Introduction; Configuration Setup - HP D2D Manual

1 Introduction

CommVault Simpana 9® is an Enterprise Data Protection, Archiving and Content indexing software
solution that works with a wide selection of disk storage devices, physical tape libraries and even
Cloud services. The latest edition (V 9.0) also supports client–side deduplication as a licensable
feature.
This implementation guide focuses on the usage model where CommVault deduplication on the
media server or Client is disabled and the deduplication is performed entirely on the D2D NAS
device using the HP StoreOnce deduplication engine. This approach is known as target-based
deduplication.
The objective of this Implementation Guide is:
To provide step by step instructions on configuring a D2D NAS CIFS device on CommVault
Simpana 9.0
To describe the CommVault Simpana 9.0 Disk Library configuration options and identify what
settings to use with HP D2D NAS CIFS shares.
To describe how to implement a full end–to–end recovery solution from a target D2D device
with D2D NAS CIFS shares using CommVault Simpana 9.0 in two common scenarios.

Configuration Setup

For CommVault terminology used in this document please refer to Appendix A.
This guide assumes a basic working knowledge of CommVault Simpana 9.0 and that it has been
