Avamar: to activate clients from client side

unix:

/client_pkg_installed/etc/avagent.d register avamar_gridname domain_name

ex:

/usr/local/avamar/etc/avagent.d register avamar01 /clients/unix

windows:

right click on Avamar icon and activate:

fillup avamar grid name and domain name.

Avamar provides fault tolerance at several different levels:

RAID and RAIN protects the data loss.

• RAID: Avamar ensures protection from disk and data corruption through the use of RAID (redundant array of independent disks). The type of RAID depends on the particular node type. The first thing you must know is that all storage nodes have 6 physical disks. Beginning with Avamar release 4.0, two sizes are supported: nodes with 1TB of licensable capacity or 2TB of licensable capacity. Single-node servers with a capacity of 1TB actually have higher performance disks than the 2TB flavor. The 1TB storage nodes are 6 300GB 15k SAS drives setup in RAID-5, configured into 4 Luns (virtual disks). If you opt for the 2TB capacity, the storage node will have 6 SATA disks configured with 3 RAID-1 Luns. Just FYI, the Utility node and NDMP accelerator nodes both only have 2 146GB physical disks configured with RAID-1.
• RAIN: In an multi-node system (1 utility node & 3 storage nodes or more), Avamar provides failover and fault tolerance across all nodes usingRAIN (redundant array of independent nodes). If a node failure occurs, the Avamar Server continues to function, during this time, backup data for recovery will be reconstructed on the remaining nodes using parity. Once the failed node is replaced (a spare node is always included in a RAIN configuration), the capacity across all disks can be rebalanced using a very simple process.
