Configuring default settings for Disk Devices Plug-in

Configuring default settings for Disk Devices Plug‑in

The Disk Devices Plug-in is used to create Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs). You can configure default settings for this plug-in from the Change Settings page.

To configure default settings for the Disk Devices Plug-in:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the NetVault Server Settings page, complete one of the following actions:
•
To configure default settings for the NetVault Server, go to Step 3.
•
To configure default settings for a NetVault Client, click Clients. In the NetVault Clients table, select the client, and click Next.
3
Under Plugins, click Plugin Options.
4
In the Plugin Options dialog box, under Disk Devices Plugin, configure the following options.
 
Table 128. Default settings for Disk Devices Plug-in
Setting
Description

Allow disk libraries to have entry/exit ports

Virtual tape libraries do not have an entry/exit port by default.

To create Virtual Tape libraries that have entry/exit ports (EEPorts), select this check box.

Check available disk space before creating disk libraries

This check box is selected by default.

Before creating a VTL, NetVault performs a disk space check to ensure that the target disk has sufficient space to accommodate the new VTL. On normal file systems you can use this feature to avoid errors during VTL creation.

When creating a VTL on a third-party deduplication appliance or compressed file system, you should disable this feature. To disable disk space checks for VTLs, clear this check box.

Free disk space margin to be used when calculating available disk space

During disk space checks, the free space required on the disk is calculated as follows:

Number of Slots * Media Capacity + <x>

<x> is the additional disk space considered for the following requirements:

•
Disk space required to create the directory structure for the VTL. This requirement varies for different file systems.
•
Disk space required by other applications running on the system.

The default value is 20MB. To change this requirement, type or select the new value.

Unit used to express the free disk space margin in

Type or select the unit used to specify disk space margin. The unit can be MB or GB. The default unit is MB.

Configuring default settings for Verify Plug-in

Configuring default settings for Verify Plug‑in

With a backup job, you can choose to run the verification phase to check the correctness and completeness of a backup at the end of data transfer. NetVault uses the built-in Verify plug-in to perform the verification phase. The Verify plug-in verifies the stream length written to the media and ensures that no blocks were dropped during backup. While the actual backup runs as Phase 1, backup verification runs as Phase 2 of the backup job.

By default, the backup verification job runs on the NetVault Server. You can modify the configuration settings for the plug-in to run the verification on an alternate client or locally on specified clients.

To configure default settings for the Verify Plug-in:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the NetVault Server Settings page, under Plugins, click Verify. In the Verify dialog box, configure the following settings.
 
Table 131. Default settings for Verify plug-in
Setting
Description

Always run Verify locally

By default, the verification phase runs on the NetVault Server.

To avoid data transfers over the network, you can choose to run verification locally on the clients to which the device used for backup is attached. This option is globally applied to all clients. It does not work for clients that do not have a locally attached backup device.

Comma separated list of clients that verify locally

If your backup jobs are distributed across multiple client-attached devices, use this setting to specify a comma-separated list of clients that can run the verification phase locally.

Default client to run Verify

To configure an alternate client to run all verification jobs, specify the client name.

This setting is useful if you use a client-attached device for your backups. It allows you to select the same client to run backup verification jobs.

 
* 
NOTE: You must configure these settings on the NetVault Server.
