DIVA Archive MDI settings

These settings are optional on GV STRATUS systems.

Before archiving assets, your K2 system must be assigned with the role of FTP Server.

Since DIVA provides direction oriented FTP transfer and port configuration settings, it is recommended to configure the maximum concurrent number of supported archive and restore operations in this Diva Archive MDI setting. They should be identical to the configuration in the DIVA Manager.

To locate these settings, click Core | MDI Configuration | Managed Devices | Add | Diva Archive
