Select Disk Array to Import screen

See About SharedDisk support in NetBackup 7.0 and later.

This topic applies to SharedDisk only.

Select a disk array from which to create a NetBackup disk pool. NetBackup aggregates the allocated storage into a single pool of storage (a disk pool) you can use for backups. If necessary, backup images span individual disk volumes in a disk pool. Backup images do not span across multiple disk pools.

The disk array must have LUNs allocated for use by NetBackup.

All arrays for the selected media servers appear. You can select only those disk arrays that have full connectivity (on all of the selected media servers) and are free (not already assigned).

If a disk array does not have full connectivity to all selected media servers, obtain full connectivity by doing one of the following:

Change the list of media servers that the wizard can scan. Click Back to return to the previous screen and change the list of media servers.
Add the selected media servers to the host map of the disk array. Then click Back to return to the previous screen and then rescan the media servers.

By default, all free disk arrays and disk arrays that have full connectivity appear.

To view a disk array's properties, select the disk array and click Properties.
