NOTE: If an OST client has four or more CPUs, it is considered to be dedupe-capable. However, the OST client operating mode depends upon how it is configured in the DR Series system (Dedupe is the default OST client mode). If the administrator did not configure an OST client to operate in a specific mode and it is dedupe-capable, it will run in the Dedupe mode. If an OST client is not dedupe-capable (meaning the OST client has less than four CPUs), and the administrator sets it to run in the Dedupe mode, it will only run in the Passthrough mode. If an OST client is set to run in Auto mode, the OST client will run in the mode setting determined by the media server. The following table shows the relationship between the configured OST client mode types and the supported client mode based on client architecture type and corresponding number of CPUs. Table 2. Supported OST Client Modes and Settings OST Client Mode Settings Auto 32-Bit OST Client (4 or 64-Bit Client (4 or more CPUs) more CPUs) Passthrough Dedupe 32-Bit OST Client (Less than 4 CPUs) Passthrough 64-Bit OST Client (Less than 4 CPUs) Passthrough Dedupe Passthrough Not Supported Supported Supported Supported Not Supported Supported Not Supported Supported Syntax ost --update_client --name acme-81 --mode dedupe NOTE: You may be able to force writes for OST clients running in the Passthrough mode using the DR Series system CLI mode --dedupe command. The change in OST client mode is effective on the next backup operation when you are using the Symantec NetBackup (or if you are using the Symantec Backup Exec, you will need to restart this service for it to recognize that a new mode has been configured). Result OST client updated successfully. ost --limit --speed
