About storage configuration
NetBackup lets you configure storage options for all protection plans and policies. You can configure storage options for the Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP), Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) for image sharing, AdvancedDisk, Cloud storage, and OpenStorage options. You can also configure NetBackup to work with your universal shares.
You can set up the storage options using the storage option wizard. Access the wizard by clicking on Storage > Storage configuration on the left side. The wizard guides you through the options for AdvancedDisk, Cloud storage, MSDP, MSDP for image sharing, and OpenStorage.
Note:
If you use Key Management Service (KMS), it must be configured before you can select the KMS option in the storage server setup. Refer to NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide for more information.
To ensure that A.I.R and other storage capabilities are displayed accurately for the storage servers on the NetBackup web UI, upgrade the media server. You must upgrade the media server that has NetBackup versions 8.2 or earlier. After you upgrade the media server then use the command line to update the storage server.
Use the following command to update the storage server:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -updatests -storage_server <storage server name> -stype PureDisk
