This topic describes how to monitor and navigate to multiple DR systems in your enterprise using the Global View feature, which provides a real-time view of multiple DR systems in your enterprise.

 
 

About Global Views

About Global Views

The Global View is a dashboard that provides a holistic picture of all DR Series systems added to it, making it easy to monitor and manage remote systems. For example, suppose you are an administrator in a headquarters office with a DR Series system. You have three branch offices, each with two DR units that replicate to the headquarters office. You can use Global View to monitor all of the branch office units (as well as your headquarters unit) on a single page. A drop-down list and links provide easy navigation to any DR system in the view.

Following are tips and constraints for using Global View:

For streamlined navigation, your location in the GUI is saved when you navigate between DR systems in the dashboard. For example, suppose you are on the Software Upgrade page in one DR system. When you navigate to another DR system from the Global View page, the Software Upgrade page of the new DR system appears.
•
The Global View dashboard on a DR Series system is local to that system; the Global View information is maintained in a physical file on the system. If the machine goes down or is otherwise unavailable, the Global View is unavailable. In addition, if a factory refresh is performed on the machine, the Global View information will be lost and you must re-add the machines to the Global View dashboard.
•
You can define an identical Global View on another DR system in your domain to serve as a backup if the DR system that contains the original Global View is down or otherwise unavailable. For example, suppose you have three DR Series systems: A, B, and C. All of these are on the same Active Directory Services (ADS) domain and have identical login credentials. You log in to DR Series system A, and on its Global View page, you add DR Series systems B and C (resulting in A, B, and C being in the view). Then you log in to DR Series system B and add A and C to its Global View page (also resulting in A, B, and C being in the view).
•
You cannot import or export a Global View dashboard configuration. To create a Global View, you must manually define it by adding machines to the Global View dashboard. For details, see Adding a DR Series System to Global View .
•
The DR2000v is able to be monitored in Global View by the hardware DR Series appliances to which is it registered.
 
NOTE: If you are using Internet Explorer 10, it is recommended that you disable the pop-up blocker to allow DR units to open in new browser windows when you navigate to them within Global View.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Adding a Login Group in an ADS Domain

The Global View feature is available on all DR Series systems that have version 3.0.0.1 (or newer) software installed. The system to which you are currently logged in is automatically included by default in the Global View page; however, any other systems must be explicitly added. For details, see Adding a DR Series System to Global View.

Following are the prerequisites that must be met in order to successfully add and view your DR Series systems in the Global View page.

•
All DR Series systems must have the same version of 3.x software installed. Systems running older software versions cannot be added to the Global View page.
•
All DR Series systems must be in the same Active Directory Services (ADS) domain, in the same login group, and have identical login credentials. This includes the system to which you are currently logged in. For details, see the procedures that follow.
•
When you use Global View, you must log in to the DR Series system using your domain credentials; for example, you must log in as DOMAIN\Administrator instead of Administrator.

Configuring Active Directory Settings

Configuring Active Directory Settings

You need to configure the Active Directory setting to direct your DR Series system to join or leave a domain that contains a Microsoft Active Directory Service (ADS). To join an ADS domain, complete steps 1 through 4 in the following procedure (to leave an ADS domain, skip to step 5). When you join the DR Series system to an ADS domain, this disables the Network Time Protocol (NTP) service and instead uses the domain-based time service.

NOTE: If you use the command line interface (CLI) to join the DR Series system into the domain, you might notice that Global View contains multiple, unnecessary entries. Dell recommends that you use the DR Series system GUI (and not CLI commands) for Global View related operations, including domain join/leave.

To configure the DR Series system for a domain using ADS, complete the following:

1.
Select System Configuration > Active Directory.
The Active Directory page is displayed.
 
NOTE: If you have not yet configured ADS settings, an informational message is displayed in the Settings pane in the Active Directory page.
2.
Click Join on the options bar.
The Active Directory Configuration dialog is displayed.
3.
Type the following values in the Active Directory Configuration dialog:
◦
In Domain Name (FQDN), type a fully qualified domain name for the ADS; for example, AD12.acme.com. (This is a required field.)
 
NOTE: Supported domain names are limited to 64 characters in length and can only consist of a combination of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and three special characters: a dash (-), a period (.), and an underscore (_).
◦
In Username, type a valid user name that meets the user name guidelines for the ADS. (This is a required field.)
 
NOTE: Supported user names are limited to 64 characters in length and can only consist of a combination of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and three special characters: a dash (-), a period (.), and an underscore (_).
◦
In Password, type a valid password that meets the password guidelines for the ADS. (This is a required field.)
◦
In Org Unit, type a valid organizational name that meets the organization name guidelines for the ADS. (This is an optional field.)
4.
Click Join Domain to configure your system with these ADS settings (or click Cancel to display the Active Directory page).
The Successfully Configured dialog is displayed when successful.
 
NOTE: If you configure CIFS container share paths, these will be displayed in a CIFS Container Share Path pane in the Active Directory page.
5.
To leave an ADS domain, click Leave in the Active Directory page.
The Active Directory Configuration dialog is displayed.
6.
Leaving the configured ADS domain requires that you enter the following:
a.
In Username, enter a valid user name for the ADS domain.
b.
In Password, enter a valid password for the ADS domain.
7.
Click Leave Domain to direct your DR Series system to leave the ADS domain (or click Cancel to display the Active Directory page).
The Successfully Configured dialog is displayed when successful.
