10.4 OST Configuration
The OST page allows you to configure the ETERNUS CS800 to present its storage capacity
as storage servers using OpenStorage (OST) technology. You can add one or more Logical
Storage Units (LSUs) to a storage server. Storage servers and LSUs are compatible with
backup applications that support OST, such as Symantec NetBackup and Symantec
Backup Exec. In addition, OST data can be duplicated (replicated) between ETERNUS
CS800 systems using NetBackup (see "Replicating OST Data" on page 241).
To authenticate OST devices on a media server, you must create OST user credentials. After
you create the OST user credentials, enter them in the backup application to authenticate
OST devices on the media server.
Additional Information
l OpenStorage Technology (OST) is available only on the ETERNUS CS800-NAS and
ETERNUS CS800-Multi-Protocol configuration.

using the following methods:

Duplication
With optimized duplication, backup images on a storage server can be
replicated to another storage server on a ETERNUS CS800 that resides in the
same NetBackup domain. The duplication occurs when it is initiated in
NetBackup. With optimized duplication can specify up to two replication
targets
