About the DR Series system CLI documentation
Introduction to the DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide > About the DR Series system CLI documentation
This document provides information about using the DR Series system command line interface (CLI) for managing your data backups, performing a variety of data storage operations, and using containers to meet your backup and replication storage needs.
|
|
NOTE: The DR Series system CLI provides one method for managing the DR Series system, with the other being the DR Series system graphical user interface (GUI). In some instances, the DR Series system CLI might provide additional features and options that are not available in the DR Series system GUI and vice versa. |
Other information you may need
The following table lists the documentation available for the DR Series systems. The documents listed are available at support.quest.com/DR-Series by selecting your specific DR Series system. For more information about DR Series system hardware, see the safety and regulatory information that shipped with your DR Series system. Warranty information might be included as a separate document.
| Document | Description |
|---|---|
| DR Series System Getting Started Guide | Provides an overview of how to set up the physical DR Series system hardware and includes technical specifications. |
| DR Series System Owner's Manual | Provides information about applicable physical DR Series system features, troubleshooting the DR Series system, and installing or replacing the DR Series system components. |
| DR2000v Deployment Guide | Provides information about deploying the virtual DR Series system, DR2000v, on supported virtual platforms. |
| DR Series System Administrator Guide | Provides information about managing backup and replication operations using the DR Series system GUI. |
| DR Series System Interoperability Guide |

NOTE: Always check for the latest documentation updates and release notes at support.quest.com/dr-series, and read the release notes first because they contain the most recently documented information about known issues with a specific product release. |
Locating your system Service Tag
Introduction to the DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide > Locating your system Service Tag
Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag number. You can find the Express Service Code and Service Tag on the front of a DR Series hardware system by pulling out the information tag. You can also find service tag information on the Support page in the DR Series system GUI. Service tag information is useful in routing support calls to the appropriate personnel for resolution.
