The Configure SNMP Settings page is displayed.

Configuring SNMP settings

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a commonly used network management protocol that allows SNMP-compatible

management functions such as device discovery, monitoring, and event generation. SNMP provides network management of the

TCP/IP protocol.

To configure SNMP alerts for the appliance:

1. On the Configure SNMP Settings page, select Configure SNMP on this appliance on the Configure SNMP Settings page.

NOTE: Deselect Configure SNMP on this appliance if you do not want to set up SNMP details and alerts on the

appliance and skip to step 6.

2. In Communities, enter one or more SNMP community names.

Use commas to separate multiple community names.

3. In Accept SNMP packets from these hosts, enter the names of hosts with which the appliance can communicate.

Separate the host names with commas, or leave blank to allow communication with all hosts.

4. To configure SNMP alerts, enter the Community Name and the Trap destinations for the SNMP alerts and click Add.

Repeat this step to add more SNMP addresses.

5. To remove a configured SNMP address, in Configured SNMP addresses, select the appropriate SNMP address and click

Remove.

6. Click Next.

The Create Windows and RASR virtual disk(s) page is displayed.

Creating Windows and RASR virtual disk(s)

The DL4300 system supports:

• Two operating system drives, twelve data drives, and four internal hard drives

• Option to create Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) for the Bare Metal Restore (BMR) information to be stored

• Option to create separate space for the Windows backup RASR file.

To create optional virtual disk(s):

1. Select the following virtual disks:

a. Windows Backup virtual disk

CAUTION: If you skipped this option in the AppAssure Appliance Configuration Wizard, you will not be able to

create a Windows Server backup and configure a backup policy.

Windows backup virtual disk provides the target space to create Windows Server backups. A disk space of 75 GB is

allocated by default for the Windows backup VD that is created and you cannot increase the size of the Windows backup

VD. Overtime, the data that is backed up may exceed 75 GB and if it does, you will not be able to perform backup or

configure backup policy on the Backup page and an out of capacity error is displayed. In this case, the Windows backup can

be reconfigured to a network share or to another disk volume on the Dl Appliance. For more information, see Configure a

Scheduled Shared Network Drive Backup Policy section in Recovering a Dell™ DL Backup and Recovery Appliance using

Rapid Appliance Self Recovery (RASR) at Dell.com/supportmanuals.

b. Bootable RASR virtual disk

Bootable RASR virtual disk provides a redundant recovery volume to perform a RASR recovery. You can reboot to the

redundant recovery volume by pressing< F8> during POST. After rebooting, follow the steps in Executing RASR.

2. Click Next.

A thank you screen is displayed while the system is configuring. A Configuration complete message is displayed.

3. Click Exit.

The Core Console launches automatically.
