How to Install Veritas Access 3340 NAS/DAS Storage System

• Step 1: Prepare and rack the unit: Choose a stable, climate-controlled location and ensure proper ventilation. Verify that the chassis is secured, cables are organized, and label the power and network connections for easy maintenance.
• Step 2: Connect power and network: Attach redundant power where available, connect network interfaces to secured VLANs or trusted segments, and boot the system to begin the initial platform initialization.
• Step 3: Access the management interface: Open the browser-based management console from a supported workstation. Authenticate with the default administrator credentials, then immediately configure initial security settings, time synchronization, and system health monitoring preferences.
• Step 4: Create storage pools and shares: Define appropriate storage pools that reflect performance and capacity requirements, then provision file shares or block-access resources. Apply data protection policies and enable encryption for sensitive data where needed.
• Step 5: Enable protection, integration, and monitoring: Configure snapshots, replication, and disaster recovery workflows. Integrate with backup software and cloud tiers, enable alerting, and set up routine health checks to ensure ongoing stability and compliance.
