Introduction to the DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide 1 About the DR Series System CLI Documentation This topic introduces the concept of using the Dell DR Series system command line interface (CLI) method for managing your data backups, performing a variety of data storage operations, and using containers to meet your backup and replication storage needs.
NOTE: Always check for the latest documentation and document updates at dell.com/support/home and select your specific DR Series system. Read any document updates first because they often supersede information in other documents. NOTE: Read the release notes first because they contain the most recently documented information about features and known issues for a specific product release.
Introducing the DR Series System 2 The DR Series system is a high-performance, disk-based backup and recovery appliance that is simple to deploy and manage. NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, later references to "the system" or "DR Series system" are used interchangeably to represent the Dell DR Series system. Using Dell deduplication and compression algorithm technology, a DR Series system can achieve data reduction levels ranging from 10:1 to 15:1.
• DR4100 system—which consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a modified Dell R720xd appliance platform. • DR6000 system—which consists of preinstalled DR Series system software on a modified Dell R720xd appliance platform. • DR2000v system— which is a Virtual Appliance template that can run on a VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-v server. Many CLI commands are not applicable to the DR2000v and are noted in this guide.

• 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.
ost --update_client --name --mode Description Updates the attributes of an OST client (OST client name and mode). The OST client modes are auto, passthrough, and dedupe. If an OST client has four or more CPU cores, it is considered to be dedupe-capable. However, the OST client operating mode depends upon how it is configured in the DR Series system. • Auto — Sets the mode to dedupe or passthrough as determined by the media server.

Maintaining the DR Series System 4 This topic introduces the CLI commands that are useful for collecting diagnostics information, and managing the filesystem and performing system maintenance-related tasks. These CLI commands are grouped into two categories: • The Diagnostics command and its options are used to collect DR Series system log file information. For more information, see Diagnostics. • The Maintenance command and its options are used to perform filesystem and system maintenance.
Diagnostics Command Usage This topic introduces the diagnostics command usage: • diagnostics --show • diagnostics --collect [options] • diagnostics --delete [options] • diagnostics --copy [options] • diagnostics --start-service • diagnostics --help NOTE: If you specify a command without supplying the expected value or option, you will be prompted to provide the correct value or option.
Service(s) "ofsck" failed diagnostics --collect Description Generates a new diagnostics log file that represents the current state of a DR Series system. This command option is only available in the CLI. The resulting bundle has subsets of log files and cores (if they exist) but does not include a DSET report. A DSET can be obtained with the entire bundle by using the --all option, or separately by using the --dset option.

Data Integrity Checking 6 The DR Series system design includes an online data integrity verification feature known as Data Check, which checks for potential or unexpected data inconsistencies in the data store associated with the internal system deduplication engine. Data Check performs a series of checks for unexpected data inconsistencies as early as possible in the data ingest and backup process.
five minutes when the other DR Series system operations are idle. For more information, see About Data Check and Continuous Data Verification Scans. Continuous Data Verification Scans Data Check performs a data verification scan, also known as a blockmap scan, which cycles every two hours through all of the objects in the data store.
Data Check: Blockmap Scan Option The blockmap scan option identifies a specific mapping of data contained within a block, with a block being a structured form of data that the DR Series system can identify. You can choose to enable or disable the Data Check blockmap scan based on the command option you select. Data Check: All Data Scan Option The All scan option is one of three options that can be selected for DR Series system data scan operations.
system --datacheck --disable Disables one or both Data Check scan option types that can be used on a DR Series system. You can individually disable namespace or blockmap scan options, or both options using the all scan option (which means that both the namespace and blockmap scan types will be disabled). Description Disables an individual Data Check scan option type (or both scan types) when used in a DR Series system CLI command.
Result Data Check configuration successful: throttle set to 75%. system --help datacheck Description Displays the list of system --datacheck related options that can be used as a reference when using the DR Series system CLI.
