Mode Dedupe

NOTE: The displayed output when using the DR Series system CLI ost --show --clients command could indicate a
fourth type of mode value. Depending upon the client, this value would normally display Auto, Dedupe, or
Passthrough. However, you could potentially display a mode value of Mixed, which indicates that you had
changed the mode using the DR Series system CLI while the client is still connected.

NOTE: Be aware that the mode for clients that were connected to the OST media server before configuration
changes might be different that what is shown in the displayed output when using the DR Series system CLI ost --
show --clients command. The configuration changes will be updated and reflect any future connections.

To verify the current state of an OST client, you can check these two sources:

DR Series system CLI, using the ost --show --clients command

DR Series system GUI, displaying the Clients page

These sources display information about the connected and configured clients. For example, when a system is
connected to multiple times, these sources show the number of connections to that client and the mode. You can also
change the mode from dedupe to the other supported modes. When this is done the displayed mode will change, but any
active connections will remain. There are essentially two possible modes: Dedupe and Passthrough. To verify the
current mode of an OST client, you can check these two sources of client statistics:

DR Series system CLI, using the stats --container --name command

DR Series system GUI, displaying the Container Statistics page

In the Container Statistics page, click the Client Statistics tab (under Connection Type: OST) to display the Client
Statistics table. If the Network Savings level in this table displays some savings and the displayed Bytes Ingested value
is different from the displayed Bytes Transferred, this indicates that the OST clients are working in the Dedupe mode. If
not, this indicates that the OST containers are working in the Passthrough mode.
