Introduction
Document scope and audience
This document describes IDPA and explains how to install the hardware and perform the initial
software configuration after the appliance hardware is set up.
The target audience for this document includes field personnel, partners, and customers
responsible for managing and operating IDPA.
Product features
IDPA provides a simplified configuration and integration of data protection components in a
consolidated solution.
Integrated solution
IDPA DP4400 model is a hyperconverged, 2U system that a user can install and configure onsite.
The DP4400 includes a virtual edition of Avamar server (AVE) as a Backup Server node with an
optional NDMP Accelerator, a virtual edition of Data Domain system (DDVE) as the Protection
Storage node, Cloud Disaster Recovery, IDPA System Manager as a centralized system
management , an Appliance Configuration Manager(ACM) for simplified configuration and
upgrades, Search, Reporting and Analytics, and a compute node that hosts the virtual components
and the software.
The Search, Reporting and Analytics, and CDRA components are optional. Also, you can also
perform the Search, Reporting and Analytics, and CDRA functions in a central corporate
implementation.
If your organization enables communication through the Internet, as part of the initial configuration
of the system, you can register the IDPA Appliance, Avamar, Data Domain and Reporting and
Analytics components with Secure Remote Services (formerly ESRS). The Secure Remote
Services is a secure, IP-based, distributed customer service support system that provides Dell
EMC customers with command, control, and visibility of support-related activities.
Centralized management
IDPA System Manager provides advanced monitoring and management capabilities of the IDPA
from a single pane of glass and includes the following features.
l
A comprehensive dashboard that includes information about Avamar, IDPA Appliance, Data
Domain, Search, and Data Protection Advisor.

6 Dell EMC Integrated Data Protection Appliance Installation Guide
Introduction
Appliance administration
The ACM provides a graphical, web-based interface for configuring, monitoring, and upgrading the
appliance.
The ACM dashboard displays a summary of the configuration of the individual components. It also
enables the administrators to monitor the appliance, change configuration details such as changing
the Data Domain disk capacity, changing the common password for the appliance, change LDAP
settings, update customer information, and change the values in the General Settings panel. The
ACM dashboard enables you to upgrade the system and its components. It also displays the health
information of the Appliance Server and VMware components.
Backup administration
The IDPA uses Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) servers to perform backup operations, with the data
being stored in a Data Domain system. Generally, when using the Avamar Administrator
Management Console, all Avamar servers look and behave the same. The main differences among
the Avamar server configurations are the number of nodes and disk drives that are reported in the
server monitor.
You can also add an Avamar NDMP Accelerator (one NDMP Accelerator node is supported in
DP4400) to enable backup and recovery of NAS systems. The Avamar NDMP Accelerator uses the
network data management protocol (NDMP) to enable backup and recovery of network-attached
storage (NAS) systems. The accelerator performs NDMP processing and then sends the data
directly to the Data Domain Server (DDVE Storage).
Reporting and Analytics
The Reporting and Analytics feature offers a robust reporting functionality with dedicated sections
for various features. These reports help you retrieve information about the Data Domain (DDVE )
and Avamar (AVE). Using these reports, you can identify outages in the environment, diagnose
problems, plan to mitigate risks, and forecast future trends. You can also run system and
customized reports, dashboard templates, and schedule the reports generation as per your
requirements.
Search
The Search feature provides a powerful way to search backup data within the IDPA and then
restore the backup data based on the results of the Search. Scheduled collection activities are
used to gather and index the metadata (such as keyword, name, type, location, size, and backup
server/client, or indexed content) of the backup, which is then stored within the IDPA.
Disaster recovery
The CDRA is a solution, which enables disaster recovery of one or more on-premises virtual
machines (VMs) to the cloud. CDRA integrates with the existing on-premises backup software and
a Data Domain system to copy the VM backups to the cloud. It can then run a disaster recovery
test or a failover, which converts a VM to an Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
instance, and then runs this instance in the cloud.
Note:
Installing CDRA components, Search, and Reporting and Analytics (based on Data Protection
Advisor) is optional. Also, if these components are already configured in your environment,
then the appliance can be configured to use the central implementation in your environment.
You do not need to configure the optional components that are bundled in IDPA again.
However, the IDPA dashboard does not display any data that is associated with external
CDRA, Search, and Data Protection Advisor. Moreover, you must manage and configure any
such external instances. Also, IDPA does not support local Search and Analytics (not part of
IDPA but are centrally implemented at the customer environment) when these functions are
performed by external implementations.

About this task
The following steps must be completed before starting initial configuration with the Appliance
Configuration Manager:
Procedure
1. Identify 13 unassigned IP addresses for the IDPA components. To simplify configuration,
select a range of 13 contiguous addresses.
2. Register the 13 IP addresses in DNS with forward and reverse lookup entries for each
address. Ensure that the router for the 13 IP addresses can be pinged.
Preinstallation requirements
Note:
When you reserve the IP addresses, you must assign the IP addresses to
hostnames in the DNS server. Ensure that the hostnames that are assigned to the point
products are in lower case and do not have an underscore (_) or the at (@) characters.
If the hostnames have an underscore (_) or the at (@) characters, the configuration
fails.
Note: When you configure the DNS server settings during appliance configuration
ensure that you configure the settings properly. After, you configure the hostname and
domain name of the point products you cannot modify the settings. You can modify the
DNS server IP address on the point products after the appliance is configured. Ensure
that the new DNS server has the same hostname and domain names that are associated
with the corresponding point product IP addresses. For more information about
modifying the DNS server IP address, see KB 537628.
Note: Ensure that ICMP is enabled in your network environment. If ICMP is disabled,
the deployment of the appliance fails.
3. Download the license files for Data Domain Virtual Edition (DDVE), Avamar Virtual Edition
(AVE), and Data Protection Advisor (DP Advisor) from the Dell EMC Software Licensing
Central.
Note:
For DP4400, only during the initial activation, the license keys are automatically
downloaded from the ELMS server if the appliance is connected to the network with
Internet access. If the licenses are not activated automatically, you must manually
activate the licenses. For more information about activating the licenses manually, see
Manual activation on page 46
The contact person who is mentioned on your sales order should have received the License
Authorization Code (LAC) letter through an email during the order fulfillment process. The
Dell EMC Integrated Data Protection Appliance Installation Guide 11

alphanumeric value that is mentioned in your LAC letter.
After the activation is complete, download the license keys that are generated for Data
Domain Virtual Edition (DDVE), Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE), and Data Protection Advisor
(DP Advisor). Use these license keys during the IDPA configuration. For more information
License activation, see License activation on page 45
Network connectivity overview
During the initial configuration, IP addresses are assigned to various functional components of
IDPA, typically by allocating a range of IP addresses. IDPA requires 13 IP addresses for the various
components. Using a range is the preferred method as it simplifies the assignment and reduces the
chance for errors while entering the IP addresses. When a range of IP addresses is used during the
IDPA configuration, the IP addresses are assigned in a standard order. Optionally, discrete IP
addresses can be assigned manually to each functional component.
<LAC>
is a unique
Of these 13 IP addresses, two are required for the initial network configuration; one for the ACM
and the other for the ESXi server. After the initial network configuration is successful, the IPs for
the other components can be configured using a range of 11 IP addresses. If a range of IPs is not
available, users can also set random IPs of the same subnet to the components.
Use the following table to determine which IP address is allocated to a component. The
Allocation
(first column in the table) is the value that you should add to the first IP address in the
