[. . . ] They provide best-inclass performance with flexible, easy-to-use NAS and OST presentations as well as Ethernet and optional Fibre Channel connectivity. DXi6500 and DXi6700 appliances are part of a comprehensive set of backup solutions, serviced and supported by Quantum, the leading global specialist in backup, recovery, and archive. www. quantum. com DXi6500 and DXi6700 Site Planning Guide Included With Your DXi6500 and DXi6700 The DXi6500 and DXi6700 are fully configured to your specifications and pre-tested in the factory. Every DXi6500 and DXi6700 configuration arrives with all necessary parts included. Each system comes with an accessory kit containing rack-mount hardware and a Quick Reference and Documentation CD which includes the User's Guide. Licenses The following licenses are included with the DXi6500 and DXi6700. [. . . ] LACP configuration can be complex, and improper configuration can render your system inaccessible. Use Round Robin Where possible, use of balanced Round Robin (Mode zero) bonds is preferred for simplicity. Round Robin refers to the method used by the DXi system to balance outbound data transmission. Inbound traffic is controlled by the load balancing algorithm within the upstream Ethernet switch. Based on the switch algorithm in use, traffic observed inbound to the DXi system may or may not appear balanced. This is normal. 4 Installation DXi6500 and DXi6700 DXi6500 Segmentation Options The following network segmentation recommendations are listed in order of complexity: · Basic Network Recommendations · Intermediate Network Recommendations · Advanced Network Recommendations Basic Network Recommendations Basic network configurations do not include network segmentation, do not require switch re-configuration, and conform to the General Recommendations on page 4. No Segmentation means that data, replication, and management traffic may use the same network. If your network policies require separation of replication or management traffic, continue to the Advanced Network Recommendations on page 6. DXi6500, Model 6510 (2 x 1GbE Ports) and DXi6500, Models 6520, 6530, and 6540 (6 x 1GbE Ports) If less than 1Gb per second (~450GB/hr) of performance is required, follow these steps. Otherwise proceed to the Intermediate Network Recommendations on page 6. 3 Connect a single DXi Ethernet port (ETH0 preferred) to your switch and configure IP information appropriately on the IP page. DXi6500, Model 6550 (2 x 1GbE Ports and 2 x 10GbE Ports) -10GbE Connectivity Not Available If single 1Gb port connectivity meets requirements, follow these steps. Otherwise proceed to the Intermediate Network Recommendations on page 6. 3 Connect a single DXi 1Gb Ethernet port (ETH0 preferred) to your switch and configure IP information appropriately on the IP page. DXi6500, Model 6550 (2 x 1GbE Ports and 2x 10GbE Ports) - 10GbE Connectivity Is Available If single 10Gb connectivity is desired and meets requirements, follow these steps. Otherwise proceed to the Intermediate Network Recommendations on page 6. 3 Connect a single DXi 10Gb Ethernet port (ETH4 preferred) to your switch and configure IP information appropriately on the IP tab. Installation 5 DXi6500 and DXi6700 Site Planning Guide Intermediate Network Recommendations Intermediate network configurations do not include segmentation, but do require switch re-configuration and conform to the General Recommendations on page 4. No Segmentation means that data, replication, and management traffic may use the same network. If your network policies require separation of replication or management traffic, continue to the Advanced Network Recommendations on page 6. DXi6500, Model 6510 (2 x 1GbE Ports) and DXi6500, Models 6520, 6530, and 6540 (6 x 1GbE Ports) If multiple 1Gb port connectivity is required, follow these steps: 1 For Segmentation, select BOND ALL (Not segmented). 3 Connect multiple DXi Ethernet ports (ETH0­ETH1 for DXi6500 Model 6510, or ETH0­ ETH5 for DXi6500 Models D6520, 6530, and 6540) to your switch based on your requirements. 4 Contact your network administrator to create a Round Robin compatible Link Aggregation Group on the switch encompassing all connected ports. 2 Connect both DXi 1Gb Ethernet ports (ETH0 and ETH1) to your switch and configure IP information appropriately on the IP page.
