Executive Summary
This paper provides information about how to set up the Dell DR4x00 as a backup to disk target for EMC
Networker™ software. This paper is a quick reference guide and does not include all DR4x00 deployment
best practices.
See the DR4x00 documentation other data management application best practices whitepapers for
additional information.
NOTE: The DR4x00/Networker build version and screen shots used for this paper may vary slightly,
depending on the version of the DR4x00/Networker software version used.

5 Setting up Networker on the Dell™ DR4x00 Disk Backup Appliance
1Install and Configure the DR4x00
1. Rack and cable the DR4x00 appliance, and power it on.
2. Log into iDRAC using the default address 192.168.0.1, user name root, and the password calvin.
3. Launch the virtual console.
4. Once the virtual console is open, log in to the system as user administrator and the password
St0r@ge! (The “0” in the password is the numeral zero.).

6 Setting up Networker on the Dell™ DR4x00 Disk Backup Appliance
5. Set the user-defined networking preferences.
6. View the summary of preferences and confirm that it is correct.

7 Setting up Networker on the Dell™ DR4x00 Disk Backup Appliance
7. Log into the DR4x00 administrator console, using the IP address you just provided for the DR4x00,
user administrator and the password St0r@ge! (The “0” in the password is the numeral zero.).
8. (Optional) Join the DR4x00 to Active Directory --- only when the DR is also providing CIFS access
to backup servers.
NOTE: if you do not want to add DR4x00 to Active Directory, see the Owner’s Manual for guest
login instructions.
a. Select Active irectory in the tree on the left hand side of the dashboard.

8 Setting up Networker on the Dell™ DR4x00 Disk Backup Appliance
b. Enter your Active Directory credentials.
9. Create and mount the container.
a. Select Containers in the tree on the left side of the dashboard, and then click the Create link
at the top of the page.

b. Enter a Container Name, select Networker as Marker Type, and select the NFS/CIFS check
box for Connection Type.
c. Under NFS section, note down the NFS access path (this will be used in configuring device on
Networker server), and select Enable NFS. For Client Access section, choose either Open
Access, or manually add clients into the allow list with having NFS Options as “rw”

10 Setting up Networker on the Dell™ DR4x00 Disk Backup Appliance
For improved security, Dell recommends adding IP addresses for the following (Not all
environments will have all components):
−Backup console (Networker Server)
−Network Storage Nodes
−Networker Clients
d. Click Create a New Container.
e. Confirm that the container was added.

11 Setting up Networker on the Dell™ DR4x00 Disk Backup Appliance
2Configure the Networker Storage Node
1. Log into the networker storage node and run the command as shown, to display the NFS exports
on DR4x00
2. Make a mount point on the Networker Storage Node and mount the DR4x00 export
3. Test writing to the DR4x00 export, make sure it completes successfully
4. Create a subdirectory to be used as device path in configuring DR4x00 export onto the storage
node
5. If Client Direct feature will be used, on each of the client, mount the DR export and note down the
mount point. This mount point is needed in step 9 of the next section of Set up Networker
NOTE: in DR4x00 version 2.x, the maximum supported NFS connections per DR4x00 appliance is
32, so there should be no more than 32 clients mounted to a single DR4x00 for backup.

19 Setting up Networker on the Dell™ DR4x00 Disk Backup Appliance
Pay special attention to the following step while setting the other options appropriately according
to the backup environment:
eduplication should be set as None; Target Pool should be set as the pool that has DR4x00
device included; Client irect can be enabled if client directly backing up data to DR is preferred,
thus bypassing the storage node managing the DR share (please refer to step 9 above in the same
section, and step 5 in Configure the Networker Storage Node section).
