Dell PowerVault DL2000 - Manual (Page 18)

NOTE: Under certain circumstances, a physical disk failure can cause the configuration state to transition from
advanced to standard. In this case, the disk subsystem reverts to advanced after the failed physical disk is
replaced and the copy back operation is complete.
Disk Configuration Policies
You can select one of the following disk configuration policies on the Settings tab in the DL Backup To Disk Appliance
Console if the disk subsystem state is standard.
NOTE: If the disk subsystem state is advanced, the disk configuration policy is automatically set to Manual.
Automatic With Confirmation Policy
The backup application automatically configures available physical disks. You must accept or reject the proposed disk
configuration.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the Automatic with confirmation policy.
Automatic Without Confirmation Policy
The backup application automatically configures available physical disks.
NOTE: Automatic configuration occurs only when the system is in a standard configuration state.
Manual Disk Policy
This policy disables automatic disk configuration. You must manually configure the physical disks using OpenManage
Server Administrator. This disk policy is recommended only for advanced users.
If you select manual disk policy, see
Configuring The Storage Manually after configuring the appliance.
Installing CommVault Simpana
The PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance Configuration Wizard collects information to install and configure the
Simpana Backup and Recovery software.
To designate the role of Simpana Backup and Recovery:
1. In CommVault software setup screen, select either CommServe system and Media Agent or Media agent only.
2. If you select:
– CommServe system and Media Agent — enter the details in E-mail server and E-mail address for alerts.
– Media agent only — enter the details in Name of the CommServe system to connect to.
3. Click CommVault End User License Agreement to read the terms and conditions of the agreement.
4. Select the Accept check-box to continue the installation.

NOTE: Do not turn off the appliance until automatic disk configuration is complete. Automatic disk
configuration runs in the background and configures the storage attached to the PowerVault DL2
x 00 system.
The time required for disk configuration depends on the amount of storage attached to the PowerVault DL2 x 00
system. Check the Automatic Disk Configuration status in the DL Backup to Disk Appliance Console and the
Event Viewer window in the CommCell console.
