This wizard is launched when a new Hitachi Content Platform Node is added to the Nodes Inventory.
Note: Ensure that the Proxy Node defined within the wizard and the Hitachi Content Platform node are time synced. If
the time is different by over 5 minutes, then the node creation and future backup may fail.
It is recommend that the system time on all nodes should have the correct date/time
associated with their particular region and time zone.

Figure. Hitachi Content Platform Wizard - Configure HCP Namespace defaults
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Namespace | This is automatically generated for a generation 1 HCP node and is therefore greyed out. For a generation 2 HCP node enter the desired namespace |
| Initial Quota (GB) | Change the namespace quota from the default if required. It is important to
estimate the quota required. Too small a value will result in tiering being stopped
if the quota is exhausted. Too large a value will waste total tenant quota. This value is not displayed when importing an existing generation 2 HCP node. Note: Changing the quota for an existing
HCP node will
only affect newly created namespaces. Existing namespaces created by Protector on that node
will not be affected.
|
| Namespace Soft Quota Level | This is the percentage of free space at which additional backups are prevented |
