Configuring DVM deduplication cache settings

For conceptual information about deduplication, see Deduplication in Rapid Recovery. For recommendations about settings to use, see Understanding deduplication cache and storage locations.

Complete the steps in this procedure to configure deduplication cache settings for DVM repositories.

  1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
  2. On the icon bar, click [Settings] (Settings), and then do one of the following:
    • From the list of Core settings on the left side of the Settings page, click DVM Deduplication Cache.
    • Scroll down on the right side of the Settings page until you can see the DVM Deduplication Cache heading.
  3. If you want to restore default DVM deduplication cache settings at any time, do the following:
    1. At the top of the deduplication cache settings area, click [Restore default] Restore Default.

      The Restore Default dialog box appears

    2. Click Yes to confirm the restore.
  4. Click the setting you want to change.

    The setting you selected becomes editable.

  5. To change individual deduplication cache settings, enter the configuration information as described in the following table.
    Table 25: DVM deduplication cache settings information
    Setting Description
    [Restore default] Restore Default This control resets DVM cache locations to system default locations, which are described for each setting.
    Primary cache location If you want to change the primary cache location for DVM repositories, then in the Primary cache location text box, type the path for a storage location accessible to the Core.

    The default location is:

    C:\ProgramData\AppRecovery\RepositoryMetaData\PrimaryCache

    Since the primary and secondary caches are the same size, collective storage for these two caches requires twice the amount of space as the amount allocated for the deduplication cache size. For example, if you specify the default amount of 1.5GB for the deduplication cache size, ensure that each of the two storage locations have at least 1.5GB. In particular, if both locations belong to the same drive (for example, the C drive), there must be at least 3.0GB of free disk space.

    Secondary cache location If you want to change the secondary cache location for DVM repositories, then in the Secondary cache location text box, type the path for a storage location accessible to the Core.

    The default location is:

    C:\ProgramData\AppRecovery\RepositoryMetaData\SecondaryCache

    Cache metadata location If you want to change the cache metadata location for DVM repositories, then in the Cache metadata location text box, type the path for a storage location accessible to the Core.

    The default location is:

    C:\ProgramData\AppRecovery\RepositoryMetaData\CacheMetadata

    Deduplication cache size (GB)

    If you want to change the deduplication cache size for DVM repositories, then in the Deduplication cache size (GB) text box, enter a new amount in gigabytes.

    NOTE: If you decrease the size of the deduplication cache, the existing contents of the cache are flushed, and the cache is recreated.

    The default location is:

    C:\ProgramData\AppRecovery\RepositoryMetaData\SecondaryCache

    The minimum cache size setting is 1.5GB. Additionally, the cache size cannot exceed 50 percent of the installed RAM.

  6. For each setting, when satisfied with your changes, click [Save] to save the change and exit edit mode, or click [Cancel] to exit edit mode without saving.

Configuring Replay engine settings

You can configure information regarding the Replay engine, which is the communication channel for Rapid Recovery. These settings determine Core settings to provide effective communication.

In general, Quest recommends using default settings. In some cases, you may be directed by Quest Data Protection Support to modify these settings to help adjust the performance specific to your network needs.

Complete the steps in this procedure to configure Replay engine settings.

  1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
  2. On the icon bar, click [Settings] (Settings), and then do one of the following:
    • From the list of Core settings on the left side of the Settings page, click Replay Engine.
    • Scroll down on the right side of the Settings page until you can see the Replay Engine heading.
  3. Click on the setting you want to change.

    The setting you selected becomes editable.

  4. Enter the configuration information as described in the following table.
    Table 26: Replay engine settings information
    Text Box Description
    IP address The Core uses this IP address when performing mount and restore for a recovery point, to allow feedback between protected machines and the Сore.

    The IP address for the Replay engine automatically populates with the IP address of the Core machine. If you manually enter the server IP address, then this value is used in cases where the protected machine cannot resolve the automatically provided IP address.

    You do not need to set this value manually unless you are having issues with protected machines being able to communicate with the Core.

    Preferred port Enter a port number or accept the default setting. The default port is 8007.

    The port is used to specify the communication channel for the Replay engine.

    Port in use Represents the port that is in use for the Replay engine configuration.
    Allow port auto-assigning Click for allow for automatic TCP port assignment.
    Admin group Enter a new name for the administration group. The default name is BUILTIN\Administrators.
    Minimum asynchronous I/O length Enter a value or choose the default setting. It describes the minimum asynchronous input/output length.

    The default setting is 65536.

    Read timeout Enter a read timeout value or choose the default setting. The default setting is 00:05:00.
    Write timeout Enter a write timeout value or choose the default setting. The default setting is 00:05:00.
    Receive buffer size Enter an inbound buffer size or accept the default setting. The default setting is 8192.
    Send buffer size Enter an outbound buffer size or accept the default setting. The default setting is 8192.
    No delay It is recommended that you leave this check box unchecked as doing otherwise will impact network efficiency. If you determine that you need to modify this setting, contact Quest Data Protection Supportfor guidance in doing so.
  5. For each setting, when satisfied with your changes, click [Save] to save the change and exit edit mode, or click [Cancel] to exit edit mode without saving.
