DXi4800 Site Planning
The DXi4800 disk backup and replication appliance uses 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 DXi4800 system makes automated WAN replication practical by dramatically reducing the bandwidth required to move backup data securely between sites.
DXi4800 solutions are integrated systems that are easy to install and use with all leading backup applications. They provide best-in-class performance with flexible, easy-to-use interface options including NAS, OST, virtual library, or mixed presentations, as well as Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity. The DXi4800 appliance is part of a comprehensive set of backup solutions, serviced and supported by Quantum, the leading global specialist in backup, recovery, and archive.
The DXi4800 is fully configured to your specifications and pre-tested in the factory. Every DXi4800 configuration arrives with all necessary parts included. Each system comes with an accessory kit containing rack-mount hardware and installation instructions.
The following licenses are pre-installed in your initial DXi4800 system order. For all pre-existing systems, license key certificates for the following options can be purchased.
License | Description |
---|---|
NAS |
Enables NAS (NFS, CIFS/SMB) connectivity. |
Data Deduplication |
Enables data deduplication and compression. |
Replication |
Enables replication to other DXi systems. |
Storage Capacity |
Enables the purchased storage capacity for the system. Usable storage capacity can be upgraded at any time after purchase by adding a storage capacity upgrade license to enable installed hardware capacity, up to a total of 315 TB. Note: If you purchase a storage capacity upgrade, you will receive a License Certificate you can use to enable the additional capacity. See Step 7 - Install the Storage Capacity License. |
OST |
Enables OpenStorage backup with Veritas OST. |
Data-at-Rest Encryption |
Enables the use of the Data-at-Rest Encryption capability to secure all data stored on the DXi4800. |
Data-in-Flight Encryption |
Enables use of AES encryption (128-bit, 256-bit, or TLS with AES 256) when sending data to another system using DXi replication or OST Accent. |
VTL |
Enables the VTL interface. |
Backup Application Specific (PTT) |
Enables the backup application specific path to tape capability. The license key is pre-installed on all DXi4800 models. |
Note: Veeam and DAE licenses for your DXi4800 are provided by a license key certificate. Licenses for these features are optional. They are factory installed if ordered with your system, but are not included by default.
License | Description |
---|---|
Dynamic Application Environment (DAE) | Enables the use of a virtual machine environment on the DXi4800. Contact Quantum Sales to purchase a DAE license. |
Veeam | Enable the integration of Veeam Backup and Replication v9.5 with the DXi4800. Contact Quantum Sales to purchase a Veeam license. |
Quantum’s DXi Accent software accelerates backups and reduces network bandwidth 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. For information about installing the OST Plug-in and using DXi Accent, see OST Plugin Configuration.
Data-at-Rest Encryption uses Self Encrypting Drive (SED) technology to secure all data stored on the DXi4800. This includes file data and metadata, configuration files, and the DXi software and operating system. When Data-at-Rest Encryption is enabled, all hard drives in the DXi are paired with the disk controllers using encryption keys. After this, accessing data on the drives requires the same encryption keys and controllers that were used to write the data. This ensures that a drive that is physically removed from the DXi cannot be read using another system or device.
To enable Data-at-Rest Encryption, the feature must be licensed, and all of the drive controllers and hard drives (active and hot spares) in the DXi must support Self Encrypting Drive (SED) technology. A DXi4800 configuration with SED hard drives meets the requirements for Data-at-Rest Encryption.
DXi Cloud Share is a feature that is available in DXi4800 Software 4.9 and above. Cloud Share allows DXi systems to store deduplicated backup data sets to any S3 compliant public or private cloud; providing up to 70 times more efficient use of cloud storage space.
Nearly all standard four-post EIA 19” server racks are compatible with the DXi4800 rack mount kits.
See Rack Space Requirements in DXi4800 System Installation for system rack space requirements.
After hardware has been installed and initially configured, you are ready to use your DXi4800. The remote management console allows you to reconfigure your DXi4800 at any time.
Required Network Information
To utilize the remote management console of the DXi4800, 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 console to modify all DXi4800 settings, including network settings. Refer to the DXi4800 User’s Guide for additional information on initially configuring your DXi4800.
During network configuration, each individual interface on the DXi4800 can be configured as a subnet with its own network settings. Each physical Ethernet port can be configured as an interface. In addition, you can also create bonded interfaces (logical ports) consisting of two or more physical ports.
You can specify the type of traffic allowed on each interface (management, replication, or data). Alternately, you can allow any traffic type 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) where the DXi4800 is connected.
Note: Each configured network interface requires its own set of network settings (IP address, network mask, and gateway).
For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is required. A network switch is not supplied with the DXi4800. The DXi4800 bonding settings must match the switch settings. If the switch settings and the DXi4800 settings do not match, your system may become inaccessible through the switch.
Planning Network Configuration
Prior to installing the DXi4800, contact your network administrator to determine the network settings that will be needed to properly integrate the DXi4800 with your network infrastructure. Consider the following questions:
- What hostname will the DXi be assigned?
- What are the default gateway and DNS servers for your company?
- How many Ethernet cables (1 GbE/10 GbE/25 GbE) will be connected to the DXi?
- Will you configure Ethernet ports individually or bond multiple ports into a single network device?
- If bonding Ethernet ports, what bonding mode is compatible with your network switch (Round Robin, LACP, or Active Backup)?
- How many IP addresses (network interfaces) are required, and what traffic types will be allowed on each interface (Management, Data, and Replication)?
- Will you assign a VLAN Tag ID to an interface?
- Will an interface use Jumbo Frame MTU size?
- What is the IP address, network mask, and gateway to use for each network interface?
- Will host routes be required to communicate with systems that are on subnets not reachable through the default gateway?
The following firewall ports must be opened for correct function of the DXi4800.
TCP Ports Opened for Management Traffic |

TCP Ports Opened for DXi Replication Traffic |

TCP Ports Opened for Data Traffic |
|
UDP Ports Opened for Data Traffic |

Installation and integration of the DXi4800 system by Quantum is not required since the DXi4800 is customer installable and upgradeable. Quantum recommends that system installation be performed only by qualified network or system administrators who have a working knowledge of ISV setup and configuration.
