Creating a 1+1 Group

Applies to version(s) v2.9, v2.10, v3.0

A 1+1 group indentifies the two Tmedia hardware devices that operate together to provide 1+1 backup protection. One device is identified as the primary hardware device, while the other device is identified as the backup hardware device. To create a 1+1 group, you must use the Tmedia Web Portal.

To create a 1+1 group:

1- Click 1+1 in the navigation panel

2- Click Create New 1+1 Group

3- Enter the serial numbers of the primary and 1+1 backup hardware devices.

• Provide a name for the 1+1 group.
• Select the serial number of the primary hardware device. (This field may already be filled.)
• Select the serial number of the 1+1 backup hardware device.
• Set Auto switch-back to cause an automatic switch back to the original primary hardware device when it becomes available. If the field is clear (not checked), then a switch back to the original device will occur only after a manual reboot of the system.
• Click Create

4- Verify that the newly added 1+1 group appears in the 1+1 Groups list.
