NVRAM is a field replaceable unit (FRU) in the DR Series system. The super capacitor that powers the NVRAM double-data rate (DDR) memory must be able to move its contents to the solid-state drive (SSD) during a power loss.

This data transfer requires maintaining the power to run the system for 3 minutes of operation (normally, it only takes approximately one minute). If a problem occurs during the data backup to the SSD, the subsequent system reboot detects this. NVRAM can experience backup failure when the following occurs:

If any of these conditions occur, the NVRAM requires either a failure recovery or a replacement.

NVRAM Backup Failure Recovery

NVRAM Backup Failure Recovery

After you have physically replaced the NVRAM card in a PCIe x4 (or x8) slot in the DR Series system chassis, you can recover from an NVRAM backup failure by completing the following tasks:

CAUTION: You must wait a minimum of 20 minutes after powering on the DR Series system before using the DR Series system CLI maintenance --hardware --reinit_nvram command. This 20–minute post power-on waiting period allows the NVRAM card, the super capacitor calibration, and all solid state drive (SSD) processes to fully complete, which are necessary for the proper operation of the DR Series system.

During Maintenance mode, the DR Series system determines, detects, and repairs the data loss. During the system reboot process, it ensures that no valuable data remains on the NVRAM.

1.
Enter the following DR Series system CLI command: maintenance --hardware --reinit_nvram.

NVRAM Field Replacement

NVRAM Field Replacement

Whenever the DR Series system NVRAM is replaced in the field, you must observe this best practice procedure:

CAUTION: You must wait a minimum of 20 minutes after powering on the DR Series system before using the DR Series system CLI command: maintenance --hardware --reinit_nvram. This post power-on waiting period allows the NVRAM card, the super capacitor calibration, and the SSD processes to fully complete, which are necessary for the proper operation of the DR Series system.

Enter the following DR Series system CLI command: maintenance --hardware --reinit_nvram.

Configuring and Using Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS

Configuring and Using Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS

Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS enable write operation acceleration on clients that use NFS and CIFS file system protocols. Similar to OST and RDS, these accelerators allow for better coordination and integration between DR Series system backup, restore, and optimized duplication operations with Data Management Applications (DMAs) such as CommVault, EMC Networker, and Tivoli Storage Manager. For the current list of supported DMAs, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide.

Rapid NFS is a new client file system type that ensures that only unique data is written to the DR Series system. It uses user space components and file system in user space (FUSE) to accomplish this. Metadata operations such as file creates and permission changes go through the standard NFS protocol, whereas write operations go through Rapid NFS.

Rapid CIFS is a Windows-certified filter driver that also ensures that only unique data is written to the DR Series system. All chunking and hash computations are done at the client level.

NOTE: The supported DMAs listed in the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide are the DMAs that have been tested and qualified with Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS. You can use Rapid NFS and Rapid CIFS with other DMAs (such as Symantec products), but Dell has not tested and qualified Rapid NFS or Rapid CIFS on those products.
