The following defines the storage for the NetBackup Media Server Deduplication Option:
|
Storage media |
Disk |
|
Connection |
Storage area network (SAN), direct-attached storage (DAS), or internal disks |
|
Minimum performance |
130 MB/sec minimum read and write |
The storage must be configured and operational before you can configure deduplication in NetBackup.
NetBackup requires exclusive use of the disk resources. If the storage is used for purposes other than backups, NetBackup cannot manage disk pool capacity or manage storage lifecycle policies correctly. Therefore, NetBackup must be the only entity that uses the storage.
Local disk storage may leave you vulnerable in a disaster. SAN attached disk can be remounted at a newly provisioned server with the same name.
