Product Overview
The DXi6500 and DXi6700 disk backup and replication appliances use
Quantum’s data deduplication technology to expand the amount of
backup data users can retain on fast-recovery RAID systems by 10 to 50
times. The result is a cost-effective way for IT departments to store backup
data on disk for months instead of days, providing high speed, reliable
restores, increasing available data recovery points, and reducing media
management.
For disaster recovery in distributed environments, the DXi6500 and
DXi6700 systems makes automated WAN replication practical by
dramatically reducing the bandwidth required to move backup data
securely between sites.
DXi6500 and DXi6700 solutions are integrated systems that are easy to
install and use with all leading backup applications. 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.

Installation
Rack Compatibility Nearly all standard four-post EIA 19” server racks are compatible with the DXi6500 and
DXi6700 rack mount kits.
When planning your rack installation, be sure to consider leaving room in the rack for
future system expansion. You can expand the storage capacity of the DXi6500 and
DXi6700 (some configurations) by adding up to six expansion modules.

requirements.
After hardware has been installed and initially configured, you are ready to use your
DXi6500 and DXi6700. The remote management Web pages allow you to reconfigure
your DXi6500 and DXi6700 at any time.

Required Network Information
To utilize the remote management pages of the DXi6500 and DXi6700, you must
connect it to your network.
Note the following considerations:
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is not supported.You must provide a
static IP address at the time of installation.
• The default IP Address is: 10.1.1.1
You and other administrative users can always return to the remote management pages
to modify all DXi6500 and DXi6700 settings, including network settings. Refer to the

included on the Quick Reference and
Network Segmentation Network segmentation provides the ability to split your network into subnetworks or
segments. There are two main purposes for segmenting your network:
• Separate Physical Interfaces - If your network is physically partitioned with no
connectivity between the partitions, the DXi6500 and DXi6700 needs the ability to
communicate with each partition individually.
• Combine or Separate Network Traffic - Network traffic is either separated
according to specific network needs or combined on a single IP address for
simplicity. The DXi6500 and DXi6700 has the capability of separating data traffic,
replication traffic, and management traffic. Each traffic type can have its own IP
address or they can be combined on a single IP address.
Some DXi network settings and configuration combinations can have wide ranging and
subtle effects throughout the server and storage ecosystem. Possible negative effects of
Installation 3
DXi6500 and DXi6700 Site Planning Guide
improper configuration range from sub-optimal performance to “silent” network
problems that are hard to diagnose. In general, the simplest configuration that meets
your requirements is preferred. The guidelines below are presented in sequence from
basic through advanced.
All configuration items described are located in the DXi6500 and DXi6700 remote
management pages, on the Configuration > Network > IP page and the
Configuration > Network > Segmentation and Bonding page.
The recommendations and configurations presented below assume that the DXi6500
and DXi6700 system is being deployed in an environment that is not VLAN managed, or
in a VLAN managed environment that is properly configured for visibility to the DXi.
If your specific requirements cannot be met using any of the configurations described
below, please contact Quantum Customer Support for additional options.
General Recommendations
Chapter 5, “DXi6500 and DXi6700 Configuration,” in the
Guide
contains descriptions of the network segmentation options, however, refer to the
following sections for network segmentation recommendations:
• General Recommendations
• DXi6500 Segmentation Options
• DXi6500 Performance Guidelines
When considering the use of network segmentation, refer to the following general
recommendations:
DXi6500 and DXi6700 User’s
Avoid Segmentation Where Possible
Segmentation options are provided for use in environments where it is required to
separate management, data, and replication traffic, but in most cases this is not
necessary and simply introduces unneeded configuration complexity.
Avoid LACP
While the use of LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) to manage the allocation of
traffic across bonded DXi ports is supported as an advanced configuration option, its
use is discouraged. 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. It has no effect on data reception inbound to the DXi
system. 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.

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
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
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
1 For Segmentation, select BOND ALL (Not segmented).
2 For Bonding, select Round Robin (Mode 0).
3 Connect a single DXi Ethernet port (ETH0 preferred) to your switch and configure IP
information appropriately on the IP page.

ETH5 for DXi6500 Models D6520, 6530,and 6540) to your switch based on your
requirements. Configure IP information appropriately on the IP page.

2 For Bonding, select Round Robin (Mode 0).
3 Connect both DXi 1Gb Ethernet ports (ETH0 and ETH1) to your switch and configure
IP information appropriately on the IP page.
4 Contact your network administrator to create a Round Robin compatible Link
Aggregation Group on the switch encompassing the ports connected to ETH0 and
ETH1.
DXi6500, Model 6550 (2 x 1GbE Ports and 2x 10GbE Ports) - 10GbE Connectivity Is

For simplicity, use of both 10GbE ports simultaneously is discouraged. Configuration
recommendations for the use of bonded 10GbE ports are unique to the type of 10Gb
switch used. Contact Quantum Customer Support for specific guidance if you require
dual-10GbE connectivity.
Advanced Network Recommendations
Advanced configurations include segmentation for separation of data, management,
and replication traffic, but otherwise conform to the General Recommendations
page 4. Switch configuration changes may be required. Note that segmentation is
discrete. For example, if an option indicates ETH0 (Replication) BOND ALL-1
(Management/Data), replication traffic will exclusively traverse port ETH0, and
Management and Data traffic will exclusively traverse ETH1.
