Dell PowerVault DL2000 - Manual (Page 12)

Centralized Management
12 October 2008
REMOTE OFFICE DEPLOYMENT
Your PowerVault DL2000can be deployed in a remote office and centrally monitored and
managed from a Central Admin Server in the main office. When deploying your appliance in this
environment, it may be necessary to set your appliance as a Disconnected Media Server if a slow
or non-persistent network connection is present between the Central Admin Server and the
appliance. Setting the appliance as Disconnected Media Server allows the appliance to operate
independently from the Central Admin Server while maintaining a level of centralization. In this
configuration, the appliance can receive copied jobs from the CAS and be monitored and reported
by the CAS.
