The Network page is displayed, which lists all current computers.
2.
In the browser Address bar, click Network to select your DR Series hostname or IP address.
The Network page is displayed, which lists all current storage and replication containers.
 
NOTE: However, if your DR Series system is not listed, you can enter its hostname or IP Address preceded by "https://" and followed by the container name in the Address bar to access it (for example in this format, https://10.10.20.20/container-1). The DR Series system only supports the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) form of IP addressing.
3.
Move data from the source location to the destination container using your regular DMA or backup application process.
 
NOTE: If any file ingested by the DR Series system by a DMA or backup application is renamed or deleted without using the DMA or backup application’s process, the corresponding catalog must be updated accordingly. Failure to do so may prevent the DMA or backup application from being able to access the data.
4.
Verify that the data recently moved now resides in the destination container (or click Dashboard > Container Statistics, select the destination container in the Container Name drop-down list, and view the following information panes for recent container activity:
◦
Backup Data
◦
Throughput
◦

Displaying Container Statistics

Displaying Container Statistics

Displaying Container-Specific Statistics Using the CLI

To display the current statistics for an existing container that stores your data, complete the following:

 
NOTE: An alternate method to display statistics for any current container is to select that container by name in the Container Name drop-down list in the Container Statistics page (Dashboard > Container Statistics).
1.
Select Storage > Containers.
The Containers page is displayed, and the Containers summary table lists all of the current containers in the system.
2.
Click Select to identify the container to display, and click Display Statistics in the options bar.
The Container Statistics page is displayed which shows the current backup data (number of active files and active bytes ingested in the Backup Data pane), and read and write throughput (in the Throughput pane). The system polls for and updates the displayed statistics every 30 seconds.
 
NOTE: To display statistics for another container, select that container by name in the Container Name drop-down list.

This page also displays the marker type and connection type for the selected container, and whether the container is using Rapid CIFS or Rapid NFS (DR6000 only). For more information, see Monitoring Container Statistics.

In addition, you can also display the set of system statistics by using the DR Series system CLI stats --system command to show the following categories of system statistics:

◦
Capacity Used (system capacity used in Gibibytes or GiBs)
◦
Capacity Free (system capacity free in GiBs)
◦
Read Throughput (read throughput rate in Mebibytes or MiB/s)
◦
Write Throughput (write throughput rate in MiB/s)
◦
Current Files (current number of files in system)
◦
Current Bytes (current number of ingested bytes in system)
◦
Post Dedupe Bytes (number of bytes after deduplication)
◦
Post Compression Bytes (number of bytes after compression)
◦
Post Encryption Bytes
◦
Post Encryption Bytes in GiB
◦
Compression Status (current compression status)
◦
Cleaner Status (current space reclamation process status)
◦
Encryption Status
◦
Total Inodes (total number of data structures)
◦

◦
Dedupe Savings (deduplication storage savings by percentage)
◦
Compression Savings (compression storage savings by percentage)
◦
