Configuring an AdvancedDisk disk pool

Configuring an AdvancedDisk disk pool

When you create an AdvancedDisk disk pool, you specify the following:

The NetBackup media servers that share the storage. The media servers must be configured as storage servers. They also function as data movers.

When you specify the storage servers, you associate them with the disk pool. Only those storage servers can access the disk pool.

See About AdvancedDisk storage servers.
The disk volumes to include in the pool.
The disk pool properties.

Symantec recommends that disk volume and disk pool names be unique across your enterprise.

You must first configure storage servers.

To create a disk pool

In the NetBackup Administration Console, select Media and Device Management.
From the list of wizards in the Details pane, click Configure Disk Pool and follow the wizard instructions.

NetBackup does not filter out common file system mount points, such as / and /usr. Therefore, carefully choose the volumes to include in a disk pool.

For help, see the wizard help.
