DXi V-Series Firmware Image Update

Version 2.3.4

This newest version has some exciting new features and enhancements including:

• Web Browser Compatibility– Access the DXi Remote Management Console using Google Chrome, in addition to Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
• Help Menu– Quickly access documentation and learning resources on Quantum.com, as well as the built-in online help, using the Help drop-down menu.
• Multiple Replication Targets– Replicate data from a source DXi system to up to two target DXi systems. Each share or partition can be configured individually to replicate to one or both targets, and replication can be paused per target.
• Replication Send Page– The redesigned Replication > Send page lets you easily manage data replication for all shares or partitions. In addition, you can quickly enable or disable replication for one or more shares or partitions.
• OST Status Page– The enhanced Status > OST page provides statistics for recent OST optimized duplication as well as DXi Accent activity.
• Replication Configuration Page– The redesigned Configuration > Replication page allows you to manage both replication targets and sources using a single, unified interface.
• Increased Replication Snapshots– You can retain up to 32 snapshots for each share or partition configured for replication.
• Scheduler Page– The redesigned Configuration > Scheduler page provides tools for quickly adding a new scheduled event, as well as for managing schedules for multiple shares or partitions.
• Network Address Translation (NAT)– You can specify a NAT IP address for the DXi to enable replication across a public network, when the source and target are located behind NAT-enabled routers.
• Software Upgrade Utility– The Software Upgrade Utility can automatically check for software upgrades for your DXi system. If an upgrade is found, you can choose to download and install it to update your DXi to the latest software version.
• Chargeback Reporting– DXi Advanced Reporting enables per share reporting, also called chargeback reporting. Using the chargeback reports, you can see ingest, incoming replication, and outgoing replication statistics for individual CIFS/NFS shares, OST LSUs, or VTL partitions.
