Chapter 7. Managing repositories
The topics in this chapter describe how to use the ProtecTIER Manager software to
create and manage repositories in TS7600 ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions,
V3.4.1.
Each ProtecTIER node has one repository on which data is stored.
Use the ProtecTIER Manager software for repository management tasks, including:
v Enabling replication
v
Increasing the capacity of repositories
v Creating and configuring CIFS shares in FSI systems
v Defragmenting a repository
v Reserving space on a repository
Enabling replication
Perform the following procedure on ProtecTIER Manager to enable replication on
systems that have not already been configured for replication.
Before you begin
Note: It is possible that replication has already been enabled on your system. For
example, if you performed the Increase Capacity operation with ProtecTIER v2.3
or above, replication was automatically enabled.
By default, replication is enabled on new repositories created with ProtecTIER v2.3
and above. Replication is disabled on repositories upgraded from v2.2 (and below)
versions. When you enable replication, you must assign files systems, set the
estimated factoring ratio, MD raid configuration, and disk size. The procedure
allocates metadata for replication and then you can add file systems to the
repository as needed. If more storage is required, you can select additional file
systems (if they exist) to add to the metadata.
About this task
Enabling replication on the TS7650G might require additional metadata, pending
the actual metadata deployment on the specific repository.
To enable replication:
Procedure
1. From the Systems management view, select Replication > Enable replication.
The Enable replication wizard welcome screen is displayed.
2. Click Next. The Properties dialog is displayed.
3. Select the Estimated factoring ratio, the MD raid configuration, and the Disk
size (in GB) of the metadata disks.
Note:
The size of the repository cannot be changed when enabling replication.
4. Click Next. The Repository resources dialog displays the total amount of
metadata and user data (in GB) allocated for the repository.
