NOTE: For general information about creating DR Series system containers, see Creating Containers, and for creating an OST connection type container, see Creating an OST or RDS Connection Type Container.
 
NOTE: The capacity option in this command example sets the quota on the LSU. This is the maximum number of bytes (ignoring optimization) that can be written to an LSU and it is listed in the gigabytes (GB). If the capacity option is not specified (or if 0 is specified for the capacity), then the LSU will not have a quota. If this is the case, then this means that the amount of data that can be written to the LSU is limited only by the amount of free space on the disk.

Before you can start the installation process for the RDA with OST plug-in, you need to understand its role. The plug-in must be installed on to the media server type you choose. (For details on supported platforms, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide.) The RDA with OST plug-in software enables integration between DR Series system data storage operations and the supported data management applications (DMAs).

Understanding the RDA with OST Plug-In (Linux)

The plug-in must be installed on the designated Linux-based media server running the support Linux server operating system software in the following directory: /usr/openv/lib/ost-plug-ins. The RDA with OST plug-in is installed using a self-extracting installer that installs the plug-in and all of its related components. The installer supports the following modes, with the default being Help (-h):

 
NOTE: If no option is selected, the Help mode is displayed by default.
•
Help (-h)
•
Install (-install)
•
Upgrade (-upgrade)
•
Uninstall (-uninstall)
•
Force (-force)
$> ./DellOSTPlugin-xxxxx-x86_64.bin -help
Dell plug-in installer/uninstaller

NOTE: The RDA with OST plug-in must be installed on client systems to support client-side deduplication.

Understanding the RDA with OST Plug-In (Windows)

The RDA with OST plug-in must be installed in the following directory on the designated Windows-based media server running the supported Microsoft Windows server operating system software: $INSTALL_PATH\VERITAS\Netbackup\bin\ost-plug-ins for NetBackup installations, and $INSTALL_PATH\Symantec\Backup Exec\bin\ for Backup Exec installations. After it is downloaded, you can use SETUP to install the RDA with OST plug-in.
