12 Setting Up the Dell™ DR Series System as an NFS Target on Amanda Enterprise 3.3.5
2.2 Creating the storage devices
Before you begin, log on to the Amanda server and add the DR Series system nfs mount. Run the following
commands to use the DR Series system container as a backup target in the Amanda backup server:
mkdir –p /mnt/DR_container_amanda
chmod -R 700 '/mnt/DR_container_amanda'
chown -R amandabackup:disk '/mnt/DR_container_amanda'
mount –t nfs <DR FQDN>:/containers/amanda-src /mnt/DR_container_amanda
Then, follow these steps to create the storage devices.
1. On the Admin tab, under Attached Storage, click Disk/NAS/SAN to add a DR container as a
storage device.
2. Enter the device name and any comments, enter the DR Series container mount point path in the
Root Path field, and then click Add.
After the storage devices are successfully added, you can see the storage device in the list of
backup set devices.
