For vRanger and NetVault SmartDisk to integrate, you must use the following versions:
NetVault SmartDisk has the following software requirements for Windows®:
|
• |
Microsoft Visual C++: If it is not already installed, NetVault SmartDisk automatically installs the applicable portions of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package. No additional steps are required by you. |
|
• |
System-memory requirements: Verify that your Windows system has at least 2 gigabytes (GB) plus 400 megabytes (MB) for every terabyte (TB) of data that the Chunk Store must address. |
The NetVault SmartDisk server must meet the following hardware requirements:
|
• |
Processor requirements: Processor requirements vary based on the required NetVault SmartDisk Deduplication Rate (the rate at which NetVault SmartDisk deduplicates data) — the higher the Deduplication Rate requirements, the higher the CPU requirements for the machine where NetVault SmartDisk software is installed. Generally, the NetVault SmartDisk machine should be equipped with two dual-core processors. |
|
• |
Network requirement for all NetVault SmartDisk Instances: TCP/IP name resolution. After the machine that hosts the NetVault SmartDisk software has been identified, verify that the machine can resolve its own host name. |
|
• |
Storage Pool requirements: For Storage Pool requirements based on whether your goal is simplified management or optimal performance, see Defining a NetVault SmartDisk Storage Pool strategy. |
|
• |
Administrator account for installation: Administrator credentials are only required for use during the installation process, removal process, and, if necessary, manually restarting the NetVault SmartDisk Services. |
|
• |
NetVault SmartDisk Non-privileged Group and User: Security group with full NetVault SmartDisk configuration and monitoring rights. You are not required to create the non-privileged user before installation. You can enter the applicable information during the installation process. The installer verifies that the account meets all applicable system requirements before continuing with the installation process. |
|
• |
UNC path and credentials if using a network share on Windows: You can specify a path that includes a network share, whether it is mapped or using Universal Naming Convention (UNC). To do so, the parent directory of the target directory must exist — the target directory does not have to exist yet — and you must have the access credentials. |
The NetVault SmartDisk installer grants read- and write-access permission to the specified non-privileged user during the installation process. This access, which lets NetVault SmartDisk report Windows® Events, only applies to the Application log.
If you change the non-privileged user by using smartdisk password, the same rights are granted to the new user. The rights are retained for the original user because the original user might be assigned to multiple services on the same system. For the same reason, this access is also retained if you remove NetVault SmartDisk.
