Introducing the DR Series System

Using Dell deduplication and compression algorithm technology, a DR Series system can achieve data reduction levels ranging from 10:1 to 15:1. This reduction in data results in less incremental storage needs and a smaller backup footprint. By taking advantage of deduplication and compression features and removing redundant data, the system delivers:

  • Fast, reliable backup and restore functionality.
  • Reduced media usage and power and cooling requirements.
  • Improved overall data protection and retention costs.

The benefits of data deduplication can be extended across the enterprise—through the deduplicated replication functionality—to provide a complete backup solution for multi-site environments. The shorter Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and attainable Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) are also assured as critical backup data remains on disk and online longer. Capital and administrative costs are diminished at the same time as internal service level agreements (SLAs) are more easily met.

The DR Series system includes the following features:
  • Advanced data protection and disaster recovery
  • Two management interfaces, a command line interface (CLI) or a system graphical user interface (GUI) for the system software to manage storage containers
  • Wide variety of data backup installations and environments
  • A simple installation process that provides full, intuitive remote setup and management capabilities

The system is available in many drive capacities to fit SMB, enterprise, and remote office environments. For details, see DR Series System Drive and System Capacities.

The DR Series system CLI provides the means for managing the status, data capacity, storage savings, and throughput of data containers.

Note: An online data verification or data-checking feature called Data Check is enabled by default on the Dell DR Series system. For more information about Data Check, see Data Integrity Checking.

This Dell DR Series system CLI documentation assumes that the DR Series system has been deployed in its network location, and it is ready to be accessed using the DR Series system CLI commands.

DR Series System Drive and System Capacities

The internal system drive capacity and available physical capacities of the DR Series system vary, depending on your system type (DR4000, DR4100, etc.) and drives installed. For details, see the Dell DR Series System Release Notes and the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide.

Accessing the DR Series System CLI Commands

  1. Launch a terminal emulation application and start the process for logging in to the DR Series system.
  2. In Host Name (or IP address), type the host name or IP address for the DR Series system, and click Open.
  3. At the system prompt, enter the username for the Administrator:
    • Type administrator
    • Press <Enter>
  4. At the administrator password prompt, enter the password for the Administrator (the default is St0r@ge!):
    • Type St0r@ge!
    • Press <Enter>
    The DR Series system administrator prompt is displayed.
  5. At the administrator prompt, type help.
    The DR Series system CLI commands are displayed. For more information, see the section DR Series System CLI Commands Overview.

DR Series System CLI Commands Overview

Note: The DR Series system Administrator account only provides access to the DR Series system CLI commands listed in this section. There is no access to Linux commands other than grep or more from the DR Series system command line with the Administrator account.
