11 Seeding from a Dell™ DR Series System to an External Device | August 2014
3 Setting up a seeding import job on the target DR Series
system
The seed import process copies the de-duplicated data from the external device provided to the target DR
Series system. The following steps describe the CLI commands you need to enter for the import job on
the target DR Series system.
1. Create a seed import job using the following command.
seed --create --op import
This command requests a password, which is the same password defined at the time of data
export. The password is used to verify and decrypt the data.
2. You can reference the device from which the seed data is to be read by using the following
command. (Note that only the shares exported by the CIFS protocol are recognized.)
seed --add_device --server <server name> --volume <volume> --username
<user name> [--domain <domain name>]
In this command, the parameters are as follows:
• server name - the name of the client that exports the device as a CIFS share.
• volume name - the name of the export share on the target server. The name is case sensitive.
• user name - the credentials needed to access the share. The password is requested separately.
3. Once the device is added successfully, you can cross check the configuration details by using the
following command. This step is recommended before you proceed further.
