Setting deduplication pool attributes

You may have to set attributes on your existing media server deduplication pools. For example, if you configure the storage server to support optimized synthetic backups, you must then configure the existing deduplication pools for the same support.

To set a Media Server Deduplication Pool attribute

The following is the command syntax to set a deduplication pool attribute. Run the command on the master server or on the storage server.

install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -changedp -dp pool_name -stype PureDisk -setattribute attribute

The following describe the options that require your input:

-changedp pool_name

The name of the disk pool.

-setattribute attribute

The attribute is the name of the argument that represents the new functionality.

For example, OptimizedImage specifies that the environment supports the optimized synthetic backup method.
