Dell PowerStore Protecting Your Data

Configure the disaster recovery test environment using PSTCLI

1. Acquire the name of the NAS server on the destination site (to be cloned):

   [SVC:service@9CB0BD3-B user]$ pstcli -d <PowerStore_IP> nas_server show
   # | id | name | operational_status |  current_node_id  | file_interfaces.ip_addre~
   --+-------------+--------+--------------------+-------------------
   1 |647f545a-4b11-5cdd-4d4c-eeeba81eb143 | File80| Started | R2C4-appliance-1-node~| 127.1.1.1 

2. Clone the NAS server by providing a new name for the clone and using the -is_dr_test true switch:

   [SVC:service@9CB0BD3-B user]$ pstcli -d <PowerStore_IP> nas_server -name File80 
   clone -name File80_c -is_dr_test true
   Success

3. Find the IP port ID for the NAS File Bond that is connected to the isolated network:
   NOTE:If the NAS File Bond was not created, you can create it using PSTCLI or PowerStore Manager.

   [SVC:service@9CB0BD3-B user]$ pstcli -d <PowerStore_IP> ip_port_show -output nvp
   8:  id =IP_PORT23
       current_usages =
       ip_pool_addresses =
       bond:
       name=BaseEnclosure-NodeA-bond1
   

4. Create the file interface for the cloned NAS server:

   [SVC:service@9CB0BD3-B user]$ pstcli -d <PowerStore_IP> file_interface create 
   -nas_server_name File80_c -ip_address "10.10.10.10" -prefix_length 24 -gateway "10.10.10.1" -vlan_id 5 
   -ip_port_id IP_PORT23
   Created
   # |     id
   --+-----------------------------------
   1 |64830ae5-2760-59ce-4c90-82772509648e  

5. View file interface:

   [SVC:service@9CB0BD3-B user]$ pstcli -d <PowerStore_IP> file_interface_show
   # |id | nas_server_id | ip_address | prefix_length | gateway | is_disabled
   --+-------------+--------+--------------------+-------------------
