Configuring Veritas Data Deduplication
To configure Veritas Data Deduplication
- Log on to the Veritas Access application.
The Getting Started with Access Appliance page is displayed.
- Click Provision Storage with Veritas Data Deduplication.
By default, the Configure Storage tab is displayed.
- Create a storage pool, modify disk selections for the pool as required, and then click Configure Storage.
By default, all the available disks are selected for the pool.
When you create a Veritas Data Deduplication storage pool, you need to use five disks or volumes. You add disks or volumes in multiples of five.
- Under the Activate Policy tab, select the Veritas Data Deduplication policy, and then click Activate Policy.
- Click Next.
- Specify the storage options, enter the user name and password for the service, enter a virtual IP for the service, and then click Provision Storage.
You can use:
The virtual IP address to connect to the Data Deduplication server.
Use the Access command-line interface Network> ipaddress show command to find the virtual IP address.
In the Veritas Access GUI, navigate to NAS Infrastructure > Nodes, and click on the node name to see the virtual IP address.
The user name and password to log on to the Veritas Data Deduplication server.
The password needs to be the same as the password you used to configure and add the storage unit on NetBackup.
- View the Recent Activity panel for the status of the task.
