vRanger 7.8.6 - Integration Guide for Quest QoreStor

Removing a Quest Rapid Data Access (RDA) repository

The process for removing a Quest Rapid Data Access (RDA) repository is the same as removing any other repository type.

To remove a Quest Rapid Data Access (RDA) repository:
1
In the My Repositories pane, right-click the Quest Rapid Data Access (RDA) repository, and select Remove.
The Remove Repository dialog box appears, showing the savepoints in the selected repository.
When removing a repository, you have the option of keeping the savepoints on disk or deleting them. If replication is configured for this repository, you are also given the option to delete the savepoints in the replicated repository.
2
Select Delete all savepoints in this repository.
 
* 
CAUTION: This step deletes the savepoints from the repository disk, not just the vRanger database. Exercise caution when deleting savepoints.
3
To delete the savepoints in a replicated repository, select Delete all savepoints in replication repository.
4
Click OK.
5
When the Delete Savepoints dialog box appears, click OK.
The savepoints are deleted.

Adding QoreStor as a CIFS repository

 
* 
NOTE: Adding QoreStor as a CIFS repository does not take advantage of the full function of QoreStor. Quest recommends adding QoreStor as an RDA repository.
To add QoreStor as a CIFS repository:
1
In the My Repositories pane, right-click anywhere, and click Add > Windows Share (CIFS).
2
In the Add Windows Network Share Repository dialog box, complete the following fields:
•
Repository Name: Enter a name for the repository.
•
Description: [Optional] Enter a long-form description for the repository.
•
User Name and Password: Enter the credentials for accessing the CIFS share.
•
Security Protocol: Select a protocol, NTLM (default) or NTLMv2.
•
Server: Enter the UNC path to the applicable repository directory. Alternatively, you may enter a partial path and click Browse to find the target directory.
 
* 
NOTE: You must enter a valid username and password before using the browse functionality.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Do not select Encrypt all backups to this repository. Using encryption or compression with deduplicated repositories limits or disables deduplication. Encryption and compression should not be used with any repository type that provides deduplication.
3
Click OK.
The connection to the repository is tested and the repository is added to the My Repositories pane and the Repository Information dialog box.
vRanger checks the configured repository location for existing manifest data to identify existing savepoints.
4
If vRanger finds existing savepoints, click the applicable button:
•
Import as Read-Only: To import all savepoint data into the vRanger database, but only for restores, click this button. You cannot back up data to this repository.
•
Import: To import all savepoint data into the vRanger database, click this button. vRanger is able to use the repository for backups and restores. vRanger requires read and write access to the directory.
•
Overwrite: To retain the savepoint data on the disk and not import it into vRanger, click this button. vRanger ignores the existence of the existing savepoint data and treats the repository as new.
5
Click Next.

Adding QoreStor as an NFS repository

 
* 
NOTE: Adding QoreStor as a Network File System (NFS) repository does not take advantage of the full function of QoreStor. Quest recommends adding QoreStor as an RDA repository.
To add QoreStor as an NFS repository:
1
In the My Repositories pane, right-click anywhere, and click Add > NFS.
2
In the Add Network File Share Repository dialog box, complete the following fields:
•
Repository Name: Enter a descriptive name for the repository.
•
Description: [Optional] Enter a long-form description for the repository.
•
DNS Name or IP: Enter the IP or FQDN for the repository.
•
Export Directory: Specify the export directory, which is similar in concept to a network share. You must create a target subdirectory in the export directory.
•
Target Directory: Enter a subdirectory of the NFS export directory. This directory is the location to which savepoints are written.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Do not select Encrypt all backups to this repository. Using encryption or compression with deduplicated repositories limits or disables deduplication. Encryption and compression should not be used with any repository type that provides deduplication.
3
Click OK.
The connection to the repository is tested and the repository is added to the My Repositories pane and the Repository Information dialog box.
vRanger checks the configured repository location for existing manifest data to identify existing savepoints.

If vRanger finds existing savepoints, click the applicable button:
•
Import as Read-Only: To import all savepoint data into the vRanger database, but only for restores, click this button. You cannot back up data to this repository.
•
Import: To import all savepoint data into the vRanger database, click this button. vRanger is able to use the repository for backups and restores. vRanger requires read and write access to the directory.
•
Overwrite: To retain the savepoint data on the disk and not import it into vRanger, click this button. vRanger ignores the existence of the existing savepoint data and treats the repository as new.

Maintaining QoreStor

Setting up the QoreStor Cleaner

Performing scheduled disk space reclamation operations are recommended as a method for recovering disk space from system containers in which files were deleted as a result of deduplication. The best method is to schedule a time when you can run the Cleaner on your QoreStor system with no other planned processes running. Alternately, another method lets the Cleaner process run whenever it determines that there are no active data ingests.

 
To schedule Cleaner operations on your system:
1
On the navigation menu, click System Configuration .In the Cleaner Schedule pane, click Edit Schedule.
The schedule lists a Start Time and End Time for each day of the week.
2
For any day on which you do not want the Cleaner to run, click Remove in the Action colum.
3
For remaining days, edit the Start Time and End Time to set the Cleaner window.
4
Click Submit.
* 
NOTE: Even if no Cleaner schedule is set, but the system detects that there is disk space that can be reclaimed, the Cleaner process runs. However, the Cleaner will not start until the following conditions are met: it detects that there are no active data ingests, that two minutes of system idle time have elapsed since the last data file ingest was completed, and that the Replication process is not running (the Cleaner process runs as a lower system priority operation than the Replication process).

Quest recommends that you do not schedule the running of any Cleaner operations during the same time period when replication or ingest operations are running. Failure to follow this practice affects the time required to complete the system operations and impacts your QoreStor performance.
