Dell PowerVault DR2000v - Manual (Page 135)

6. Create a directory on the client. For example:
mkdir /mnt/backup
7. Mount Rapid NFS as a file system type using the mount command. For example:
mount -t rdnfs 10.222.322.190:/containers/backup /mnt/backup
If you are using a DMA that supports a marker, set the marker by using -o in the mount command. For example, if
you wanted to set the CommVault marker (cv):
mount -t rdnfs 10.222.322.190:/containers/backup /mnt/backup -o marker=cv
NOTE: If you want to do a mount on AIX, you must set the nfs_use_reserved_ports and portcheck parameters
first. The parameters cannot be set to 0. For example: root@aixhost1 / # nfso -po
portcheck=1 root@aixhost1 / # nfso -po nfs_use_reserved_ports=1
To ensure that the plug-in is running successfully, check the log file at: tail -f /var/log/oca/rdnfs.log.
Installing the Rapid CIFS Plug-In
The Dell Rapid CIFS 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.
You can download the plug-in installer using the Dell website:
• Navigate to support.dell.com/ and locate the Drivers and Downloads location.
• Locate the Dell Rapid CIFS plug-in and download it to your system.
After it is downloaded, follow the steps below to run the plug-in installer to install the plug-in on your designated media
server.
NOTE: The plug-in needs to be installed on client systems to support client-side deduplication.
1. On the media server, map a network share to your CIFS-enabled container.
2. Download the plug-in installer from the Dell website, as detailed previously.
3. Open a command prompt with the “Run as Administrator” option selected. To do this using the Windows Start
menu, click Start → All Programs → Accessories. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
This gives all the required privileges to install/copy the driver files to the Windows drivers folder.
4. Run DellRapidCIFS-xxxxx.msi.
5. Follow the installation prompts. All files are installed to Program Files\Dell\Rapid CIFS.
To ensure that the plug-in is running successfully, check the Windows Event log file.
Determining If Your System Is Using Rapid NFS or Rapid CIFS
Use this procedure to identify whether Rapid NFS or Rapid CIFS is installed and enabled on your DR Series system.
Keep in mind that Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS are only available on the DR6000 system.
To determine if your system is using the Rapid NFS or Rapid CIFS accelerator:
1. In the GUI, go to the Dashboard, and then click Container Statistics.
2. In the Container Name drop-down list, select a NFS or CIFS container that is associated with your client.
3. In the Connection Configuration pane of the statistics page, locate the NFS Write Accelerator or CIFS Write
Accelerator field, depending on the protocol selected.
4. Next to the Write Accelerator field is a value. Active indicates that the accelerator plug-in is installed and enabled.
Inactive indicates that the plug-in is not installed or not working correctly.
