Table 32. Add a container as a media for QoreStor
Option
Description

Storage Group Name

Select the name of the storage group.

Container

Select the name of the storage container.

Block size

The default block size is 512 KiB. The block size cannot be changed for Quest QoreStor systems.

Stream Limit

The default value for this setting is 64streams. This setting applies to all NetVault Servers to which the container is added. If the number of data streams exceeds the defined limit for the container, the Media Manager reports an error (“Device has too many streams”).

You can set the soft stream limit to any value between 1 and 512.

NOTE: You must consider target device capability before changing stream limit value for QoreStor.

If the container is added to more than one NetVault Server, set the same soft stream limit on all servers.

Force Add

If the device is already added to another NetVault Server with the same name, select the Force Add check box. This option can be useful if you have performed a disaster recovery to rebuild the NetVault Server.

NOTE: The Quest QoreStor Series systems support three deduplication modes:
•
Passthrough: When this mode is selected, deduplication processing occurs on the Quest QoreStor system. The passthrough mode requires at least 200 MB of free memory on the NetVault Client.
•
Optimized: When this mode is selected, deduplication processing occurs on the NetVault Client. The Optimized mode requires at least 4 GB of free memory on the NetVault Client.
•
Auto: When this mode is selected, NetVault decides the deduplication mode (Passthrough or Optimized) based on the criteria for Passthrough and Optimized.

About NetVault SmartDisk

NetVault SmartDisk provides disk-based storage with optional data deduplication capability.

NetVault SmartDisk uses byte-level, variable block-based software deduplication, which packs up to 12 times more data into the same storage area for a 92 percent reduction in storage footprint. NetVault SmartDisk is installed separately from NetVault.

A NetVault SmartDisk instance consists of one or more Storage Pools and a set of processes that perform backup and deduplication operations. A Storage Pool consists of one or more file system volumes, which can be easily extended by adding more file system paths. An instance can accept data streams from heterogeneous platforms.

You can install a NetVault SmartDisk instance that has deduplication enabled (the default mode) on a dedicated NetVault SmartDisk Server or a NetVault Client. (If deduplication is enabled, you cannot install NetVault SmartDisk on the NetVault Server.) If deduplication is disabled, you can also select the NetVault Server as the host machine.

For more information about installing and configuring NetVault SmartDisk, see the Quest NetVault SmartDisk Installation Guide and Quest NetVault SmartDisk Administrator's Guide.
