l
Do not mix ES30s and ES20s in the same set. A set is the group of shelves
connected together and to the same Data Domain system’s controller ports.
l
Do not mix SAS-based ES30 shelves with any other shelf type in the same set.
l
For redundancy, the two connections from a Data Domain system to a set of
shelves must use ports on different SAS HBAs or SAS I/O modules. The DD2500
and DD6300 systems are an exception to this rule.
l
Use the Installation and Configuration Guide for your controller to minimize the
chance of a cabling mistake.
l
A Data Domain system cannot exceed its maximum raw external shelf capacity,
regardless of added shelf capacity.
l
When used, a FS15 shelf does not count against the capacity total but it is counted
for shelf limits.
l
ES30-45 SATA shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 and later and are only
supported on the DD990, DD4200, DD4500, DD6300, DD6800, DD7200, DD9300,
DD9500, and DD9800 systems.
l
ES30 SAS shelves must be running DD OS 5.4 and later and are only supported on
DD2500, DD4200, DD4500, DD6300, DD6800, DD7200, DD9300, DD9500, and
DD9800 systems.
l
DD OS 5.6 does not support the ES20 shelves on the DD9500 systems. However,
in DD OS 5.7 and later, ES20 shelves can be attached to a DD6300, DD6800 and
DD9300, or DD9500 or DD9800 system only for the period of time necessary to
complete the shelf migration process.
l
DD OS 5.7 and later support 4TB drives on the DD4500, DD6300, DD6800,
DD7200 (256GB), DD9300, DD9500, and DD9800 systems.
l
DD OS 5.7 and later do not support the DD660, DD690, DD880 systems.
l
ERSO systems do not support HA or DD Cloud Tier.
l
HA systems do not support SATA drives.
