Quantum DXi4701 User’s Guide 5
• Replication Send Page - The redesigned Replication > Send page
lets you easily manage data replication for all shares or partitions. In
addition, you can quickly enable or disable replication for one or
more shares or partitions (see Replication Send on page 122).
• OST Status Page - The enhanced Status > OST page provides
statistics for recent OST optimized duplication as well as DXi Accent
activity (see OST Status on page 188).
• Replication Configuration Page - The redesigned Configuration >
Replication page allows you to manage both replication targets
and sources using a single, unified interface (see Replication
Configuration on page 249).
• Increased Replication Snapshots - You can retain up to 32
snapshots for each share or partition configured for replication (see
Changing the Maximum Number of Snapshots on page 259).
• Scheduler Page - The redesigned Configuration > Scheduler page
provides tools for quickly adding a new scheduled event, as well as
for managing schedules for multiple shares or partitions (see
Scheduler on page 292).
• Network Address Translation (NAT) - You can specify a NAT IP
address for the DXi to enable replication across a public network,
when the source and target are located behind NAT-enabled routers
(see Network on page 303).
• Software Upgrade Utility - The Software Upgrade Utility can
automatically check for software upgrades for your DXi system. If an
upgrade is found, you can choose to download and install it to
update your DXi to the latest software version (see Software
Upgrades on page 382).
• Chargeback Reporting - DXi Advanced Reporting (included with
DXi 2.3 Software) enables per share reporting, also called
chargeback reporting. Using the chargeback reports, you can see
ingest, incoming replication, and outgoing replication statistics for
individual CIFS/NFS shares or OST LSUs (for more information, see
the Quantum DXi Advanced Reporting User’s Guide (6-67353).
