To make sure that all key components of your Data Domain system installation are compatible with this version of DD OS, you can access Data Domain software compatibility information at this website.

Data Domain maintains an active program of testing software and hardware that are used with Data Domain systems.

For example, if you are using an incompatible version of NetWorker with DDBoost and upgrade to DD OS 6.1, NetWorker may not be able to backup or access the data.

It may not be compatible with any third-party software or hardware currently in use at your installation and may prevent your Data Domain system from interoperating with those software applications and hardware devices. It also affects the array of software applications and hardware devices on which your backup and recovery activities rely.

Upgrading the Data Domain Operating System (DD OS) on a Data Domain system affects more than the Data Domain system itself.

Check if the upgrade will create compatibility issues:.

Additionally please consult the knowledge base article General Data Domain Operating System Upgrade Instruction for a step by step guide in upgrading the DD OS.
