3 Connect the required Ethernet ports to your switch and configure IP information
appropriately on the IP page.
For simplicity, use of both 10 GbE ports simultaneously is discouraged.
Configuration recommendations for the use of bonded 10 GbE ports are unique to
the type of 10 Gb switch used. Contact Quantum Customer Support for specific
guidance if you require dual-10 GbE connectivity.
4 Contact your network administrator to create a Round Robin compatible Link
Aggregation Group on the switch corresponding to each group of bonded ports.
When connecting to a DXi6500 using NFS, each backup file/job written concurrently to
the DXi6500 is considered a stream. For optimal performance, Quantum recommends
6–8 streams per host (media server).
The recommended number of hosts (media servers) varies by model (see
Network Connectivity
2 x 1 GbE
6 x 1 GbE
6 x 1 GbE
2 x 1 GbE + 2 x 10 GbE
The following firewall ports must be opened for replication to operate optimally:
• Port 80
• Port 1062
Installation and integration of the DXi6500 and DXi6700 systems by Quantum is not
required since the DXi6500 and DXi6700 are customer installable. Quantum
recommends that system installation be performed only by qualified network or system
administrators who have a working knowledge of ISV setup and configuration.
If you want to purchase professional installation services, please contact your Quantum
Sales representative to discuss installation services.
Phone support for the installation process is available via the Quantum support number
for your area. Customers in the U.S. and Canada may call 1-800-284-5101.
