3. Complete all steps of the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance Configuration Wizard.
NOTE: Run Microsoft Windows Update only after you complete all the steps of the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk
Appliance Configuration Wizard.
Verifying Cable Connection
The PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance Configuration Wizard verifies if the PowerVault DL2xxx system is
connected correctly to the external disk storage and tape devices.
If the SAS cables are not connected correctly, follow the steps below:
1. Shut down the PowerVault DL2xxx system.
2. Correct the indicated cable(s) by connecting the PowerVault MDxxxx storage controllers to a PERC adapter.
3. Connect the tape device to a SAS, SCSI, or Fibre Channel HBA.
4. Reboot the PowerVault DL2xxx and log on to resume the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance Configuration
Wizard.
Configuring SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network protocol used to manage TCP/IP networks. In Windows, the
SNMP service, known as the SNMP agent provides status information about an SNMP host. You can add the appliance
to an SNMP community. In addition, you can add the name of other SNMP host(s) or an SNMP management system.
A community name acts as a password that is shared by one or more SNMP hosts. When adding additional host(s), the
system can accept either host names or an IP address.
An SNMP alert or SNMP trap is an event notification message sent by the SNMP trap service running on an SNMP host.
The SNMP trap is sent to other SNMP hosts or to an SNMP management system, which are known as trap destinations.
If SNMP alerts are required, one or more community names must be specified.
Community name The name of the community you want the trap destination to use. The SNMP agent can only send
SNMP trap messages to SNMP hosts that use a known community name.
Trap Destination Lists trap destinations, which is an SNMP management system that receives SNMP trap messages
from any SNMP host in the selected community.
Disk Configuration Settings
The appliance operates in one of the following configurations:
Standard In this state, the backup application automatically configures available disk drives in the PowerVault
DL2 xxx system and optional storage enclosures and uses them for backup storage. You can set the disk
configuration policy to automatically configure the available disks by selecting either of the automatic
settings. See the topic Disk Configuration Policies.
Advanced In this state, automatic disk configuration is disabled and the disk configuration policy automatically
switches to Manual. In this state, you must manually configure disk storage to be used by the backup
application.
The appliance determines the disk subsystem state by inspecting the storage subsystem. You cannot set the disk
subsystem state. The appliance disk subsystem state is standard if you use the predefined configurations for the DL2
xxx
system and any attached storage enclosures as shown in the following sections. If the predefined configurations are not
used, the disk subsystem state is advanced. Disk groups must include a drive in each of the indicated system and
