Add EMC Data Domain Devices

Provide the relevant information about the Telnet/SSH and SNMP credentials, and proxy collector in the following fields on the Add DeDupe Device dialog.

Follow these steps:

1. Specify the name / IP address of the Data Domain device in the Name/IP box.
2. Select either the SSH (secure shell) or Telnet protocols that you want to apply.

   Note: The SSH is selected by default.

3. Provide the name of the user and password credentials in the Telnet/SSH section.
4. Provide the following SNMP details in the SNMP Credentials section.

   Version

   Specifies the version of the SNMP.

   If you select the SNMP V3 version, the user name, security level, authentication protocol, authentication key, privacy protocol, and privacy key fields are displayed.

   If you select the SNMP V1 or SNMP V2 versions, the community string field only is displayed.

   Community String

   Specifies the default community string as public.

   Note: This field is applicable only if you select V1 and V2 versions.

5. Select the computer through which CA SRM performs data collection of the data domain device from the Proxy Collector drop-down.

   Note: If you want to use a computer as a proxy collector, register the computer with CA SRM. For more information about registering a computer with CA SRM, see the Register Windows Computers section in the SRM User Guide.

6. Select how often you want CA SRM to perform data collection on the data domain and click the Ellipsis button for the Data Collection Frequency.

   The Data Collection Frequency dialog opens.

7. Click OK.

   The Setting Properties for DeDupe Devices dialog populates the added device details.
