– Unlimited: this defines the allowed amount of incoming raw data per container (based on the physical

7. Click Create a New Container (or click Cancel to display the Containers page).

Creating an Unassigned Connection Type Container
To create an unassigned container in the DR Series system without a defined connection type (None), complete the
following:
NOTE: The DR Series system allows you to create a container without configuring it with a specific connection
type. When you are ready to configure an unassigned container at a later date, select it in the Containers summary
table, click Edit, and configure it with the desired connection type.
1. Select Storage → Containers.
The Containers page is displayed showing all existing containers.
2. Click Create.
The Create New Container dialog is displayed.
3. In Container Name, type the name of the container.
Container names cannot exceed 32 characters in length, and can be composed of any combination of the following
characters:
NOTE: The DR Series system does not support the use of the following special characters in container
names: /, #, or @.
– A-Z (uppercase letters)
– a-z (lowercase letters)
– 0-9 (numbers)
– dash (-) or underscore (_) special characters
4. In Marker Type, select from the following choices: None, Auto, CommVault, Networker, TSM, or ARCserv.
If you select the Auto marker type, this will enable all marker types to be detected. As a best practice, if you have
only one type of DMA with traffic directed to a container, it is best to select the corresponding marker type (for
example, CommVault). Conversely, as a best practice, if you have traffic from a DMA that is not one of the
supported marker types, it is best to disable marker detection for the container by selecting the None marker type.
5. To create a container with an unassigned connection type, select None to create a container for configuration at a
later time or to disable any specific marker type for the container.
6. Click Create a New Container (or click Cancel to display the Container Summary page).
After creating a new container, the Containers page is displayed and displays a Successfully Added dialog. The list
of containers in the Containers summary table is updated with your new unassigned container.
