Dell DR Series System Administrator Guide

Use the NetBackup graphical user interface (GUI) to configure it to work with the DR Series system via RDA with OST. This process is essentially the same type of operation for either the Linux or Windows platforms.

1. In the main window of the NetBackup Administrator console, click Configure Disk Storage Servers to launch the Storage Server Configuration Wizard. The Storage Server Configuration Wizard page is displayed, which is where you can add a storage server.
2. Select OpenStorage to choose the type of disk storage that you want to configure in this window, and click Next. The Add Storage Server page is displayed.
3. Enter the following values to configure a storage server:
   • In Storage server type, enter DELL.
   • In Storage server name, enter the name of the DR Series system.
   • In the Select media server drop-down list, select the desired media server (the server on which you are configuring RDA with OST).
   • Enter values for the credential needed to authenticate with the DR Series system:
     • User name
     • Password
     • Confirm password

   The credentials should be the same as the credentials that are required for the DR Series system. For more information, see Configuring an LSU.

4. Click Next. The Storage Server Configuration Summary page is displayed, which lists the values you configured.
5. Click Next. The storage server you configured and the corresponding credentials are displayed in the Storage Server Creation Status page.
6. Click Next and click Finish to close the Storage Server Configuration Wizard . The Storage server servername successfully created page is displayed. NetBackup is now configured for use with the DR Series system.
