| CONFIGURATION TEST | Use this section to test whether the remote Storage Class you have selected can appropriately operate into Data One. Select the Cluster onto which you want to test the connection and press the TEST button. If only one Cluster is available, Data One will automatically select that Cluster to test the Storage Class. A list with the actions that the Storage Class can perform will appear for each peer associated with the selected Cluster. A green check will confirm that the action can be performed. A red exclamation mark will warn that the action cannot be executed. By hovering over each action, a tooltip with the description, elapsed time and transfer rate of the action will appear. Warning: We recommend to choose a remote Storage Class that can sustain all of the actions listed in this test. |
Once you have created the Storage Class, press Save and your Storage Class will appear in the Result list.
