Deleting a deduplication storage server

If you delete a deduplication storage server, NetBackup disables the deduplication functionality and the storage server functionality on that media server.

NetBackup does not delete the media server from your configuration. To delete the media server, use the NetBackup nbemmcmd command.

If a disk pool is configured from the disk volume that the deduplication storage server manages, you cannot delete the deduplication storage server.

Warning:

Do not delete a deduplication storage server if its storage contains unexpired NetBackup images; if you do, data loss may occur.

To delete a deduplication storage server

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Credentials > Storage Server

  2. On the Edit menu, select Delete.

  3. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
