rda --update_client --name <RDA Client Hostname> --mode <auto| passthrough| dedupe>

operating mode depends upon how it is configured in the DR Series system. For details, see ost --update_client --name

<OST Client Hostname> --mode <auto|passthrough|dedupe>.

Syntax

rda --update_client --name <RDA Client Hostname> --mode <auto|passthrough|

dedupe>

For example, to update the client mode as passthrough for the BabuK-W2K8-02 client, run the command: rda --

update_client --name BabuK-W2K8-02 --mode passthrough

Result

Rapid Data Access (RDA) client BabuK-W2K8-02 with mode Pass-through added
