Resizing the MSDP storage partition
If the volume that contains the deduplication storage is resized dynamically, restart the NetBackup services on the storage server. You must restart the services so that NetBackup can use the resized partition correctly. If you do not restart the services, NetBackup reports the capacity as full prematurely.
To resize the MSDP storage
- Stop all NetBackup jobs on the storage on which you want to change the disk partition sizes and wait for the jobs to end.
- Deactivate the media server that hosts the storage server.
See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I:
- Stop the NetBackup services on the storage server.
Be sure to wait for all services to stop.
- Use the operating system or disk manager tools to dynamically increase or decrease the deduplication storage area.
- Restart the NetBackup services.
- Activate the media server that hosts the storage server.
See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I:
- Restart the deduplication jobs.
