OST Command Usage

This topic introduces the ost command usage:

ost --show [--config] [--file_history] [--name <name>] [--active_files] [--name <name>] [--clients] [--limits]

Description

Displays the current OpenStorage Technology (OST) configuration information for a DR Series system. Parameter are described as follows:

Syntax

Result

NOTE: To display other types of OST configuration information, substitute the --file_history, --name <name>, or --clients options in the DR Series system CLI command.

Other Examples

Display the last 10 replicated files that were processed via the DMA optimized duplication process for an OST container (in this example, the container is “ost.”) by running the following:

ost --show --file_history --name ost
Data replication history:
File Peer IP Peer ID Savings Bytes Throughput Replicated At: Encryption
/1481068800/w1 10.250.240.232 10 100.00% 107374182400Bytes 1075139KiB/s 2016-12-07 07:58:19 None

Display the OST clients, by running the command: ost --show --clients

NOTE: The displayed output when using the DR Series system CLI ost --show --clients command could indicate a fourth type of mode value. Depending upon the client, this value would normally display Auto, Dedupe, or Passthrough. However, you could potentially display a mode value of Mixed, which indicates that you had changed the mode using the DR Series system CLI while the client is still connected.

To verify the current state of an OST client, you can check these two sources:

DR Series system CLI, using the ost --show --clients command

These sources display information about the connected and configured clients. For example, when a system is connected to multiple times, these sources show the number of connections to that client and the mode. You can also change the mode from dedupe to the other supported modes. When this is done the displayed mode will change, but any active connections will remain. There are essentially two possible modes: Dedupe and Passthrough. To verify the current mode of an OST client, you can check these two sources of client statistics:

DR Series system CLI, using the stats --container --name command
DR Series system GUI, displaying the Container Statistics page

In the Container Statistics page, click the Client Statistics tab (under Connection Type: OST) to display the Client Statistics table. If the Network Savings level in this table displays some savings and the displayed Bytes Ingested value is different from the displayed Bytes Transferred, this indicates that the OST clients are working in the Dedupe mode. If not, this indicates that the OST containers are working in the Passthrough mode.

ost --update --opdup_encryption <none | aes128 | aes256>

Description

Syntax

Result

ost --delete_client --name <OST Client Hostname>

Description

The command deletes the OST client and any edits that have been made to its default values. The next time a connection is established between the client and the DR Series system, the default OST connection settings will be used. Deleting an OST client using this CLI command does not affect data already written to the DR Series system.
