Configuring a Media Server Deduplication Pool storage unit

A NetBackup deduplication storage unit represents the storage in either a Media Server Deduplication Pool or a PureDisk Deduplication Pool. Create one or more storage units that reference the disk pool.

See About disk pools for NetBackup deduplication.

The Disk Pool Configuration Wizard lets you create a storage unit; therefore, you may have created a storage unit when you created a disk pool. To determine if storage units exist for the disk pool, see the NetBackup Management > Storage > Storage Units window of the Administration Console.

To configure a storage unit from the Actions menu

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Storage > Storage Units.
  2. On the Actions menu, select New > Storage Unit.
    New Storage Unit dialog box
  3. Complete the fields in the New Storage Unit dialog box.

    For a storage unit for optimized duplication destination, select Only use the following media servers. Then select the media servers that are common between the two deduplication nodes.
