Dell PowerVault DR2000v - Manual (Page 86)

3. In Container Name, type the name of the container.
Container names cannot exceed 32 characters in length, must start with a letter, and can be composed of any
combination of the following characters:
• A-Z (uppercase letters)
• a-z (lowercase letters)
• 0-9 (numbers). Do not start a container name with a number.
• dash (-) or underscore (_) special characters
NOTE: The DR Series system does not support the use of the following special characters in container
names: /, #, or @.
4. In Marker Type, select the appropriate marker that supports your DMA.
• None — Disables marker detection for the container.
• Auto — Automatically detects CommVault, Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), ARCserve, and HP Data Protector
marker types. In addition, select this option if you need to support EMC Networker 2.0.
• Networker — Supports EMC Networker 3.0. If you need to support EMC Networker 2.0, select Auto.
• Unix Dump — Supports the Amanda marker, among others.
• BridgeHead — Supports the BridgeHead HDM marker.
Improper marker selection can result in non-optimal savings. As a best practice, if you have only one type of DMA
with traffic directed to a container, it is best to select the marker type that supports your DMA (for example,
BridgeHead, Auto, or another). Conversely, as a best practice, if you have traffic from a DMA that is not one of the
supported marker types, it is best to disable marker detection for the container by selecting the None marker type.
5. In Connection Type, select RDA .
The RDA pane is displayed.
6. In RDA type, select either OST or RDS.
7. In Capacity, select one of the following options allowed per container:
NOTE: If you select RDS, by default, Unlimited is selected. Under Capacity the Size field is inactive.
• Unlimited: this defines the allowed amount of incoming raw data per container (based on the physical capacity
of the container).
• Size: this defines a set limit in Gibibytes (GiB) for incoming raw data allowed per container.
8. Click Create a New Container (or click Cancel to display the Containers page).
After creating the new container, the Containers page is displayed and includes a Successfully Added dialog. The
list of containers in the Containers summary table is updated with your new container (and its new status is
reflected as N/A in the Replication column of this table).
Creating an Unassigned Connection Type Container

type. When you are ready to configure an unassigned container at a later date, select it in the Containers
summary table, click Edit, and configure it with the desired connection type.
