Setting a Media Server Deduplication Pool attribute

You may have to set attributes on your existing media server deduplication pools. For example, if you set an attribute on the storage server, you may have to set the same attribute on your existing deduplication disk pools.

To set a MSDP disk pool attribute

  1. The following is the command syntax to set a deduplication pool attribute. Run the command on the master server or on the storage server.

    nbdevconfig -changedp -dp pool_name -stype PureDisk -setattribute attribute

    The following describes the options that require the arguments that are specific to your domain:

    -changedp pool_name

    The name of the disk pool.

    -setattribute attribute

    The attribute is the name of the argument that represents the new functionality.

    For example, OptimizedImage specifies that the environment supports the optimized synthetic backup method.

    The following is the path to the nbdevconfig command:

    • UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd

    • Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd

  2. To verify, view the disk pool attributes.

    See Viewing Media Server Deduplication Pool attributes.
