The Basics : Protected Node Parameters : Recovery Node Configuration Parameters
  
Recovery Node Configuration Parameters
There are a few recovery node parameters that vary slightly depending on the operating system:
• Number of CPUs: # of CPUs for this recovery node.
• RN Memory: RN’s memory in GBs.
• RN Keyboard (for console use). The supported keyboard that you want to use with the RN’s console.
• Disk Letter: Disk’s letter, Volume mount, or CIFS mount.
• Mount Point: This parameter varies by platform:
• (Linux) Where the protected node’s filesystem is mounted.
• (Windows) Full path to the directory in which this drive is mounted. Windows drives can be mounted to appear as a directory in another disk. These mounted drives must be protected separately:
1. Select Disk Letter drop‑down list > Volume Mount.
2. In the Mount Point text box, provide the path to the directory. For example: C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\My Documents\public.
• (Windows) Full path (<mount-point>|<url> where url is //<ip-address>/<path>) to the mounted shared volume:
1. Select Disk Letter drop‑down box > CIFS Mount. For example: P:/|//10.20.21.149/public.
To avoid mapping conflicts, refer to Enable onQ to back up shared volumes.
2. In the Mount Point text box, provide the path to the directory.
3. Set the necessary privileges as outlined in Enable onQ to back up shared volumes.
• Format: File system type. This parameter is for Linux only. For requirements and limitations, go to Linux Filesystem Format Requirements.
• VDs: # of virtual disks required to hold the configured disk. Every multiple, or portion thereof, of 1980GB requires a virtual disk. For Unix RNs, each configured disk must fit on a single VD: spanning of virtual disks is only supported for Windows RNs.
• Size: Size of the disk in GBs. Due to a XenServer limitation, a single protected volume for Linux PNs is limited to a maximum size of 2TB. See Linux RN Limitations for more information.
• +: Adds a new line to the Recovery Node Configuration list. In some cases, you need to manually add mount points. See Linux Filesystem Format Requirements for more information.
• -: Removes a highlighted line from the Recovery Node Configuration list.
• REVERT button : Reverts all the fields to the last saved values.
