PCI Cards for Data Domain Systems

NIC Card Replacement
Table 6: Supported cards by model and DD OS version
A system with two Ethernet cards can have four, five or six ports, depending on the type of NICs
installed. For example, a Data Domain system with two 10GbE fiber NICs will only have four ports
(
eth0
,
eth1
,
eth2
, and
eth3
), because 10GbE cards have only one port each. A Data Domain system
with two 1GbE or 10GbE copper NICs or 1GbE fiber NICs will have six ports (
eth0
,
eth1
,
eth2
,
eth3, eth4,
and
eth5
), because those cards have two ports each.
DD OS does not have fixed Ethernet port mapping. All Ethernet ports are sorted by port type and
then by bus number. For example, 1GbE ports will always be listed before 10GbE ports. Slot 6 will
always be listed before slot 5 on DD580, DD580g, and DD565
series.
Note
When the first optional NIC is in slot 5, adding a second NIC card will cause the port
numbers to be changed, except when the first NIC is 1GbE and the second NIC is 10GbE. If
the first optional NIC is in slot 6, adding a second optional NIC in slot 5 will cause the port
names to be changed only if the first NIC is 10GbE and the second NIC is 1GbE.
The following table show the possible port mappings for Ethernet ports 5 and 6:
