Setting up NetVault SmartDisk on the Dell™ DR4X00 Disk Backup Appliance

Smartdisk Home >> foundation >> bin >> smartdisk(.sh/.bat) config --add --gc-window Anytime
Smartdisk Home >> foundation >> bin >> smartdisk(.sh/.bat) config --add --dedupe-window Never

Finally if you are configuring SmartDisk on a CIFS / UNC path hosted on the DR4X00 it is recommended that a block
size of 512000 be set before data protection operations are conducted from the target configuration. In order to set
the block size of the SmartDisk instance run the following command:

Smartdisk Home >> foundation >> bin >> smartdisk(.sh/.bat) config --update –webdav 37453 --block-size 512000

Note: By default the block size is set to 32 and the webdav port to 37543. These settings should be considered when
using the above for reference.
Once the configuration settings have been applied the SmartDisk services should be restarted. Execute the following
command as needed:

Smartdisk Home >> foundation >> bin >> smartdisk(.sh/.bat) restart

The newly configured SmartDisk instance should be ready for use within a given NetVault Backup domain. Verification
of the newly configurated volumes and attributes should be conducted by running the following command:

Smartdisk Home >> foundation >> bin >> smartdisk(.sh/.bat) config --show

Once all settings have been verified and the configuration has been deemed fit for use the SmartDisk instance can
now be added to the NetVault Backup server.
