Create a storage unit
Use this procedure to create a storage unit. You should create a storage unit after you create any type of storage server and disk pool. The steps in this procedure also work if you create a new storage unit without creating a storage server and disk pool.
When you view the Storage units tab, the Used space column can be empty for a storage unit that uses a cloud storage provider. NetBackup cannot retrieve the information because the cloud provider does not supply an API for that information.
To create a storage unit
- On the left, click Storage > Storage units. Click the Storage units tab, then click Add..
Another way to create a storage unit is to click Create storage unit at the top of the screen after you have created a disk pool.
- In the Storage type drop-down, select the option you want to use.
- Select the storage unit from the list and click Start.
- In Basic properties, enter all required information and click Next.
- In Disk pool, select the disk pool you want to use in the storage unit and then click Next.
The Enable WORM option is activated when you select a disk pool that supports WORM (Write Once Read Many) storage.
For more information about WORM properties, refer to Configuring immutability and indelibility of data in NetBackup in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I guide.
The On demand only option specifies whether the storage unit is available exclusively on demand. A policy or schedule must be explicitly configured to use this storage unit
- In the Media server tab, select the media servers you want to use and then click Next.
You can have NetBackup select your media server automatically or you can select your media servers manually using the radio buttons.
- Review the setup of the storage unit and then click Save.
