Configuring deduplication plug-in interaction with the Multi-Threaded Agent
You can control the interaction between the NetBackup deduplication plug-in and the Multi-Threaded Agent. Several settings in the pd.conf file on a host control the interaction. A change in a pd.conf file changes the settings for that host only. If you want the same settings for all of the hosts that deduplicate data, you must change the pd.conf file on all of the hosts.
To configure deduplication plug-in interaction with the Multi-Threaded Agent
- Use a text editor to open the pd.conf file.
The pd.conf file resides in the following directories:
(UNIX) /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins/
(Windows) install_path\&CompanyNameShort;\NetBackup\bin\ost-plugins
- To change a setting, specify a new value. The following are the settings that control the interaction:
MTSTRM_BACKUP_CLIENTS
MTSTRM_BACKUP_ENABLED
MTSTRM_BACKUP_POLICIES
MTSTRM_IPC_TIMEOUT
These settings are described in another topic.
- Save and close the file.
- Restart the NetBackup Remote Manager and Monitor Service (nbrmms) on the host.
