   Table 1 Parameter description

   Parameter	Description	Setting Rule
   Name	Name of a user-defined repository	The name contains 1 to 128 characters and can contain letters, digits, plus signs (+), underscores (_), hyphens (-), periods (.), and at signs (@).
   Description	Description of a repository	The description contains a maximum of 1,024 characters.
   Storage Pool	Select an existing storage pool and create a repository based on the storage pool.	If a storage pool has been planned for a repository, select the planned storage pool. If no storage pool is planned for a repository and the existing resources need to be used, select a proper storage pool that can provide sufficient storage space for the backup data.
   Full Quota	Enable or disable full quota.	ON: The repository capacity is the maximum available capacity. OFF: The repository capacity is specified by a user.
   Capacity	Capacity of a repository This parameter is available only when Full Quota is OFF.	The repository capacity must be greater than the total capacity of the unallocated space in the selected storage pool.
   Alarm Threshold	If the repository usage exceeds the threshold, an alarm is reported, prompting you to expand capacity or delete unneeded backup data. If you do not do so, subsequent backup jobs may fail.	An appropriate alarm threshold helps you monitor the capacity usage of a repository. The default threshold is 80%. You are advised to set this parameter to a value ranging from 70% to 90%.
