Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

About changing the MSDP storage server name or storage path

You can change the storage server host name and the storage path of an existing NetBackup deduplication environment.

The following are several use cases that require changing an existing deduplication environment:

  • You want to change the host name. For example, the name of host A was changed to B or a new network card was installed with a private interface C. To use the host name B or the private interface C, you must reconfigure the storage server.

  • You want to change the storage path. To do so, you must reconfigure the storage server with the new path.

  • You need to reuse the storage for disaster recovery. The storage is intact, but the storage server was destroyed. To recover, you must configure a new storage server.

    In this scenario, you can use the same host name and storage path or use different ones.
