Preventing file recalls on EMC Celerra

For an EMC Celerra device, you can use the Celerra's backup options to prohibit Active Directory groups or Active Directory accounts such as a service account from triggering placeholder recalls from the Celerra file systems. For example, you can exclude the service account for a backup program or antivirus program.

To prevent members of a group or an individual account from triggering placeholder recalls through the CIFS interface, add the appropriate group or account to the Celerra Backup Operators group. Then execute the following command to prevent those accounts from recalling placeholders:

fs_dhsm -m fs_name -backup offline

where fs_name is the name of the file system on the Celerra.
