Configuring networking settings

Configuring networking settings

In the DR Series system GUI, you can view and modify the network settings (for example, if you want to change the settings you configured when you first initialized the system)

To view and modify networking settings, complete the following steps.

1.
In the left navigation menu, click System Configuration > Networking.
The Networking page is displayed.
a.
In the Hostname field, modify the hostname as needed. The hostname entry must meet the following requirements:
c.
Click Save.
a.
In the Edit Interface pane, for IP Mode, select Static (to set static IP addressing for your system) or DHCP (to set dynamic IP addressing for your system).
NOTE: To verify that the destination system can support a specific frame size, use the DR Series system CLI command network --ping --destination <IP address> --size <number of bytes>. For more information, contact Technical Support for assistance.
ALB—Configures adaptive load balancing (ALB), which is the default setting.
802.3ad—Configures dynamic link aggregation using the IEEE 802.ad standard.

Understanding the networking page and Ethernet port values

Understanding the networking page and Ethernet port values

In the DR Series system GUI, the Networking page displays the currently configured multiple Ethernet ports for the DR Series system in the Interfaces list. For 1–Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports in the DR4000 system this could be Eth0, Eth1, Eth2, and Eth3, and in the DR4100 system this could be Eth0, Eth1, Eth2, Eth3, Eth4, and Eth5. For 10-GbE/10-GbE SFP+ NICs, this means that the two ports are bonded together into a single interface. For example, the DR Series system port configuration is as follows:

NOTE: For more information on advanced networking options see the DR Series Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at support.quest.com/dr-series by selecting your specific DR model and then navigating to Technical Documentation.

The ports for bonded NICs display: MAC address, port speed in megabtyes per second (MB/s), maximum speed, and duplex setting. The following example shows Ethernet port values for the four ports in a 1-GbE NIC bonded configuration on a DR4000 system:

Eth0:

Eth1:

Eth2:

Eth3:

Understanding system operation scheduling

Understanding system operation scheduling

By scheduling system operations, you can optimize your system resources and achieve the best possible DR Series system performance. The most important thing to remember when scheduling critical DR Series system operations is that you want to ensure that you perform each of these operations at a time when it will not overlap or interfere with the running of any of the other key system operations.

You should carefully plan and schedule time periods in which to perform the following critical system operations:

In the DR Series system, the main goal in planning and scheduling operations should be to run the Cleaner and Replication operations at times when they do not overlap or interfere with other important system operations. You want to make sure that by properly scheduling and planning, your system can perform each of these key operations independent of the other.

The best practice is to run these two operations during non-standard business hours, so that they do not conflict with any of your other backup or ingest operations.

To view currently scheduled operations and to access the Schedules page to configure system schedules, follow these steps.

On the left navigation menu, click System Configuration > Schedules.

The Schedules page is displayed, showing a daily/hourly calendar representation of currently scheduled operations.

Configuring cleaner schedules

Configuring cleaner schedules

Performing scheduled disk space reclamation operations are recommended as a method for recovering disk space from the system. The recommended method is to schedule a time when you can run the Cleaner on your DR Series system with no other planned processes running.

To schedule cleaner operations on your system, complete the following steps.

1.
On the left navigation menu, click System Configuration > Schedules.

The Schedules page is displayed, showing a weekly/daily calendar representation of currently scheduled operations.

a.
In the Cleaner pane, select a day from the Set Event At Day drop-down list.
b.
In the From and To drop-down lists, select the time (hour) of the day for the cleaner to run.
c.
Click Save.
schedule --add --day <Day of the Week> --start_time <HH:MM> --stop_time <HH:MM> --cleaner
schedule --show --cleaner
schedule --delete --day <Day of the Week> --cleaner

The current Cleaner Status is shown at the top of the Schedules page as one of the three following states:

Pending—displays any scheduled window for the Cleaner operation.
Running—displays when the Cleaner operation is running.
Idle—displayed only if there is no Cleaner operation running.

On the Dashboard page, you can also view a graph of cleaner statistics.

In the Action menu in the upper right corner, click Detailed Graphs, and then click the Cleaner tab.
