there’s anything wrong with the topology of the Data Domain migration and
system, but just indicates the disks aren’t in use retaining your system name and
Step one is a physical action: you need to install the enclosures in the racks and cable them to
the Data Domain controller. In this post we’ve got a DD2500 with three ES30 enclosures, each
filled to the brim with 3TB NL-SAS drives. The Data Domain DD2500 controller has two ports
(3A and 3C) for a total of 1 loop which can house max 4 ES30 enclosures with 2TB disk or 3
ES30 enclosures with 3TB disks. Obviously this is the max supported configuration of this Invest Your

The enclosures are connected to the Data Domain and other enclosures in a redundant loop
fashion.

It is important to note that, should you be installing enclosures in a multi-loop system like a Nimble Storage
DD990, it’s important to fill up one loop first before adding enclosures to a second loop. In a NL-SAS NL-Series
system like VNX you would be trying to balance the enclosures over the buses; not so in a Data performance
Domain! The exception is that you cannot mix ES20 and ES30 enclosures on one loop RecoverPoint
and can’t mix ES30 NL-SAS and SAS shelves on one loop.

more fancy disk show state. I prefer the latter…

You will first have to add the enclosures to the active tier with the storage add enclosure
<enclosureid> command. Rerunning the disk show state command will now show the disks for
that enclosure as available. Rerun the command for all remaining enclosures to make all the

Update 2017: this screenshot actually shows an incorrect configuration: ports 3a and 3b are
used, which are on the same IO processor. The DD2500 shelves should be connected to ports
3a and 3c, or a permanent SAS back-end cabling error will appear a er upgrading to DD-OS 5
or higher
The last step is a stress-test of the connectivity: run the enclosure test topology <portnumber>
duration <time in minutes>. Five minutes per port should be plenty; the ports are listed in the
show topology command. Check the output of the command: if there are no errors, the
system is good to go.
