Server

Specifies the host where the backup repository you want to add is located.

Use this parameter to explicitly set the host for the following repository types:

For the WinLocal type: indicate the Windows based server  where you want to create the backup repository or to which you want to connect the rotated drives.

For the LinuxLocal type: indicate the Linux based server  where you want to create the backup repository or to which you want to connect the rotated drives.

For the CifsShare, DataDomain or HPStoreOnce types: indicate a Windows based server that to which the storage appliance is connected and which will be used as a gateway server.

Default: This server.

False

False

False

Mount
Server

Used to enable the vPower NFS.

Specifies the host where the NFS service must be installed.

By default, the vPower NFS folder is created on the mounted host. If you want to locate the vPower NFS folder elsewhere, use the VPowerNFSFolder parameter to set the path.

False

Named

False

False

Rotated
Drive

Indicates if the repository you want to add is a rotated drive (removable media).

False

Named

False

False

Use the MountServer and VPowerNFSFolder parameters to set the vPower NFS service.

False

Named

False

False

VPower
NFSFolder

Specifies the path to the vPower NFS root folder.

To enable the vPower NFS, the MountServer parameter must be set.

False

Named

False

False

Name

Specifies the Data Domain server name according to the connection mode:

  • If EMC Data Domain works over TCP, enter a full DNS name or IP address of the EMC Data Domain server.
  • If EMC Data Domain works over Fibre Channel, enter a name of the Data Domain server starting with a 'DFC-' prefix, for example, "DFC-DataDomain690".
