DL Appliance configuration policies (continued)
DescriptionConfiguration policy
Backup Exec does not configure the disk groups or hot spares.
You can use the Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator
to create virtual disks or to configure hot spares. Although
Backup Exec does not issue alerts for physical disk insertions,
it does monitor the status and health of the storage arrays. It
also issues the alerts for storage array capacity issues, or when
the health and status of storage arrays change.

About the Backup Exec license keys
Backup Exec license keys are required to enable the Backup Exec options that are
installed on the DL Appliance. Each license key must be entered on the Backup
Exec Enter License Keys panel that appears during the Backup Exec installation.

Key product card.
You can add licenses or activate additional agents or options at any time after
you configure the DL Appliance. If the evaluation period expires for an agent or
option, you need to enter a license key to continue to use it.
Note: To purchase additional license keys for agents and options, contact your
Dell representative.
