Configuring a disk pool for deduplication
The NetBackup Storage Server Configuration Wizard lets you configure one disk pool during storage server configuration. To configure additional disk pools, launch the Disk Pool Configuration Wizard. Before you can configure a NetBackup disk pool, a NetBackup deduplication storage server must exist.
See About disk pools for NetBackup deduplication.
When you configure a deduplication disk pool, you specify the following:
The type of disk pool:
A on the disk storage that is attached to a NetBackup deduplication media server.
The deduplication storage server to query for the disk storage to use for the pool.
The disk volume to include in the pool.
NetBackup exposes the storage as a single volume.
The disk pool properties.
Veritas recommends that disk pool names be unique across your enterprise.
To configure a deduplication disk pool by using the wizard
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, select either NetBackup Management or Media and Device Management.
- From the list of wizards in the right pane, click Configure Disk Pool.
- Click Next on the welcome panel of the wizard.
The Disk Pool Configuration Wizard panel appears.
- On the Disk Pool Configuration Wizard panel, select the type of disk pool you want to configure in the Storage server type window.
The types of disk pools that you can configure depend on the options for which you are licensed.
After you select the disk pool in the Storage server type window, click Next.
- On the Storage Server Selection panel, select the storage server for this disk pool. The wizard displays the deduplication storage servers that are configured in your environment.
Click Next.
- On the Volume Selection panel, select the volume for this disk pool.
Media Server Deduplication Pool
All of storage in the Storage Path that you configured in the Storage Server Configuration Wizard is exposed as a single volume. The PureDiskVolume is a virtual name for that storage.
After you select the volume, click Next.
- On the Additional Disk Pool Information panel, enter the values for this disk pool.
See Media Server Deduplication Pool properties.
After you enter the appropriate information or select the necessary options, click Next.
- On the Disk Pool Configuration Summary panel, verify the selections. If OK, click Next.
To configure the disk pool, click Next.
- The Disk Pool Configuration Status panel describes the progress of the operation.
After the disk pool is created, you can do the following:
Configure a storage unit
Ensure that Create a storage unit using the disk pool that you have just created is selected and then click Next. The Storage Unit Creation wizard panel appears. Continue to the next step.
Exit
Click Close.
You can configure one or more storage units later.
See Configuring a Media Server Deduplication Pool storage unit.
- In the Storage Unit Creation panel, enter the appropriate information for the storage unit.
See Media Server Deduplication Pool storage unit properties.
After you enter the appropriate information or select the necessary options, click Next to create the storage unit.
- After NetBackup configures the storage unit, the Finished panel appears. Click Finish to exit from the wizard.
