Use any available media server setting

To allow any media server in the media server list to access the storage (default), select Use Any Available Media Server.

The following items describe the media server functionality for each type of storage:

For AdvancedDisk storage, the media servers are both storage servers and data movers. The media servers that are configured as the storage servers and data movers appear in the media servers list.
For OpenStorage, the media servers that are configured as data movers for the OpenStorage implementation appear in the media server list. (For OpenStorage, NetBackup media servers function as data movers.) If a media server does not appear in the list, verify that the software plug-in is installed and that logon credentials are created.
The following is required on each media server that accesses the storage:
- The vendor's software plug-in is installed.
- The login credentials to the storage server are configured.
For PureDisk (media server deduplication pool and PureDisk deduplication pool), the media servers function as deduplication servers.

NetBackup deduplication must be configured.
For PureDisk (PureDisk Deduplication Option storage pool), the NetBackup media servers function as the data movers. The PureDisk Linux servers function as the storage servers.

PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) must be configured.
