20 Setting Up the Dell™ DR Series System as an NFS or CIFS Backup Target on Oracle Recovery Manager® |
April 2015
5 Creating a storage device for Rapid CIFS
5.1 About the Rapid CIFS plugin
Rapid CIFS enables write operation acceleration on clients that use CIFS file system protocols. These
accelerators allow for better coordination and integration between DR Series systems backup, restore, and
optimized duplication operations with Data Management Applications (DMAs) such as CommVault, EMC
Networker, and Tivoli Storage Manager. For a current list of supported DMAs, see the
Dell DR Series
System Interoperability Guide.
Rapid CIFS is a Windows-certified filter driver that ensures that only unique
data is written to the DR Series system. All chunking and hash computations are done at the client level.
5.2 Configure Rapid CIFS
To configure Rapid CIFS on windows operating systems download and install the plugin
DellRapidCIFS-xxxxx.msi on the Oracle server.
Refer to the
Dell DR Series System Administrator’s Guide
for the download location and for more
information.
Below is the output for Rapid CIFS configured backup.
