Specific Capacity
Select this option to specify the physical capacity of the LSU, and then enter
the following information.
l
LSU Name
- Enter the name of the LSU.
l
Physical Capacity
- Enter the physical capacity of the LSU (1 to 1048576

5. (Optional) In the
Description
box, enter a brief description of the LSU.
6. (Optional) Select the
Enable Automatic Image Replication
check box to automatically replicate
(duplicate) data on the LSU to a remote LSU on another DXi.
Automatic Image Replication (AIR) is disabled by default. If enabled, data on an LSU is automatically
replicated to a remote LSU that resides on a DXi in a different NetBackup domain. The timing of the
duplication, as well as the backup images that are duplicated, are determined by the storage lifecycle
policies (SLPs) configured in NetBackup.
OST AIR requires NetBackup 7.1 or higher. For information about configuring NetBackup for
Automatic Image Replication, see the
DXi-Series NetBackup and Backup Exec OST Configuration

You must configure at least one remote user before you can enable Automatic Image

target.
8. If Automatic Image Replication is enabled, specify the following information:
Remote Storage
Server Name
The name of the remote storage server (on the target DXi) to replicate data to.
The source DXi and target DXi must reside in different NetBackup domains.
