StorageGuard collects configuration data from Dell EMC Data Domain systems by running read-only DD OS commands over a secure SSH session.

The following table lists the requirements for scanning Dell EMC Data Domain systems:


#	Description
1	Provide the network name or IP address of each Data Domain storage system.
2	Provide an array user account (and password) for each Data Domain storage system.
3	The user account should be assigned with an unlimited read-only role, capable of running all “show” and “status” DD OS commands. Examples of read-only commands used: user show detailed adminaccess option show ddboost option show
4	Verify that IP connectivity through SSH (default is port 22) is available between the StorageGuard server and each Data Domain System.
