• Plug-In - The plug-in type installed on each client. • Backup Software - The backup software used with each client. • Idle Time - The idle time (non-activity) for each client. • Connection - The number of connections for each client. • Mode - The current mode type for each client. Clients Page (Using the NFS or CIFS Tabs) On the Clients page (Storage→ Clients), click the NFS or CIFS tab to view the following information for NFS or CIFS clients. • Number of NFS (or CIFS) Clients - lists number of NFS (or CIFS) clients. • Name - lists each client by name. • Idle Time - lists idle time (nonactivity) for each client. • Connection Time - lists connection time for each client. Clients Page (Using the RDA Tab) To display the Clients page, click Storage→ Clients. This page displays the total number of clients that are connected to the DR Series system, and this number reflects all of the clients based listed under the Clients tab (NFS, CIFS, and RDA). Using this page and the RDA tab lets you perform the following tasks for RDS or OST clients: • Update a client (you are limited to modifying the mode type) • Edit a client password This page displays an RDS or OST Clients Summary table that lists the following types of RDS or OST client-related information: • Name - lists client by name • Type - lists client type • Plug-In - lists plug-in version that is installed on the client NOTE: The RDA plug-in is installed by default if you are running the latest version of Dell NetVault Backup (NVBU). You must download and install the RDA plug-in for NVBU only if there is a plug-in version mismatch between the DR Series system software and NVBU. • Backup Software - lists backup software used with this client • Idle Time - lists the idle time for this client • Connection - lists the number of connections for this client • Mode - lists the mode types that can be set for this client: - Auto: DR will set the deduplication to Dedupe or Passthrough, based on the client's number of cores and whether it is 32- or 64-bit. - Passthrough: The client will pass all data to DR for deduplication processing (appliance-side deduplication). - Dedupe: The client will process hashing on data, so deduplication processing occurs on the server side (client- side deduplication). If an OST or RDS client has four or more CPU cores, it is considered to be dedupe-capable. However, the OST or RDS client operating mode depends upon how it is configured in the DR Series system (Dedupe is the default RDA client mode). • If the administrator did not configure an OST or RDS client to operate in a specific mode and it is dedupe-capable, it will run in the Dedupe mode. • If an OST or RDS client is not dedupe-capable (meaning the OST or RDS client has less than four CPU cores), and the administrator sets it to run in the Dedupe mode, it will only run in the Passthrough mode. 59
