• DR Series system GUI, displaying the Clients page
These sources display information about the connected and configured clients. For example, when a system is
connected to multiple times, these sources show the number of connections to that client and the mode. You can also
change the mode from dedupe to the other supported modes. When this is done the displayed mode will change, but any
active connections will remain. There are essentially two possible modes: Dedupe and Passthrough. To verify the
current mode of an OST client, you can check these two sources of client statistics:
• DR Series system CLI, using the stats --container --name command
• DR Series system GUI, displaying the Container Statistics page
In the Container Statistics page, click the Client Statistics tab (under Connection Type: OST) to display the Client
Statistics table. If the Network Savings level in this table displays some savings and the displayed Bytes Ingested value
is different from the displayed Bytes Transferred, this indicates that the OST clients are working in the Dedupe mode. If
not, this indicates that the OST containers are working in the Passthrough mode.

ost --delete_client --name <OST Client Hostname>
Description

is established between the client and the DR Series system, the default OST connection settings will be used. Deleting
an OST client using this CLI command does not affect data already written to the DR Series system.
Syntax
ost --delete_client --name acme-99
Result
Successfully deleted OST client acme-99.
