Preface

The Overland Storage REO 9000 Disk-Based Backup-and-Recovery
Appliance takes the lag time, expense, and burden out of backing up
critical data and works seamlessly within current storage environments.
The REO Appliance performs faster than traditional disk-based storage
methods and serves as a shared network resource by utilizing high-
capacity disks, high-speed Ethernet and Internet SCSI (iSCSI)
connectivity, and unique software intelligence capability from Overland
Storage.

The REO Appliance comes with a standard software package called the
ProtectionPAC. The ProtectionPAC software contains all the basic
features that you need to configure your REO Appliance to work within
your network environment.

This document includes information that helps you set up the REO
Appliance, including system requirements, questions that you need to
answer before installing the product, and installation procedures.

Important:

If you purchased multiple units, set up (attach and

configure) one unit at a time. The target names must be unique within
a network; that is, if you are using multiple appliances, you must
change the default target names.


Also, be aware that the keys are not interchangeable and Overland
strongly recommends that you make a backup copy of the files on the
keys before and after you configure them.
