Adding the Dell FluidFS NAS

You can configure the Dell FluidFS to use one or more NAS Cluster IP addresses. When you add the Dell NAS Server to the Plug-in for NDMP, use any one of the NAS Cluster IP addresses.

Add Devices in NetVault Backup

On the NetVault Backup Server machine, add the library attached to the filer to the NetVault Backup Server to configure using the local topology. Ensure that the devices added are relative to the FluidFS.

To add a device, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
