I'm not an expert on Dell storage, but from what I know of data domain is that it doesn't support the S3 protocol e.g. you can't configure a data domain as a cloud storage target and storage accelerator only works with cloud libraries.

Hi,
our documentation states that we can do this: https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/data_domain_boost_client.html

Kind Regards
