About the Disk Pool Configuration Wizard

Use the Disk Pool Configuration Wizard to create pools of disk volumes for backups by one or more media servers.

The wizard action depends on the NetBackup disk type, as follows:

AdvanceDisk

The wizard discovers the disk volumes that are attached to a NetBackup media server. (Attached means a file system mount on the storage.)

OpenStorage

The wizard discovers disk volumes in an intelligent disk appliance.

PureDisk

The wizard discovers the storage for NetBackup deduplication or discovers the storage for PureDisk deduplication. The PureDisk storage is a PureDisk Storage Pool Authority.

SharedDisk

The wizard discovers preallocated logical unit numbers (LUNs) on disk arrays on Storage Area Networks

See About SharedDisk support in NetBackup 7.0 and later.
