If backups are failing when using a dynamic interface group, one of the likely causes is that DD Boost is disabled. Since DD Boost is essential for optimized data transfer during backups, its disabled status would lead to backup failures even if other configurations appear correct.

If you need to verify this in the simulator:

Go to the Protocols section.

Check the status of DD Boost.

Ensure that DD Boost is enabled to allow backups to proceed successfully.

To configure a new MTree with a specified path and size limit in PowerProtect DD, follow these steps:

Step 1: Access the MTree Management Section

In the DD System Manager interface, locate Data Management in the sidebar.

Select MTree from the dropdown menu to manage MTrees.

Step 2: Create a New MTree

Step 3: Set the MTree Size Limit

In the MTree creation dialog, look for an option to set a Quota or Size Limit for the MTree.

Set the Size Limit to 200 TiB to ensure the MTree does not exceed this capacity.

Step 4: Save the Configuration

Confirm and save your settings to create the MTree with the specified path and size restriction.

After these steps, you should have a new MTree at /data/col1/oracle with a maximum allowed size of 200 TiB. Let me know if further assistance is required!

To flash an LED on a hard drive and bring a disk back online using the DD System Manager or DDOS CLI, follow these general steps:

Step 1: Identify the Disk

In DD System Manager:

Go to the Hardware section in the sidebar.

Locate the list of disks, and find Disk 1.5 (the offline disk).

In DDOS CLI (if using CLI):

Use the command to list disks and confirm the status of Disk 1.5.

Command example: disk show state or disk show summary.

Step 2: Flash the LED on the Disk

In DD System Manager:

In the Hardware section, select Disk 1.5.

Look for an option like Flash LED or Locate Drive to help identify the physical disk.

Activate the LED flash to identify the disk physically.

In DDOS CLI:

Use the command: disk locate 1.5 to flash the LED for Disk 1.5.

Step 3: Bring the Disk Back Online

In DD System Manager:

After identifying the disk, check for options to Bring Online or Reactivate Disk 1.5.

Select the option to return the disk to operation.

In DDOS CLI:

Use the command: disk unfail 1.5 to bring the disk back online.

Step 4: Verify the Disk Status

Confirm in DD System Manager or by using the disk show state command in CLI that Disk 1.5 is now online and functioning.

After completing these steps, the LED should flash to help locate the disk physically, and then Disk 1.5 will be returned to an operational state. Let me know if you need further guidance!
