OST Configuration
The OST page allows you to configure the DXi6900 to present its storage capacity as storage servers using
OpenStorage (OST) technology. You can add one or more Logical Storage Units (LSUs) to a storage
server. Storage servers and LSUs are compatible with backup applications that support OST, such as
Symantec NetBackup and Symantec Backup Exec. In addition, OST data can be duplicated (replicated)
between DXi systems using NetBackup (see
To authenticate OST devices on a media server, you must create OST user credentials. After you create the
OST user credentials, enter them in the backup application to authenticate OST devices on the media
server.
