OST Wizard
The OST wizard provides guided assistance for configuring the DXi4700 to present its storage as one or
more OST (OpenStorage) storage servers for use with a backup application. The wizard guides you through
the process of adding one or more OST storage servers and configuring LSUs (logical storage units). The
wizard also provides a link for downloading and installing the OST Plug-in on your backup host.
Additional Information

l You cannot use the OST wizard to edit existing storage servers or LSUs. For more information about
working with OST, see OST Configuration on page 231.
