NOTE: If the DR Series system is joined to a Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS) domain, the Edit option will be disabled (grayed out) and the Mode, Time Zone, or Date and Time values cannot be changed in the Settings pane. This is because whenever a DR Series system is joined to a domain, the Network Time Protocol (NTP) is disabled and the DR Series system uses the domain-based time service. NTP is used in the Mode setting when the DR Series system is part of a workgroup and not joined to a domain. To be able to modify or edit any of the Settings pane values when the DR Series system is joined to an ADS domain, you would first need to leave the ADS domain before you could modify any of the date and time settings. For more information, see Configuring Active Directory Settings. 3. In Mode, select either Manual or NTP. If you select Manual, continue on with the tasks in step 3. If you select NTP, skip to step 4. a. Select Manual. The Edit Date and Time dialog is displayed. b. Click the Time Zone drop-down list and choose the desired time zone. c. Click the Calendar icon (adjacent to Set Date and Time), and select the desired day in the month (the system prevents the selection of unsupported days). d. Adjust the Hour and Minute sliders to the desired time (or click Now to set the date and time to be the current date and time in hours and minutes). a. Click Done. The Edit Date and Time dialog is displayed with your new settings. 4. Select NTP. The Edit Date and Time dialog is displayed. • Click the Time Zone drop-down list and select the desired time. • Edit or revise the NTP servers as desired (you are limited to selecting only three NTP servers). 5. Click Submit (or click Cancel). The Date and Time page is displayed, and an Enabled NTP service dialog is displayed when successful (and this was your selected mode). Understanding Containers After initialization, the DR Series system contains a single default container named backup for storing backup data. You can create additional containers as needed for storing your data. For more information about creating storage containers, see Creating Storage Containers. Containers function like a shared file system. These types of containers can be assigned a specific type of connection type, for example, NFS/CIFS or RDA (includes both OST and RDS clients) depending on the type of container. These containers are then accessed using NFS, CIFS, or RDA. You can also create virtual tape library (VTL) type containers, which are accessed via NDMP and iSCSI protocols. Configuring Share-Level Security The DR Series system supports setting up share-level permissions for CIFS shares using the standard Microsoft Windows administrative tool, Computer Management. Computer Management is a component that is built into the Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and XP operating systems. NOTE: Any user that is part of BUILTIN\Administrators can edit ACLs on CIFS shares. The local DR Series system administrator is included in the BUILTIN\Administrators group. To add additional domain groups to the BUILTIN \Administrators group, you can use the Computer Manager tool on a Windows client to connect to the DR Series system as Domain administrator and add any groups you want. This capability allows users other than the Domain administrator to modify an ACL as needed. 54

Understanding Containers
After initialization, the DR Series system contains a single default container named
backup
for storing backup data. You
can create additional containers as needed for storing your data. For more information about creating storage
containers, see
Creating Storage Containers
.
Containers function like a shared file system. These types of containers can be assigned a specific type of connection
type, for example, NFS/CIFS or RDA (includes both OST and RDS clients) depending on the type of container. These
containers are then accessed using NFS, CIFS, or RDA. You can also create virtual tape library (VTL) type containers,
which are accessed via NDMP and iSCSI protocols.
Configuring Share-Level Security
The DR Series system supports setting up share-level permissions for CIFS shares using the standard Microsoft
Windows administrative tool, Computer Management. Computer Management is a component that is built into the
Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and XP operating systems.
NOTE:
Any user that is part of BUILTIN\Administrators can edit ACLs on CIFS shares. The local DR Series system
administrator is included in the BUILTIN\Administrators group. To add additional domain groups to the BUILTIN
\Administrators group, you can use the Computer Manager tool on a Windows client to connect to the DR Series
system as Domain administrator and add any groups you want. This capability allows users other than the Domain
administrator to modify an ACL as needed.
