The DXi6701 and DXi6702 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 DXi6701 and
DXi6702 systems make automated WAN replication practical by
dramatically reducing the bandwidth required to move backup data
securely between sites.
DXi6701 and DXi6702 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 interface options including
NAS, OST, virtual library, or mixed presentations, as well as Ethernet and
Fibre Channel connectivity. DXi6701 and DXi6702 appliances are part of a
comprehensive set of backup solutions, serviced and supported by
Quantum, the leading global specialist in backup, recovery, and archive.
Note: This guide is for DXi6701 and DXi6702 with DXi 2.2 Software.

Note: DXi6701 and DXi6702 support NDMP V4.
• Data Deduplication - Enables the data deduplication capability. (License key is pre-
installed on all DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)
• Replication - Enables replication capability. (License key is pre-installed on all
DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)
• Storage Capacity - Enables the installed storage capacity for the system. (License
key is pre-installed on all DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)
A storage capacity license key is pre-installed for all capacity shipped from the

initial point of sale are installed.
Note: If you purchase a storage capacity upgrade, a License Certificate to enable
the additional capacity is included with the upgrade.
• OST - Enables the OpenStorage (OST) connection. (License Certificate is included
with all DXi6701 and DXi6702 models.)
Follow the instructions on the License Certificate to obtain a license key at
www.quantum.com. Installing the OST license also enables the OST Direct PTT (path
requirements by distributing deduplication between the backup server and DXi
appliances. With DXi Accent, backup windows are reduced and network bottlenecks are
eliminated.
To use DXi Accent, you must install the Quantum OST Client Plug-in on the media server.

Rack CompatibilityNearly all standard four-post 19” server racks meeting EIA-310 specifications are
compatible with the DXi6701 and DXi6702 rack mount kits. Rack cabinets meeting
EIA-310 specifications have an alternating pattern of three holes per rack unit with
center-to-center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1-U space) of 15.9 mm,
15.9 mm, and 12.7 mm (0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the front and back
vertical rails. For detailed information, refer to the
and Configuration Guide
(6-67196).

Setup and
Configuration
Note: The rack mounting rails extend to support rack depths from 26.5 to 36.4 inches
(67.3 to 92.4 cm).
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 DXi6701 and
DXi6702 by adding up to nine expansion modules. Also be sure to leave adequate room
behind the rack to open the rear rack door.
See Physical Characteristics
requirements.
After hardware has been installed and initially configured, you are ready to use your
DXi6701 or DXi6702. The remote management console allows you to reconfigure your
DXi6701 or DXi6702 at any time.

Required Network Information
To utilize the remote management console of the DXi6701 or DXi6702, 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
Installation3
DXi6701 and DXi6702 Site Planning Guide
You and other administrative users can always return to the remote management
console to modify all DXi6701 and DXi6702 settings, including network settings. Refer
to the
DXi6700 User’s Guide
for additional information on initially configuring your DXi6701 or DXi6702.
Network ConfigurationDuring network configuration, each physical virtual Ethernet port in the DXi6701 or
DXi6702 can be configured as a separate device. In addition, you can create bonded
devices (logical ports) consisting of two or more physical virtual ports of the same link
speed (1GbE or 10GbE). For each port or device, you can specify the MTU (Maximum
Transmission Unit) frame size, and you can optionally assign the port or device to a
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network).
After you define devices (single port or bonded), you can create up to ten network
interfaces for each device. Each interface has its own IP address information, and you
can specify the types of traffic allowed on the interface (management, replication, or
data). Finally, you can add routing information for an interface to enable connectivity
with devices on different subnets.
Note: You can choose to allow any traffic type (management, replication, or data) on
an interface. In this case, the routing of different traffic types, as well as firewall
capability, must be controlled using the network infrastructure (routers and
switches) that the DXi6701 or DXi6702 is connected to.
included on the Quick Reference and Documentation CD
Caution: For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is
required. (A network switch is not supplied with the DXi6701 or DXi6702.)
The DXi6701 or DXi6702 bonding settings must match the switch settings.
If the switch settings and the DXi6701 or DXi6702 settings do not match,
your system may become inaccessible through the switch.
Firewall PortsThe following firewall ports must be opened for correct function of the DXi6701 or
DXi6702.
