasing a Data Domain device, eliminating the SureStore library as it is at its end of life and replacing it with a smaller library. We have no experience with a VTL or what pitfalls or things to look out for while setting up the new environment. Any advice on where to look to gather info, or experiences of what to look out for? Thanks in advance.
