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.

replication --help Description Displays the list of all replication-related options that can be used as a reference when using the DR4000 system CLI.
For command-specific help, please type replication --help For example: replication --help show Seed The DR Series system seed operations allow for exporting data on the source to a portable seed device to then import the seed data to a primary target, and, if required, a secondary target as well. Replication seeding is an alternative to using network bandwidth for the initial re-synchronization of the source and target(s).
• seed --help seed --create --op [--enc_type ] Description Creates a seed export job on the source DR. The command will prompt for a password, and this password will be requested on the target to import the data. The command allows you to specify the type of encryption that will be used to encrypt the data on the seed device.
NOTE: You should run the seeding cleaner only when the system is idle and no ingests or replications tasks are in progress. When the seeding cleaner is run during replication, for example, there is a chance of missing data during the seeding process. However, this data will eventually be sent during resync. Syntax seed --cleanup Result Successfully added seed ZL logs to cleaner queue seed --create --op [--enc_type ] Description Execute the import steps on the target DR.
Username Domain :administrator :testad.acme.local Job info ======== Operation Status Container Encryption type :Export :Started :acme-container1 :aes256 seed --start Description Starts the seeding job. You will be prompted to add additional devices if a single device does not have enough space. Syntax seed --start Result Successfully started seed job. stats --seed Description Use to monitor the seeding progress.
Schedule A schedule is the means by which you set aside specific daily or weekly time periods for performing disk space reclamation or replication operations. Disk reclamation operations recover unused disk space from DR Series system containers in which files were deleted; replication operations are the process by which the key data is saved only once from multiple devices to minimize excessive or redundant storage of the same data.

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. Syntax system --help datacheck --datacheck - Displays statistics for online data verification.
