2.2 Procedure for Unix/Linux Environment
Notes:
Make sure that you can mount/verify the NFS share from the UNIX/Linux backup node. Please see
Appendix B for how to mount/verify the NFS share.
The procedure for the Unix/Linux Environment is very similar to the procedure for the Windows
Environment. One difference is that the configuration file of Backup Node is ht_media.def, the default
location for the file is “/etc/ht_media.def ”.
For other details, please refer to the Procedure for the Windows Environment.

5 Set Up the DR Series Deduplication Appliance Cleaner
The cleaner will run during idle time. If you workflow does not have a sufficient amount of idle time on a
daily basis then you should consider scheduling the cleaner which will force it to run during that
scheduled time.
If necessary you can do the following procedure as described in the screenshot to force the cleaner to
run. Once all the backup jobs are setup the DR Series Deduplication Appliance cleaner can be scheduled.
The DR Series Deduplication Appliance cleaner should run at least 6 hours per week when backups are not
taking place, generally after a backup job has completed.
Performing scheduled disk space reclamation operations are recommended as a method for recovering
disk space from system containers in which files were deleted as a result of deduplication.

6 Monitoring Deduplication, Compression and Performance
After backup jobs have completed, the DR Series Deduplication Appliance tracks capacity, storage savings
and throughput on the DR Series Deduplication Appliance dashboard. This information is valuable in
understanding the benefits the DR Series Deduplication Appliance.
Note: Deduplication ratios increase over time; it is not uncommon to see a 2-4x reduction (25-50% total
savings) on the initial backup. As additional full backup jobs complete, the ratios will increase. Backup
jobs with a 12-week retention will average a 15x ratio in most cases.

A Appendix
A.1 Create a Storage Device for CIFS
There are two options for BridgeHead HDM to authenticate to DR Series Deduplication Appliance through
CIFS.
1. DR is joined into an Active Directory Domain: Integrate BridgeHead HDM and DR Series
Deduplication Appliance with Active Directory
a. Ensure the AD user has appropriate ACLs to the DR Series Deduplication Appliance Container
share
b. When creating an object, set the Backup Node of BridgeHead HDM to run with this AD user
<Domain\User>
2. DR is standalone CIFS server: Make sure this CIFS user has appropriate access permission to the
DR Series Deduplication Appliance container share. BridgeHead HDM Backup Node will use this
user to authenticate to DR Series Deduplication Appliance share in Workgroup mode.
a. To set the password for local CIFS administrator on the DR Series Deduplication Appliance, log on
to the DR using SSH.
i. Log on with username Administrator and password St0r@ge!
ii. Run the following command:
Authenticate --set --user administrator
Note: The CIFS administrator account is a separate account from the administrator account used to
administer the appliance. After an authentication method is chosen, set the BridgeHead Healthcare Data
Management service account to use the CIFS administrator account.

A.2 Create a Storage Device for NFS
For NFS backup using the BridgeHead Healthcare Data Management, a target folder needs to be created
as NFS share directory. This is the location to which backup objects will be written. This is not required
while adding CIFS share.
1. Mount the DR Series Deduplication Appliance NFS share onto the NFS share directory which
backup objects will be written in the BridgeHead Healthcare Data Management environment.
2. Verify the NFS share. One way is to try using the Linux command “cat /proc/mounts”. The rsize
and wsize of the connects in the command output should be 512K.
