Using MSDP Scaleout as a single storage pool in NetBackup

If you did not enable automatic registration of the storage server (autoRegisterOST) in the CR, you can configure it manually using the NetBackup Web UI.

See MSDP Scaleout CR.

To use MSDP Scaleout as a single storage pool in NetBackup

  1. Follow the OpenStorage wizard with storage type PureDisk to create the storage server using the first Engine FQDN.

    MSDP storage server credentials are defined in the Secret resource.

    For more information, see Create a Cloud storage, OpenStorage, or AdvancedDisk storage server topic of the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.

  2. Follow the MSDP wizard to create the disk pool.

    For more information, see Create a disk pool topic of the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.

  3. Follow the MSDP wizard to the storage unit.

    For more information, see Create a disk pool topic of the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.

You can use MSDP Scaleout like the legacy single-node MSDP.
