The DXi4701 can retain up to 32 snapshots for each replicated share or
partition. Once the maximum number of snapshots have been saved,
the oldest snapshot is deleted to make room for each new snapshot
that is received.
To change the maximum number of received snapshots:
• Under Source DXis , in the Maximum Snapshots drop-down box,
select the number of snapshots to retain for each replicated share or
partition.
• The default value is 10. The maximum value is 32.
OST
The OST page allows you to configure the DXi4701 to present its
storage capacity as storage servers using OpenStorage (OST)
technology. You can add one or more Logical Storage Units (LSUs) to a
storage server. Storage servers and LSUs are compatible with backup
applications that support OST, such as Symantec NetBackup and
Symantec Backup Exec. In addition, OST data can be duplicated
(replicated) between DXi systems using NetBackup (see Replicating OST
Data on page 261).
To authenticate OST devices on a media server, you must create OST user
credentials. After you create the OST user credentials, enter them in the
backup application to authenticate OST devices on the media server.
To access the
OST page, click the Configuration menu, and then click
the OST tab.
The OST page contains the following tabs:
• Storage Servers
• LSU
• Manage Users
• Manage Remote Users
• Target IP Mapping
• DXi Accent
