Quantum DXi8500 User’s Guide
•
Enhanced Usability
- The user interface of the remote management
console has been updated and improved to make it easier to see
important information at a glance and perform the most common
tasks (see
DXi8500 Remote Management
on page 99).
Note:
For a list of all menus and pages in the remote
management console, see
DXi8500 Management Pages
on
page 107. Use this list to help find the new location of
features in the remote manage console.
•
Custom Network Configuration
- You can now create a custom
network configuration using the remote management console as
well as through the CLI (command line interface). The custom
network option allows you to configure the DXi8500 with individual
IP subnet information for each physical interface (see
Network
on
page 366).
•
Configuration Wizards
- New wizards provide guided assistance to
help users configure key features of the DXi8500, such as storage
presentation and data replication. Each wizard leads you step-by-
step through the configuration process (see
DXi8500 Configuration
Wizards
on page 111).
•
Replication Throttling and Scheduler
- With replication throttling,
you can configure the DXi to limit its outgoing data replication
bandwidth to a specified maximum in order to avoid network
contention. Use the new
Scheduler
page to set up a recurring
schedule for replication throttle, and to manage schedules for space
reclamation and healthchecks (see
Scheduler
on page 353).
•
AES 256-bit Encryption
- When sending replicated data to a target
system, the DXi can take advantage of 256-bit encryption for
stronger security.
Data Reduction
Data reduction is the process of reducing the amount of storage
capacity required to store your data. The DXi8500 systems provide two
techniques to optimize the storage space required on your system:
