RaQ 3 Server Management

To enable or disable the Arkeia client-side backup software:

1. On the Server Management screen, click Control Panel. The

Service Settings tble appears.

2. Click the check box next to Arkeia File Backup to on or off.

3. If you are disabling the Arkeia File Backup option, click Save

Changes. If you are enabling the Arkeia File Backup option, click

on the Parameters link next to the option in the Service Settings

table.

4. In the Arkeia Parameters table, enter the host name of the server

that will back up the RaQ 3. Click Save Changes in the Arkeia

Parameters table.

5. Click Save Changes in the Service Settings table.

To enable the server-side software, you must have an external tape

device connected to the SCSI port (RaQ 3i conﬁguration only).

If you have the RaQ 3 conﬁguration, you can download the server-side

software from Knox Software and install it on a different server with a

local tape drive. You can then back up the RaQ 3 through the local

network connection.

The server-side software is managed through a separate utility; this

utility has a Java interface on Windows 95/98 and NT, and an X11

interface on Unix. You can download this utility from Arkeia’s web site

at http://www.arkeia.com.

Cobalt Networks also provides a technical paper on how to use Arkeia

software as a disaster-recovery solution. Go to Cobalt’s web site at

Domain Name System (DNS) server

Domain Name System (DNS) is a vital and integral part of the Internet.

Setting up DNS correctly on your RaQ 3 is very important. For this

reason, we have created an appendix solely for explaining DNS. See

“Domain Name System” on page 149.

The appendix covers the following items:

• basic DNS issues

• advanced DNS issues

• a quick start guide detailing a sample setup of DNS for a RaQ 3

• a brief history of the DNS service
