Additional prerequis i tes
In addition to the system requirements, the following criteria must be met:
l You must be logged on as an administrator to install DiskSafe Express and run it for
the first time. However , a f ter you have run the applica t ion once as an administrator ,
you can subsequently run it when logged on as a user .
l If your computer name includes any characters other than letters (A–Z or a–z) ,
numbers (0–9), hyphens (-), colons (:), or periods (.), you must change the
compu
t er name before you use DiskSafe Express to protect a disk.
Note: Previous releases allowed the use of underscores (_) in the
computer name. If your computer name included this character and you
protected a
disk, you must remove protection from all disks (as described in “Removing
pro
t ection”), delete the client f rom the storage system (as described in
“Dele t ing a client”), and protect the disks again (as described in “Protecting
your disks”). In addition , when you
pro t ect your disks again, you must remove the storage system from t he list of
backup
locations and add it again (as described in step 4 in “Protecting your
disks”.)
l If you’re using a firewall on the compu t er that you plant to protect, open TCP
port 11762 on the firewall. This ensures that DiskSafe Express can
communicate with the storage system . In addition, make sure that your f irewall
does
no t block incoming network communication to the Microsof t iSCSI Initiator .
