Data Domain getting filled up and it is taking more than a day to clean up..

Add more disks

Seriously, identify what is filling up and if any of that data is not good de-dupe candidate - perhaps you can move that somewhere else.  In what way you are using DD?  With what applications?

You didn't mention the backup software that you're using, but if you're using networker and you have networker encryption turned on turn it off and turn on data domain encryption.  When we first put out dd in we had networker encryption turned on and it ate all our space in a very short amount of time.

Hi,

We have DD7200 with 95TB capacity. We have the same issue where the file system clean up takes more than a day.

We are using With Symantec Netbackup -With DD Boost..

PLease advise if there is anything to be checked for fatser file system clean up

You (both) didn't say which DDOS you run.  From version to version (at least on major code level) enhancements are added so it might be you run older code - just one place to check.  Second, you can check how long cleanup run took based on phases and have ticket with EMC to inspect why would this run so much. 95TB is not much and I would expect to run it below 1 day for sure (especially on DD7200).

Sokundu,

My name is Patrick Betts and I'm with DataDomain Support.  If you would like to send me the serial number of the affected system, I will look at the latest AutoSupports (if we receive them) and let you know if I find any issues and/or if I think you should open a case with us.  Same to you ganesh1268. 

Please email me directly at lawrence.betts@emc.com

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the reply.

I think it will be helpful for you.

ganesh1268,

I responded to you as well yesterday.  We're not receiving AutoSupports from this system anymore.  As I stated in my email, if it's still under support, please open an SR and send me the number.  Thanks in advance.
