      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 22: DVM deduplication cache settings information

   Setting	Description
   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 text box, enter a new amount (in GB). 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 to save the change and exit edit mode, or click to exit edit mode without saving.

Configuring Replay engine settings

   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.
