Planning Guide

Product Overview

The DXi6701 and DXi6702 disk backup and replication appliances use

Quantum’s data deduplication technology to expand the amount of

backup data users can retain on fast-recovery RAID systems by 10 to 50

times. The result is a cost-effective way for IT departments to store backup

data on disk for months instead of days, providing high speed, reliable

restores, increasing available data recovery points, and reducing media

management.

For disaster recovery in distributed environments, the DXi6701 and

DXi6702 systems make automated WAN replication practical by

dramatically reducing the bandwidth required to move backup data

securely between sites.

DXi6701 and DXi6702 solutions are integrated systems that are easy to

install and use with all leading backup applications. They provide best-in-

class performance with flexible, easy-to-use interface options including

NAS, OST, virtual library, or mixed presentations, as well as Ethernet and

Fibre Channel connectivity. DXi6701 and DXi6702 appliances are part of a

comprehensive set of backup solutions, serviced and supported by

Quantum, the leading global specialist in backup, recovery, and archive.

Note: This guide is for DXi6701 and DXi6702 with DXi 2.2 Software.

•NAS - Enables the NAS interface to hosts. (License key is pre-installed on all DXi6701

and DXi6702 models.)

•VTL - Enables the VTL interface to hosts. A license for 80 virtual tape drives is pre-

installed, and additional virtual tape drives licenses can be added through the VTL

license area. (License key is pre-installed on all DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)

•Backup Application Specific - Enables the backup application specific path to tape

capability. (License key is pre-installed on all DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)

Note: DXi6701 and DXi6702 support NDMP V4.

•Data Deduplication - Enables the data deduplication capability. (License key is pre-

installed on all DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)

DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)

•Storage Capacity - Enables the installed storage capacity for the system. (License

key is pre-installed on all DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)

A storage capacity license key is pre-installed for all capacity shipped from the

factory. You must install license keys for additional capacity purchased after the

initial point of sale are installed.

Note: If you purchase a storage capacity upgrade, a License Certificate to enable

the additional capacity is included with the upgrade.

•OST - Enables the OpenStorage (OST) connection. (License Certificate is included

with all DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)

DXi6701 and DXi6702

DXi Accent Quantum’s DXi Accent software accelerates backups and reduces network bandwidth

requirements by distributing deduplication between the backup server and DXi

appliances. With DXi Accent, backup windows are reduced and network bottlenecks are

eliminated.

To use DXi Accent, you must install the Quantum OST Client Plug-in on the media server.

For information about installing the OST Plug-in and using DXi Accent, see the

Symantec

NetBackup OST Configuration Guide

Installation

Rack Compatibility Nearly all standard four-post 19” server racks meeting EIA-310 specifications are

compatible with the DXi6701 and DXi6702 rack mount kits. Rack cabinets meeting

EIA-310 specifications have an alternating pattern of three holes per rack unit with

center-to-center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1-U space) of 15.9 mm,

15.9 mm, and 12.7 mm (0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the front and back

vertical rails. For detailed information, refer to the

DXi6701 and DXi6702 Installation

and Configuration Guide

(6-67196).

Note: The rack mounting rails extend to support rack depths from 26.5 to 36.4 inches

(67.3 to 92.4 cm).

When planning your rack installation, be sure to consider leaving room in the rack for

future system expansion. You can expand the storage capacity of the DXi6701 and

DXi6702 by adding up to nine expansion modules. Also be sure to leave adequate room

behind the rack to open the rear rack door.

See Physical Characteristics on page 12 for node and expansion module rack space

requirements.

DXi6701 and DXi6702

Setup and

Configuration

After hardware has been installed and initially configured, you are ready to use your

DXi6701 or DXi6702. The remote management console allows you to reconfigure your

DXi6701 or DXi6702 at any time.

Required Network Information

To utilize the remote management console of the DXi6701 or DXi6702, you must

connect it to your network.

Note the following considerations:

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is not supported.You must provide a

static IP address at the time of installation.

• The default IP Address is: 10.1.1.1

4Installation

DXi6701 and DXi6702 Site Planning Guide

You and other administrative users can always return to the remote management

console to modify all DXi6701 and DXi6702 settings, including network settings. Refer

to the

DXi6700 User’s Guide

included on the Quick Reference and Documentation CD

for additional information on initially configuring your DXi6701 or DXi6702.

Network Configuration During network configuration, each physical virtual Ethernet port in the DXi6701 or

DXi6702 can be configured as a separate device. In addition, you can create bonded

devices (logical ports) consisting of two or more physical virtual ports of the same link

speed (1GbE or 10GbE). For each port or device, you can specify the MTU (Maximum

Transmission Unit) frame size, and you can optionally assign the port or device to a

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network).

After you define devices (single port or bonded), you can create up to ten network

interfaces for each device. Each interface has its own IP address information, and you

can specify the types of traffic allowed on the interface (management, replication, or

data). Finally, you can add routing information for an interface to enable connectivity

with devices on different subnets.

Note: You can choose to allow any traffic type (management, replication, or data) on

an interface. In this case, the routing of different traffic types, as well as firewall

capability, must be controlled using the network infrastructure (routers and

switches) that the DXi6701 or DXi6702 is connected to.

Caution: For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is

required. (A network switch is not supplied with the DXi6701 or DXi6702.)

The DXi6701 or DXi6702 bonding settings must match the switch settings.

If the switch settings and the DXi6701 or DXi6702 settings do not match,

your system may become inaccessible through the switch.

Firewall Ports The following firewall ports must be opened for correct function of the DXi6701 or

DXi6702.
