Deleting a Media Server Deduplication Pool

You can delete a disk pool if it does not contain valid NetBackup backup images or image fragments. If it does, you must first expire and delete those images or fragments. If expired image fragments remain on disk, you must remove those also.

See Cannot delete an MSDP disk pool.

If you delete a disk pool, NetBackup removes it from your configuration.

If a disk pool is the storage destination of a storage unit, you must first delete the storage unit.

To delete an MSDP disk pool

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pools.
  2. Select a disk pool
  3. On the Edit menu, select Delete.
  4. In the Delete Disk Pool dialog box, verify that the disk pool is the one you want to delete and then click OK.
