Setting deduplication storage server attributes

You may have to set storage server attributes to enable new functionality. For example, to support optimized synthetic backups, you must set an attribute.

If you set an attribute on the storage server, you may have to set the same attribute on existing deduplication pools. The overview or configuration procedure for the new functionality describes the requirements.

See Setting deduplication pool attributes.

To set a storage server attribute

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

install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -changests -storage_server storage_server -stype PureDisk -setattribute attribute -media_server media_server

The following describe the options that require your input:

-storage_server storage_server

The name of the storage server.

-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.

-media_server media_server

A NetBackup media server that connects to the storage server. The media server queries the storage server for its capabilities. Because the storage server is also a media server, use the storage server name.
