Configuring an LSU
You can configure a logical storage unit (LSU) as an OpenStorage Technology (OST) connection type container for data
storage by using the DR Series system GUI. To configure an LSU as an OST connection type container, log in to the DR
Series system and complete the following:
1. Navigate to the Containers page (in the Dashboard navigation panel).
2. Click Create to create a new container.
The Create New Container dialog is displayed.
3. In Container Name, enter a name for the container.
4. In Marker Type, select the None marker type.
For OST operations, only the NetBackup and Backup Exec media servers are supported.
5. In Connection Type, set the container type to OST.
The OST pane is displayed, and this is where you can set the capacity for the OST connection type container.
6. In Capacity, select either the Unlimited or Size options to set the capacity for the OST connection type container.
If you select Size, make sure to define the desired size in Gibibytes (GiB).
7. Click Create a New Container (or click Cancel to display the Containers page).
メモ: For general information about creating DR Series system containers, see Creating Containers, and for
creating an OST connection type container, see Creating an OST or RDS Connection Type Container.
メモ: The capacity option in this command example sets the quota on the LSU. This is the maximum number of
bytes (ignoring optimization) that can be written to an LSU and it is listed in the gigabytes (GB). If the capacity
option is not specified (or if 0 is specified for the capacity), then the LSU will not have a quota. If this is the case,
then this means that the amount of data that can be written to the LSU is limited only by the amount of free space
on the disk.
Installing the Dell OST Plug-In
Before you can start the installation process for the Dell OST plug-in, you need to understand its role. The Dell OST plug-
in must be installed on to the media server type you choose (this DR Series system release supports Linux and
Windows). The Dell OST plug-in software enables integration between DR Series system data storage operations and
the supported data management applications (DMAs).
Understanding the Dell OST Plug-In (Linux)
The Dell OST plug-in must be installed on the designated Linux-based media server running the support Linux server
operating system software in the following directory, /usr/openv/lib/ost-plug-ins. The Dell OST plug-in is installed using a
self-extracting installer that installs the OST plug-in and all its related components. The installer supports the following
modes, with the default being Help (-h):
メモ: If no option is selected, the Help mode is displayed by default.
• Help (-h)
• Install (-install)
• Upgrade (-upgrade)
• Uninstall (-uninstall)
• Force (-force)
