Re: VDP 6.0.2 and DataDomain
I believe (could be mistaken) that backups stored on VDP1 (on DataDomain) will be replicated to VDP2's DataDomain. So if your backup is on VDP1's local disks then it'll save it to VDP2's local disks....

Thanks for the reply. I had assumed this would be the case, but found no documentation to back it. I do have a DD at each site, however Site 1's DD is at 90% capacity with our conventional backup data....
View ArticleRe: VDP 6.0.2 and DataDomain
Correct - source and target must be similar. VDP+DD <---> VDP+DD or VDP <---> VDP. VDP uses DD copy to replicate backup data between DD systems. Metadata is stored and replicated between...

Have you tried resetting the VDP password from the vdp-configure webpage? It will reset the repluser password.

There is no way to reduce capacity of an appliance so you will have to build new.

Once you remove all your backups off the VDP VMDKs just Storage vMotion the appliance to another datastore using thin-provisioning. This will reduce the physical foot print of the storage usage.

Excellent work-around, ASRIS. I'm so adverse to thins, I didn't even consider that option. I'll figure out if I want those to linger or not. I'd hate to deal with the gaps in backup retention if I have...
