3.

In Container Name, type the name of the container.
Container names cannot exceed 32 characters in length, must start with a letter, and can be composed of any
combination of the following characters:

A-Z (uppercase letters)

a-z (lowercase letters)

0-9 (numbers). Do not start a container name with a number.

dash (-) or underscore (_) special characters

NOTE: The DR Series system does not support the use of the following special characters in container
names: /, #, or @.

4.

In Marker Type, select the appropriate marker that supports your DMA.

None — Disables marker detection for the container.

Auto — Automatically detects CommVault, Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), ARCserve, and HP Data Protector
marker types. In addition, select this option if you need to support EMC Networker 2.0.

Networker — Supports EMC Networker 3.0. If you need to support EMC Networker 2.0, select Auto.

Unix Dump — Supports the Amanda marker, among others.

BridgeHead — Supports the BridgeHead HDM marker.

Improper marker selection can result in non-optimal savings. As a best practice, if you have only one type of DMA
with traffic directed to a container, it is best to select the marker type that supports your DMA (for example,
BridgeHead, Auto, or another). Conversely, as a best practice, if you have traffic from a DMA that is not one of the
supported marker types, it is best to disable marker detection for the container by selecting the None marker type.

NOTE: If you have the DR6000 and plan to use Rapid NFS with your container, set the marker to None in this
step. After you complete this procedure, specify the marker for your DMA using the Mount -o command on
the client (after installing the Rapid NFS plug-in). For details, see Installing the Rapid NFS Plug-In.

5.

In Connection Type, select NFS/CIFS.
This displays the following in the NFS and CIFS panes:

NFS access path: <

system name

>/containers/<

container name

>

CIFS share path: <

system name

>\<

container name

>

NOTE: To create an NFS connection type, skip to step 6. To create a CIFS connection type, skip to step 10.

6.

To select an NFS connection type, click Enable NFS in the NFS pane.
The Client Access, NFS Options, and Map root to panes are displayed, and is where you configure this container to
use NFS to backup Unix or Linux clients.

7.

In the Client Access pane, define a specific NFS client (or all clients) that can access the NFS container or manage

clients who can access this container:

To allow open access for all clients to the NFS container you create, select Open Access (all clients have

access). When you select this setting, this action removes the Add client (IP or FQDN Hostname) and Clients

text boxes. Select this check box

only

if you want to enable access for all clients to this NFS container.

To define a specific client that can access the NFS container you create, type the IP address (or its FQDN

hostname) in the Add clients (IP or FQDN Hostname) text box, and click Add. The “added” client appears in the

Clients list box.

To delete an existing client from the NFS Clients list box, select the IP address (or FQDN hostname) of the client

you want to delete, and click Remove. The “deleted” client disappears from the list box.
