Seeding from a Dell™ DR Series System to an External Device | August 2014

If the status is shown as ‘Paused (Device full),’ then the share has no more space to copy the data.
The device must be removed (using the commands, “seed –stop” and “seed –

remove_device

”) and a new device with free space can be added (using the command, seed –

add_device

). This scenario occurs when more devices are available, and seeding has to be

continued. Adding a new device without deleting the job would continue to copy the data from
where it was left. You can execute the command, “seed –start” to continue.

The type of information in the output of the command, “seed –stats,” looks similar to the
following example.


7. If seeding must be stopped for some time, or the device must be removed, you can execute the

following command to stop all I/O to the seeding device.

seed –stop

8. You can enter the following command to remove the device from the DR Series system to which

the seed data has been written. It is recommended that you execute the command, seed –stop
before removing the device.

seed –remove_device
