Enable
Concurrent
Optimized
Duplication
Select the check box to enable optimized duplication during OST ingest.
Concurrent Optimized Duplication is disabled by default. If enabled, as data is written to the
storage server, it is simultaneously replicated to the target DXi. When optimized duplication
or Automatic Image Replication subsequently occurs, the operation is more efficient
because a portion of the required data has already been replicated to the target storage
server.
Additional Information
l
To configure the target DXi, see
.
l
When Concurrent Optimized Duplication is enabled, all data on the storage server is
duplicated, not just the specified images.
3. Select the check box for each optimized duplication target you want to duplicate the storage server to.
When the storage server is duplicated, its data will be sent to all selected targets.
4. Click
Apply

Deleting a Storage Server
Delete a storage server if it is no longer needed. When you delete a storage server, all data stored on the
storage server is lost.
Note:
If you deleted the storage server from Veritas NetBackup or Veritas Backup Exec, you must wait
several minutes before deleting the storage server from the DXi4700.
To delete a storage server:
1. Select the storage server in the
Storage Server List
.
You cannot delete a storage server if it has more than zero currently active connections. The number of
active connections is displayed on the

delete any LSUs it contains (see
