Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Recover Pipe to Save

Recover Pipe to Save (RPS) is a feature that improves performance by allowing clone, backup, and recovery operations to access the same nsrmmd process concurrently.

1. On the Administration window, click Server.
2. In the left pane of the Server window, right-click the NetWorker server.
3. From the File menu, select Properties.
4. Select the Configuration tab.
5. Clear or select the Disable RPS Clone attribute, and then click OK.
   NOTE:

   • Cloning of saveset is not supported from a non-Data Domain device to a DD Cloud Tier device. Cloning fails with the following error:

     Failed to get mmd reservation with err: Clone saveset(s) operation from a non-Data Domain device to a DD Cloud Tier device is not supported.

   • When you perform a fresh installation of NetWorker Server 19.9, RPS cloning is disabled by default.
   • If you have NetWorker 19.9 server installed, Dell recommends that you maintain parity with the NetWorker 19.9 storage node in both the RPS Enabled and Disabled mode. However, if you have compatibility and migration challenges and want to maintain earlier versions of the storage node, that is, the N-2 version, then Dell recommends that you use the RPS Disabled mode for cloning. In cases where VMware vProxy save sets are used for cloning, RPS Enabled mode is supported by default. Therefore, Dell recommends that you maintain NetWorker server and storage node compatibility and configure clone actions with the appropriate storage node based on the workloads.

   NOTE:An alert is raised in the console and log if SN version is not same as the NetWorker server version in RPS cloning.
