system --marker [--enable]

Description

Enables the marker detection status for all supported backup software on a DR Series system. For example, the DR
Series system supports specific versions of data management application (DMA) software like NetBackup version 6.5
and 7.1, Backup Exec 2010 and 2012, and Veeam 5.7 and 6.0. For a complete list of the supported DMAs, see the

Dell DR

Series System Interoperability Guide

.

Syntax

system --marker --enable

Result

Successfully enabled system marker.

system --add_storage --enclosure <service tag>

Description

Adds a data storage expansion shelf (enclosure) to a DR Series system. Each expansion shelf that is added to a DR
Series system requires an individual service tag and a license. For details about the maximum allowable expansion
shelves and their capacities, see the

Dell DR Series System Administrator Guide

at

dell.com/support/manuals

.

NOTE: The 300 Gigabyte (GB) drive capacity (2.7 TB) version of the DR Series system does not support the addition
of expansion shelf enclosures.

For more information about the required licenses, see

system --show [--license] [--verbose]

and

system --license [--

validate] [--add]

.

NOTE: The recommended process for adding an expansion shelf enclosure involves the following tasks:

Use the system --license [--validate] [--add] command to validate and install the license for the expansion

shelf enclosure. For specific information, see

system --license [--validate] [--add]

.

Power off (if needed) the Dell MD1200 storage array, physically connect the expansion shelf enclosure to the

base DR Series system, and power on the expansion shelf enclosure.

Use the system --add_storage --enclosure <service tag> command .

NOTE: Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal
drive slot capacity (0–11). Because 1 TB drives are the smallest one supported by the expansion shelf enclosure
you add, the 600 Gigabyte (GB) DR Series system needs to use 1 TB or larger sized drives in any expansion shelf
enclosure added to the base system.

NOTE: To verify the current types of storage on a DR Series system, use the DR Series system CLI command:
system --show --storage. For more information, see

system --show [--storage]

.
