Configuring a DR Drill request
To configure a backup set for a DR drill:
1. On the DR Drill menu, click Manage DR Drills. (Alternatively, you can select a backup set from the Customers tab and right-click DR Drill Request. This will automatically skip to step 4.)
2. The DR Drill Requests dialog box appears with a list of all disaster recovery drills configured for the DS-System. You can expand or narrow what is displayed in the list by using the options in the Select by section.
3. To add a new DR Drill Request, click Add.
To edit a pending request, select it and click Edit. The New / Update DR Drill Request dialog box appears.
a) In the Backup Set box, select the backup set that you want to configure for a DR Drill.
b) In the Scheduled Start Date box, select the date when the DR Drill will start. The customer will be able to start a DR Drill for the selected backup set any time during this period.
c) In the
Quota box, select the amount of DR Drill capacity you want to allocate. This is the maximum limit you want to permit to be restored and classified as DR Drill. When the drill period starts, the allocated amount is deducted from your DS-System license’s
DR Drill Capacity. For more information, see
“To view the DS-System’s current license limits and tools:”.
d) Click OK.
4. To stop a scheduled DR Drill before the drill period starts (as long as the status is Pending), select it in the list and click Delete.
