Description
Check to configure DD System Manager to send vendor support notification emails
to Dell EMC.
Use this optional attribute to record the location of your system. If you specify a
location, this information is stored as the SNMP system location.
Description
The name of your DD Boost Storage Unit. You may optionally change this name.
For the default DD Boost user, either select an existing user, or select Create a
new Local User, and enter their User name, Password, and Management Role. This
role can be one of the following:
● Admin role: Lets you configure and monitor the entire protection system.
● User role: Lets you monitor systems and change your own password.
● Security role: In addition to user role privileges, lets you set up security-officer
configurations and manage other security-officer operators.
● Backup-operator role: In addition to user role privileges, lets you create
snapshots, import and export tapes to, or move tapes within a DD VTL.
● None role: Intended only for DD Boost authentication, so you cannot monitor or
configure a system. None is also the parent role for the SMT tenant-admin and
tenant-user roles. None is also the preferred user type for DD Boost storage
owners. Creating a new local user here only allows that user to have the "none"
role.
Description
Select the checkbox if you want to configure DD Boost over Fibre Channel.
Create an Access Group. Enter a unique name. Duplicate access groups are not
supported.
Select one or more initiators. Optionally, replace the initiator name by entering a
new one. An initiator is a backup client that connects to the system to read and
write data using the FC (Fibre Channel) protocol. A specific initiator can support
DD Boost over FC or DD VTL, but not both.
