Clients Page (Using the iSCSI Tab)

On the Clients page (Storage > Clients), click the iSCSI tab. On this tab, you can view the following information for iSCSI clients.

Number of current iSCSI sessions active — The number of currently active iSCSI sessions.
•
Container Name — The container name for each iSCSI VTL container.
•
Container IQN — The iSCSI Qualified Name for each iSCSI VTL container..
•
Initiators Connected — The initiators connected to this iSCSI VTL container..

On this tab, you can also set or change the CHAP password for the CHAP account.

To do so, click Edit CHAP Password.

Creating Storage Containers

Creating Storage Containers

Creating a Virtual Tape Library (VTL) Type Container
Creating an OST or RDS Connection Type Container

By default, the DR Series system provides a container named backup for your use after you complete the basic system configuration and initialization process. You can create additional containers to store your data as needed.

 
NOTE: The DR Series system does not support container names that begin with a number.

Containers function like a shared file system that can be accessed using the following connection types:

•
NFS
•
CIFS
•
NDMP (for VTL type containers)
•
iSCSI (for VTL type containers)
•
RDA (Rapid Data Access)
◦
OST (OpenStorage Technology)
◦
RDS (Rapid Data Storage)
•
No Access (an unassigned connection type)

Choosing the No Access or unassigned connection type lets you create containers that can be configured later as needed. To modify a container configured with a No Access connection type, select the container, click Edit, and start configuring it as desired.

Creating an NFS or CIFS Connection Type Container

Creating an NFS or CIFS Connection Type Container

To create an NFS or a CIFS connection type container, complete the following steps:

Select Storage > Containers.
The Containers page is displayed, which includes a Containers summary table listing all existing containers.
2.
Click Create.
The Container Wizard — Create New Container dialog box appears.
3.
For Container Name, type the name of the container, and then click Next.
Container names cannot exceed 32 characters in length, must start with a letter, and can be composed of any combination of the following characters:
◦
A-Z (uppercase letters)
◦
a-z (lowercase letters)
◦
0-9 (numbers). Do not start a container name with a number.
◦
dash (-) or underscore (_) special characters
 
NOTE: The DR Series system does not support the use of the following special characters in container names: /, #, or @.
4.
On the next page of the wizard, for Storage Access Protocol, select NAS (NFS, CIFS), and then click Next.
5.
On the next page of the wizard, next to Enable Access Protocols, select NFS or CIFS as appropriate.
(Use NFS to back up UNIX or LINUX clients. Use CIFS to back up Windows clients.)
6.
For Marker Type, select the appropriate marker that supports your DMA.
◦
None — Disables marker detection for the container.
◦
Auto — Automatically detects CommVault, Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), ARCserve, and HP Data Protector marker types. In addition, select this option if you need to support EMC Networker 2.0.
◦
Networker — Supports EMC Networker 3.0. If you need to support EMC Networker 2.0, select Auto.
◦
Unix Dump — Supports the Amanda marker, among others.
◦
BridgeHead — Supports the BridgeHead HDM marker.
◦
Time Navigator — Supports the Time Navigator marker.
Improper marker selection can result in non-optimal savings. As a best practice, if you have only one type of DMA with traffic directed to a container, it is best to select the marker type that supports your DMA (for example, BridgeHead, Auto, or another). Conversely, as a best practice, if you have traffic from a DMA that is not one of the supported marker types, it is best to disable marker detection for the container by selecting the None marker type.
7.
Click Next.
8.
If you selected NFS as the connection type, configure NFS access as follows.
◦
NFS Options — Defines the type of access to the container. Select one of the following options.
▪
Read Write Access — To allow read-write access to the container.
▪
Read Only Access — To allow read-only access.
◦
Insecure — Select this option to allow replies to be made to requests before the changes in the request are committed to disk.
 
NOTE: The DR Series system always commits writes to NVRAM first before committing any changes to disk.
◦
Map Root To — Select one of the following options from the drop-down list to define the user level you want mapped to this container.
▪
nobody — to specify a user on the system without root access permissions.
▪
root — to specify a remote user with root access to read, write, and access files on the system.
▪
administrator — to specify the system administrator.
◦
Client Access — Define the NFS client(s) that can access the NFS container or manage the clients that can access this container by selecting one of the following options.
▪
Open (allow all clients) — To allow open access for all clients to the NFS container you create. (Select this option only if you want to enable access for all clients to this NFS container.)
▪
Create Client Access List — To define specific clients that can access the NFS container. In the Client FQDN or IP text box, type the IP address (or FQDN hostname) and click Add. The “added” client appears in the allow access clients list box. (To delete an existing client from this list box, select the IP address (or FQDN hostname) of the client you want to delete, and click Remove. The “deleted” client disappears from the list box.)
9.
If you selected CIFS as the connection type, configure CIFS access as follows.
◦
Client Access — Define the CIFS client(s) that can access the container or manage the clients that can access this container by selecting one of the following options.
▪
Open (allow all clients) — To allow open access for all clients to the container you create. (Select this option only if you want to enable access for all clients to this container.)
▪
Create Client Access List — To define specific clients that can access the container. In the Client FQDN or IP text box, type the IP address (or FQDN hostname) and click Add. The “added” client appears in the allow access clients list box. (To delete an existing client from this list box, select the IP address (or FQDN hostname) of the client you want to delete, and click Remove. The “deleted” client disappears from the list box.)
 
NOTE: The DR Series system administrator that manages the system has a different set of privileges than does the CIFS administrator user. Only the DR Series system administrator can change the password for the CIFS administrator user. To change the password that allows access for the CIFS administrator user, use the authenticate --set --user administrator commands. For more information, see the Dell DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide.
10.
Click Next.
A Configuration Summary of the options you selected for creating the container appears.
11.
Click Create a New Container.
A progress dialog box appears and then the Containers page is displayed, with a Successfully Added message. The list of containers in the Containers summary table is now updated with your new container.
