ProtecTIER File System Interface (FSI)
This topic provides an overview of the ProtecTIER File System Interface (FSI).
With FSI, ProtecTIER emulates a network attached storage (NAS) backup target
capable of using HyperFactor, as well as ProtecTIER Native Replication bandwidth
reduction techniques for storing and replicating deduplicated data. ProtecTIER FSI
enables backup servers running backup applications to connect over IP networks
to ProtecTIER, without the use of FC connectivity and allows customers to use
their existing tools and capabilities to integrate a ProtecTIER NAS-based backup
target into your environment.
ProtecTIER Manager
This topic provides an overview of the ProtecTIER Manager software.
The ProtecTIER Manager application can be installed on one or more workstations,
enabling you to monitor the status of nodes and clusters in your ProtecTIER
system along with the accompanying repositories and services. ProtecTIER
Manager is used to initially configure your ProtecTIER system and to change the
configuration.
Configuration
This topic provides an overview of ProtecTIER system configuration.
ProtecTIER systems can be set up with either one node or two nodes arranged in a
cluster. Each cluster operates independently, but you can manage them all from
ProtecTIER Manager.
Note:
FSI only supports one node configurations, therefore cluster configurations
are only available in a VTL system set up.
Attention:
To meet electromagnetic immunity requirements, shielded Ethernet
cables are required when attaching to a 1 GbE PCIe Ethernet adapter card.
