CHAPTER 1
Introduction
The CloudBoost appliance provides an integration into your existing supported backup
environment. This enables you to transfer backups to the cloud. The CloudBoost
appliance enables backups to public, hybrid, or private cloud storage.
CloudBoost decouples metadata from data, which removes a bottleneck for cloud reads
and writes. Encryption keys, metadata, and file system information are housed separately
from the data. All advanced data services, such as chunking, encryption, inline deduplication, compression, and bulk data transfers are performed separately from storing
the metadata.
CloudBoost is available as a physical appliance, a VMware virtual appliance, and a virtual
appliance resident in Amazon EC2.
CloudBoost is integrated with EMC Secure Remote Services, which may be enabled to
monitor the health of the appliances.
Individual CloudBoost deployments can support only one target object store. When a
cloud object store is selected and the CloudBoost appliance is configured, the appliance
is locked to that target. To change object storage targets, the appliance must be redeployed.

Safety information
CAUTION
l
If the system is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
The RJ-45 sockets on the motherboard, PCI cards, or I/O modules are for Ethernet
connection only and must not be connected to a telecommunications network.
All plug-in modules and blank plates are part of the fire enclosure and must be
removed only when a replacement can be added immediately. The system must not
be run without all parts in place.
A controller must be operated only from a power supply input voltage range of 100
240 VAC, 5060 Hz.
Each component is intended to operate with all working power supplies installed.
A safe electrical earth connection must be provided to each power cord. Check the
grounding of the power sources before applying power.
The plug on each power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure
that the socket outlets are located near the equipment and are easily accessible.
Permanently unplug the unit if you think it is damaged in any way and before moving
it. If the unit is powered by multiple sources, disconnect all supplied power for
complete isolation.
EMC systems are heavy. Use two people or a mechanical lift to move any system.
To comply with applicable safety, emission, and thermal requirements, covers must
not be removed and all bays must be fitted with plug-in modules.
Load the rack beginning at the bottom to prevent the rack from becoming top-heavy.
For ESD protection, EMC recommends that you wear a suitable antistatic wrist or
ankle strap. Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling plug-in
modules and components.
Do not extend components on slide rails until you have loaded at least three or more
similarly weighted items in the rack, or unless the rack is bolted to the floor or
overhead structure to prevent tipping.
Site requirements
The site requirements are:
18
The system requires 2U of vertical space in a standard 19, four-post rack. Do not use
a two-post rack.
Use air conditioning that can cope with the maximum BTU/hour thermal rating.
In a closed or multi-unit rack, ensure that the unit has adequate airflow through the
front bezel and back panel and that ambient temperature requirements are met.
Ensure that the front bezel and back panel clearances are met.
If installing in a closed cabinet, ensure that the front and rear doors have at least
65% open area to ensure adequate airflow for cooling.
AC power outlets must be provided with an earth ground conductor (safety ground). A
safe electrical earth connection must be provided to each power cord.

Storage capacity
The table lists the capacities of the CloudBoost 100 system. EMC system internal indexes
and other product components use variable amounts of storage, depending on the type
of data and the sizes of files. If you send different data sets to otherwise identical
systems, one system may, over time, have room for more or less actual backup data than
another.
Note
EMC system commands compute and display amounts of disk space or data as decimal
multiples of certain powers of two (210, 220, 230, and so forth). For example, 7 GiB of disk
space = 7 x 230 bytes = 7 x 1,073,741,824 bytes. EMC refers to this process as Base 2
calculation.

CloudBoost 100 systems can contain either 4 x 8 GB or 8 x 8 GB memory DIMMs.
Bracket hardware
The rack-mounting kit is compatible with racks that have front-to-rear post spacing
between 18 inches and 36 inches. The kit will fit the following types of mounting holes:
l
Two bracket assemblies, one marked for the left (L) side and one marked for the right
(R) side of the rack.

1. Front.
2. Back.

Do not hold the bracket assembly in a vertical position as the parts may separate.
The CloudBoost 100 system is two rack units (RU) tall. Make sure the location in the
rack fits the product.
Procedure
1. If your rack contains round unthreaded or square holes, skip to the next step. If your
rack contains threaded holes, unscrew and remove the screw caps at both ends of
each bracket.

2. As needed, select the bracket marked right or left. Orientation assumes you are facing
the front of the rack. The rear of the bracket contains an adjustable piece.

3. From the rear of the system, hold the bracket against the inside of the rack posts.
Align the rear guide pin and slide the bracket towards the front.
CAUTION
If the bracket is mounted in holes that are not vertically aligned from front to back,
the bracket may be damaged and mounting will not be secure.
4. Pull the adjustable sliding part of the bracket towards the front until it is close to, but
not touching, the front of the rack. The bracket adjusts to fit most racks.
5. Attach the bracket to the rear of the rack using the furnished screws. There are six
holes. Add screws to the second and fifth holes.
Note
If more convenient, you may attach the second bracket while still at the rear of the
rack.
6. If your rack contains threaded holes, add a gap filler to the front end of the bracket at
the front of the system. Otherwise, skip to the next step.
7. Attach the bracket (along with the gap filler, if applicable) to the front of the rack.
There are five holes in the front. Add a screw to the fourth hole. See the photo.
28
Note
The optional screw is used to secure the system to the rack if it is necessary to move
the rack.
8. Verify that the bracket is level.
9. Repeat the steps to attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the rack.
10. After installing both brackets, make sure that they are level with one another.

CHAPTER 3
Configure Network Settings for a CloudBoost
Appliance
After you start the CloudBoost appliance, you should configure its network settings.
By default, the CloudBoost appliance starts with the IP address obtained via DHCP. It is
also possible to manually set a static IP address.
Note
Both static IP and reserved IP using DHCP are supported. Dynamic DHCP is not supported.
It is best to assign static IP addresses using DHCP (via DHCP reservations) unless you
have disabled DHCP in the data center.
You must configure the resolvable fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as
cloudboost.example.com. The FQDN must be registered in your DNS with both forward
35
The CloudBoost AMI automatically uses the default VPC settings for the appliances IP
address, DNS, and FQDN. If you need to change these network settings, you can use the
commands below.
Procedure
1. Open a CLI window on the CloudBoost appliance.

5. To statically set the IP address and netmask, run these commands. If you have
multiple networks you must run this command for each network listed in the status
command.
net config interface IP address netmask netmask address
For example,
net config eth0 10.5.96.123 netmask 255.255.255.0
6. To manually add the gateway, run these commands. If you have multiple networks,
you also have to add multiple routes to the appropriate gateways.
route add IP address netmask netmask address gw gateway address
For example,
route add 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.5.96.1
37
For example:
dns set primary 10.5.96.91
dns set secondary 10.5.96.92
dns set tertiary 10.5.96.93
