Compatibility with Future Patch and Maintenance Versions
ofApplications
Future patch and maintenance versions of the applications listed
in this document areexpected to be compatible with the DD OS
versions listed in the tables for eachapplication. Specifically,
this implies that EMC Data Domain may not necessarily test
orqualify a future version of the application and does not
guarantee ongoing compatibility.The application, including future
versions, will be supported by EMC Data Domain;troubleshooting and
analysis will take place until EMC Data Domain determines that
thecause of the problem is a change in a future version. At this
point, EMC Data Domainreserves the right to request a downgrade to
a known, working solution. Do not assumethat new features or work
flows that come with new patch or maintenance versions
arecompatible with EMC Data Domain unless specifically identified
as such.
Managed File Replication Version Compatibility PolicyDD Boost
supports bidirectional managed file replication as follows. You can
implementbidirectional file replication between Data Domain source
and destination systems thatare within two release families of each
other, so long as the DD Boost plug-in versionused is compatible
with both the source and destination DD OS versions. The DD
Boostplug-in is compatible with the DD OS version it accompanies,
the preceding DD OSversion, and the following DD OS version. This
table illustrates the compatibility:Table 1 DD Boost Plug-in and DD
OS Versions
DD Boost Plug-inVersion
DD OS AccompanyingVersion
Prior DD OSVersion
Following DD OSVersion
2.2 4.9 4.8 5.02.3 5.0 4.9 5.12.4 5.1 5.0 5.22.5 5.2 5.1 5.3 and
5.42.6 5.3 and 5.4 5.2 5.4 and 5.53.0 5.5 5.4 5.5
For example, the DD Boost 2.3.x plug-in is compatible with DD OS
versions 4.9.x, 5.0.x,and 5.1.x. Therefore, when you use the DD
Boost 2.3.x plug-in, you can implementbidirectional managed file
replication between Data Domain systems running DD OS4.9.x and DD
OS 5.1.x. But you cannot implement bidirectional managed file
replicationbetween Data Domain systems running DD OS 5.0.x and DD
OS 5.2.x or between systemsrunning DD OS 5.0.x and DD OS 4.8.x
because the DD Boost 2.3.x plug-in is notcompatible with DD OS
5.2.x or 4.8.x according to the compatibility policy.
How to Use the Tables in this DocumentPerform the following
procedure to determine which versions of third party
applicationsand components are compatible with specific EMC Data
Domain Operating System (DDOS) versions and to obtain additional
information needed to determine compatibility of adesired
configuration.

Procedure1. Find the table for the desired application and
version in the application tables.2. Verify that an entry exists
for the desired operating system version and CPU
architecture (platform) in the table.3. Ensure the Data Domain
system is running at the specified DD OS version in the DD
OS column and the specified DD Boost version in the DD Boost
column.

EMC NetWorker Notesu The virtual synthetic full backup and clone
feature in NetWorker 8.1 requires DD OS
version 5.3 or later.u The Data Domain Boost libraries are
included in the NetWorker software. Once
NetWorker 7.6.1 or higher is installed, all the necessary DD
Boost components arealso installed.
u Support for backups over WAN may be possible in certain
configurations. If you areinterested in such support, you can
submit a request for product qualification (RPQ).Please contact
your EMC Backup Recovery Systems sales representative for
moreinformation.
u NetWorker Module for Microsoft (NMM) version 2.3 supports
Direct File Access (DFA)with NetWorker Data Domain Boost devices,
which enables backup data to bypassthe storage node and go directly
to the Data Domain System. Please see theNetWorker compatibility
matrix for specific details.
u EMC Data Domain does not test all IBM POWER-based server
models and relies on theIBM AIX 5L Version 5 binary compatibility
statement; see
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/compatibility/index.html
for more information.

u DD Boost over FC does not support EMC PowerPath. In general,
PowerPath must bedisabled in configurations that include DD Boost
over FC. However, on Windowsservers, disabling the General Purpose

2.3.x and DD OS 4.9.1or later. Backup Exec 2010 R2 or R3 or Backup
Exec 2012 is required. Backup ExecHotfix
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH138226
is strongly recommended for Optimized Duplicationfor Backup Exec
2010 R2.
u Encrypted managed file replication (optimized duplication) is
supported with BackupExec and requires DD OS 5.0 or later on both
source and destination DD systems.
u Data Domain Extended Retention software option is supported
with Backup Exec andrequires OST plug-in 2.3.1 or later.

at thislocation: http://gig.corp.emc.com/NOTICE
NBU 6.5 is no longer supported as of October 3, 2012. Please see
the following pressrelease and information on the EOSL (End of
Support Life) policy from
Symantec:http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH74757
EMC encourages all customers to upgrade their NBU 6.5
implementations. If necessary,please contact EMC Customer Support
during the migration window if you need a currentversion of the DD
Boost plug-in (up to and including 2.5).u Support for any version
of NBU on DD OS 5.2 with DD Boost 2.5 does not include
virtual synthetics, Automatic Image Replication (AIR), or
Accelerator.l Virtual synthetics support in NBU requires DD OS 5.4
or later.l AIR support in NBU (7.6 pr later) requires DD OS 5.4 or
later.l Accelerator support in NBU (7.6 or later) requires DD OS
5.4 or later.
u NBU versions 7.0.x, 7.1.x, and 7.5.x require the 64-bit OST
plug-in, except onWindows 2003. On Windows 2003, the 32-bit OST
plug-in must be used on a 32-bit
Compatibility Guide
38 EMC DD Boost Compatibility Guide
-
NBU installation and the 64- bit OST plug-in must be used on a
64-bit NBUinstallation.
u Encrypted managed file replication (optimized duplication) is
supported with NBUand requires DD OS 5.0 or later on both source
and destination Data Domainsystems.
u Data Domain Extended Retention software option is supported
with NBU and requiresOST plug-in 2.3.1 or later.
u The use of virtual synthetics together with the Data Domain
Extended software optionrequires DD OS 5.3.x and DD Boost
2.6.x.
u Backups over WAN are supported under a request for product
qualification (RPQ).u EMC Data Domain does not test all IBM
POWER-based server models and relies on the
IBM AIX 5L Version 5 binary compatibility statement; see
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/compatibility/index.html
for more information.
u NBU 7.5 support details:l Has been tested with optimized
virtual synthetics. Requires DD OS 5.3.x or later.l Will support
NBU Accelerator feature to Data Domain systems where the DD
Boost
2.6 plug-in is installed.l Supports DD Boost over FC as
transport with the DD Boost 2.6 plug-in. Both are
updated on Symantecs Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).l NBU 7.5
feature support is the same for both DD Boost over IP and DD Boost
over
FC.l The NBU 7.5 feature Optimized Duplication requires TCP/IP
transport between
the two Data Domain systems.u NBU 7.6 compatibility details:
l Supports the NBU VM Accelerator feature with DD OS 5.4.3.x or
later.l Supports the NBU AIR feature to Data Domain systems where
the DD Boost 2.6
plug-in is installed.l HPUX 11.23 on the PA-RISC architecture
supports the media server or client only.
u DD Boost over FC does not support EMC PowerPath. In general,
PowerPath must bedisabled in configurations that include DD Boost
over FC. However, on Windowsservers, disabling the General Purpose
Extension (GPX) within PowerPath 5.7 issupported with DD Boost over
FC.
