a single-node or multi-node Avamar system. The term "node" refers to the individual computer/storage platforms that make up an Avamar server. All nodes run the Linux operating system and use RAID data protection. Nodes have 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 hard drives, depending on node type and storage capacity. The primary differences between node types are:

Jun 22, 2011 · The "avatar" is the primary process for backups and restores. avtar communicates with the gsan processes on the storage nodes. During a scheduled backup or restore, the administrator server (mcs) running on the Avamar server generates a work order. mcs then pages the client avagent and avagent picks up the work order.

This guide describes operational best practices for both single-node and multi-node servers in small and large heterogeneous client environments. This guide does not

This guide describes how to configure, administer, monitor, and maintain the Avamar server.

Jun 10, 2014 · For Avamar Gen 4 nodes in RAIN array connect to the Utility node and run mapall --noerror --user=root --nodes=all+ --quiet 'echo `hostname -i`": "`/usr/bin/ipmitool fru print 0 | grep "Product Asset Tag" | sed "s/^.*:\s\(.*$\)/\1/"`' The serial number will be the first part of the result. You will also receive the IP address of the node.

May 31, 2011 · Is there a quick way to free up space on a Avamar node that is at 95% utilization? Also, I have it replicated to another site. I can use the main grid for backup.

Checking the status of your Avamar node can be done with a few simple commands via a telnet client. To check the current status of the node run "dpnctl status". AVAMARNODE:~/#: dpnctl status

calculate the power and thermal dissipation details for the specific Avamar configuration. For high availability (HA), the left and right sides of the cabinet must receive power

Jan 31, 2013 · Avamar Datastore GEN4S/GEN4 Multi-Node Avamar. The following mapall command run from the utility node (run as admin with dpnid key loaded) will retrieve the serial numbers from all of the nodes in the grid. SSH into the Utility Node as admin and type: ssh-agent bash. ssh-add ~/.ssh/dpnid

This document provides guidance on troubleshooting hardware issues for EMC Avamar Gen4 and Gen4S nodes. It begins with an overview of the differences between the Gen4 and Gen4S hardware models.

Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) is a single-node Avamar server that runs as a virtual machine on VMware ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V. AVE is similar to existing single-node Avamar backup and recovery software providing fast daily full backups by deduplicating the data at the client to

Jun 30, 2014 · Avamar replication is quite often a life saver! you replicate your data to an offsite location in the event of disaster and restore from there if needed. Normally, this is a one way process as in not needing to replicate back to the source node.

Dec 23, 2021 · We have an old Avamar grid (Gen4) with some issues and I wonder how/if it is still possible to fix them. https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-nl/000044454/avamar-server-procedure-for-restarting-one-offline-node-in-a-multi-node-rain-grid?lang=en. The offline node had power issue's and a failed disk.

Jun 9, 2009 · In an Avamar System, the NDMP Accelerator is used for backup of EMC Celerra IP storage systems and Network Appliance filers. The NDMP accelerator is a dedicated single node that provides a complete backup and recovery solution.

Avamar Data Store Gen5A systems are available from as little as 12.5 TB up to 400 TB of deduplicated disk storage capacity. Specialized management, media access, and NDMP Accelerator Nodes round out the offering.

Avamar eliminates single points of failure by employing patented redundant array of independent nodes (RAIN) technology to provide high availability across nodes in the Data Store.

Monitoring activity on your Avamar node is done via the "mccli" command. There are a few switches that can be used and here we use "activity show". This command will show all active jobs that are currently running on the system. They …

The accelerator allows Avamar to back up multiple NAS systems using a single accelerator node by offloading NDMP processing from the Avamar server. It supports Dell EMC NAS systems, NetApp filers, and Oracle ZFS storage appliances.

I wanted to give our operations group the ability to execute various scripts or commands on the Avamar utility node without giving them direct SSH access. This can be accomplished using key based authentication, Plink, and powershell.

The NDMP accelerator is a specialized node that, when used as part of an Avamar system, provides a complete backup and recovery solution for NAS devices via the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP).
