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.

To create a container with an unassigned connection type, select No Access to create a container for

configuration at a later time.

6.

Click Create a New Container .
After creating a new container, the Containers page is displayed and displays a Successfully Added dialog. The list
of containers in the Containers summary table is updated with your new unassigned container.
