MSDP multi-domain support
An MSDP storage server is configured in a NetBackup media server. The NetBackup media servers and clients in the NetBackup domain can use this storage server. By default, the NetBackup media servers and clients cannot directly use an MSDP storage server from another NetBackup domain. For example, NetBackup media servers or clients cannot backup data to an MSDP storage server from another NetBackup domain.
To use an MSDP storage server from another NetBackup domain, the MSDP storage server must have multiple MSDP users. Then NetBackup media servers or clients can use the MSDP storage server from another NetBackup domain by using a different MSDP user. Multiple NetBackup domains can use the same MSDP storage server but each NetBackup domain must use a different MSDP user to access that MSDP storage server.
For more information, See NetBackup Deduplication Guide.
When you add a new MSDP user, the command spauser must be executed in the first MSDP engine of MSDP Scaleout, not on any of the NetBackup servers.
Ensure that you run MSDP commands with non-root user msdpsvc after logging into an engine pod.
For example, sudo -E -u msdpsvc /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/spauser
