Celerra ( Data Movers ) run aproprietary specialized O/S called ¿DART¿ [Data Access in Real Time].
DART (Data Access in Real Time) is an embedded, real-time, operating system comprising a modified UNIX kernel and dedicated file server software that together transfer files and multimedia data across a network using a variety of network protocols.
In summary: DART file server software executes entirely in the kernel--a real-time kernel, the design of which is based on monotonic scheduling.[The DART kernel environment is not a generic user-application environment. Instead, the DART kernel provides a run-time environment for the file service; an embedded, dedicated application. The DART file server software is linked with the kernel into a single system image that is loaded for execution at boot time.

Its a EMC proprietary microkernel
Only the control station that is not in the CIFS/NFS/ISCSI/... data path is based on a modified Linux

no - definitely not
I havent seen the stickers but they might have to do with that EMC pays a CIFS royalty to Microsoft for each Celerra CIFS license sold.
This way we get access to the API's and code - but DART itself is nothing like Windows and we dont use the Windows code.
yes, it starts off as nas.exe but thats just the bootstrap

So which Embedded RTOS used in DART ? is it based on VxWorks ? Or it is a completely EMC developed OS ?

DART is completely and totally EMC developed.
The Control Station is a GNU Linux kernel that has been appropriately modified and is called EMC Control Station Linux. It is NOT any version of Red Hat, or any other OS, either. It may contain pieces of other code, but it all complies with open-source standards.
