What is an appliance?
Replication can take place between multi-node, single-node, and single-node VSA StoreOnce
Backup systems. The GUI for both refers to both Replication Targets and Sources as appliances.
It is important to understand the different meaning of appliance within the multi-node, single-node,
and single-node virtual environments.
•
In a single-node StoreOnce Backup system, the appliance is the physical device or server that
contains the data to be replicated. All mapping is done using the physical IP addresses of the
target and source StoreOnce Backup systems.
•
In a multi-node StoreOnce Backup system, the appliance is the service set that contains the
data to be replicated. This means that each B6000 Backup system has at least two service
sets that can be selected as appliances. (A fully expanded HP B6000 Backup system would
