Setting Client-Side Optimization
Client-side optimization is a process that can contribute to saving time performing backup operations and reducing the
data transfer overhead on the network.
You can turn On or turn Off client-side optimization (also known as client-side deduplication) using the DR Series system
CLI commands, rda --update_client --name --mode. For more information about DR Series system CLI commands, see
the
Dell DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide , available at support.dell.com/manuals.
Installing the Rapid NFS Plug-In
The Dell Rapid NFS plug-in must be installed on to the media server type you choose (for supported operating systems
and DMAs, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide ). The plug-in software enables integration between DR
Series system data storage operations and the supported data management applications (DMAs). Before you install,
make sure you adhere to the Best Practices covered in another topic in this chapter.
The plug-in must be installed on the designated Linux-based media server in the following directory, /usr/openv/lib/. The
plug-in is installed using a self-extracting installer that installs the Rapid NFS plug-in and all of its related components.
The installer supports the following modes, with the default being Help (-h):
• Help (-h)
• Install (-install)
• Upgrade (-upgrade)
• Uninstall (-uninstall)
• Force (-force)
$> ./DellRapidNFS-xxxxx-xxxxx-x86_64.bin -help
Dell plug-in installer/uninstaller
usage: DellRapidNFS-xxxxx-xxxxx-x86_64.bin [ -h ] [ -install ] [ -uninstall ]
-h : Displays help
-install : Installs the plug-in
-upgrade : Upgrades the plug-in
-uninstall : Uninstalls the plug-in
-force : Forces the installation of the plug-in
You can download the plug-in installer via the Dell website:
• Navigate to support.dell.com/ and locate the Drivers and Downloads location.
