Dell PowerVault DL2000 - Manual (Page 19)

Setting Options In Symantec Backup Exec
By default, Backup Exec installs the system as a stand-alone media server. For more information, see the Backup Exec
Administrator’s Guide at symantec.com. The following options are available:
Standalone Media
Server This is the default server installed by Symantec Backup Exec and is recommended if you are
installing in a standalone environment and independent of other Backup Exec media servers.
Central Administration
Server This server is a Backup Exec media server on which the Central Admin Server Option (CASO)
is installed. The CASO environment provides load balancing functionality, centralized
administration, and delegates job processing in your storage environment.
Managed Media
Server Managed media servers are only available with the Backup Exec CASO. These servers are
managed by a central administration server and are responsible for the processing of backup
and restore jobs in a CASO environment.
Creating A Service Account
As part of the Backup Exec configuration process, you must create a Backup Exec services account. All Backup Exec
services operate in the context of a user account, which is configured for the Backup Exec system services. You can
create this new account or you can use an existing user account.
To create a service account, follow the steps below:
1. If the media server is a member of a domain, follow the steps below:
a) Enter a domain administrator account.
You can enter an equivalent account that is part of the domain administrators group.
b) In the domain list, select or enter a domain name.
2. If the media server is a member of a workgroup, follow the steps below:
a) Enter the administrator account.
You can enter an equivalent account that is part of the administrators group on the media server.
b) In the domain list, select or enter the computer name.
3. After you enter the required information, click Install.
NOTE: Do not shut down the appliance until automatic disk configuration is complete. Automatic disk configuration
runs in the background and configures the storage attached to the PowerVault DL2
xxx system. The time required
for disk configuration depends on the amount of storage attached to the PowerVault DL2 xxx system.
You can check the Automatic Disk Configuration status in the DL Backup to Disk Appliance Console and the Job Monitor
window in the Backup Exec Administrator Console.
Configuring The PowerVault DL2 xxx System With NIC Teaming
The Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) is pre-installed on the appliance. You use BACS to configure, manage,
and team network interface controllers (NICs) on the PowerVault DL2
xxx system. The benefits of teaming include traffic
load balancing and fault tolerance.
If the Team Management button is not present in the lower left corner of the BACS management tool, install the
Broadcom teaming software. Run setup.exe available at C:\Install\BroadcomAdvanced
\Driver_Management_Apps_Installer. Follow the installation instructions and when prompted, select the Broadcom
Advanced Server Program (BASP) driver to be installed on the local hard drive.
