Data Domain: DDOS Replication Version Compatibility Matrix (through DDOS 6.0)

Backup

For, I presume silly reasons, EMC hasn’t updated their public facing documentation pertaining to Data Domain’s system-to-system replication compatibility matrix (in relation to the various DDOS releases)(what a mouthful)(phrasing).

Their public facing doc, KB459943, only covers up to DDOS 5.5. Here’s the updated chart, straight from EMC, now covering DDOS 5.6, 5.7, and 6.0*. As always, please confirm with EMC and don’t take the below for granted. All this is subject to change, more or less, at random.

Oh, and I added colour coding, because why not?

* Not sure why the chart EMC provided to me includes DDOS 6.0. Is it already in the development path? Are they just being preemptive in their documentation (it’s a pretty consistent pattern)? Guess that’s why they haven’t updated their KB article yet.

Key:

  • C*: Collection Replication
    • C: Collection Replication for compliance data only
  • Dir: Directory Replication
  • Del: Delta Replication (Low bandwidth optimization)
  • M: Mtree Replication
    • M*: Mtree Replication not supported for VTL
  • N/A: Replication not supported
