Viewing Media Server Deduplication Pool attributes

Use the NetBackup nbdevquery command to view deduplication pool attributes.

To view MSDP pool attributes

  • The following is the command syntax to view the attributes of a deduplication pool. Run the command on the NetBackup master server or on the deduplication storage server:

    UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevquery -listdp -dp pool_name -stype PureDisk - U

    Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevquery -listdp -dp pool_name -stype PureDisk - U

    The following is example output:

    Disk Pool Name   : MediaServerDeduplicationPool
    Disk Pool Id     : MediaServerDeduplicationPool
    Disk Type        : PureDisk
    Status           : UP

    Flag             : AdminUp
    Flag             : InternalUp
    Flag             : LifeCycle
    Flag             : CapacityMgmt
    Flag             : OptimizedImage
