D-NWR-DY-01 Dell NetWorker Deploy v2 Exam Questions and Answers

For backing up an AIX system to cloud object storage with maximum performance, the recommended approach is to use a CloudBoost appliance. CloudBoost provides optimized deduplication, compression, and encryption, enabling efficient and secure backups from legacy platforms like AIX directly to cloud storage.

In the NetWorker Authentication Service, both user names and group names are limited to a maximum of 64 characters. This constraint ensures compatibility and proper functioning within the NetWorker environment. It's important to adhere to this limit when creating or managing user and group entries to avoid potential issues.

The NetWorker vProxy appliance is provided as an Open Virtual Appliance package (.ova), which you deploy via “Deploy OVF Template” in your VMware environment.

When you pair NetWorker Virtual Edition (NVE) with PowerProtect DD Virtual Edition (DDVE), you can deploy and protect workloads across all three cloud models:

● Public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)

● Private clouds (on‑premises VMware ESXi, Hyper‑V, KVM environments)

● Hybrid clouds (seamlessly spanning on‑premises and public cloud infrastructures)

In the Simulator, do the following:

1. In the left‑hand menu clickProtection, then expandVMware Protectionand selectVMware Servers.

2. ClickAddand fill in your vCenter details:

vCenter Server Hostname:vcenter.dell.local

Username:Administrator@vsphere.local

Password:Password@123

3. ClickSave.

4. Still underVMware Protection, selectVirtual Proxies, clickAdd, and enter your vProxy details:

Proxy Hostname:(the FQDN or IP of your vProxy appliance)

Admin Password:password123

5. ClickSave.

When a user logs in to the NetWorker User interface, the NetWorker Authentication Service (AuthC) generates a SAML2 Token to securely authenticate and authorize the session. This token format supports federated identity and secure token-based access across the NetWorker environment.

To use HotAdd transport mode exclusively, the vProxy appliance must reside on the same ESXi host that has direct access to the datastores containing the virtual disks of the VMs being backed up. This ensures that the virtual disks can be hot-added to the proxy for efficient backup processing without network data transfer.

In current NetWorker versions (9.1 and later), the default Target Sessions setting for a CloudBoost device is 10. This value helps balance load when multiple backup streams are directed to the CloudBoost appliance without imposing a hard cap (that’s what the Max Sessions setting is for).
