Configuring a Veritas Data Deduplication storage unit on NetBackup

Veritas recommends that you run a maximum of 80 parallel duplication streams on Veritas Data Deduplication.

To create a storage server on NetBackup

  1. Log on to the NetBackup primary server from the Java console.
  2. Select Configure Disk Storage Servers.
  3. The Welcome to Storage Server Configuration wizard appears. Select OpenStorage. Click Next.
  4. In the Add Storage Server form, enter the required information.

    • Select the media server from the Media server drop-down box.

    • Enter the storage server type as PureDisk.

    • Enter the FQDN of the storage server configured on the Access Appliance cluster.

      Note:

      If you want to use a host name for the storage server instead of the deduplication IP's FQDN, ensure that it is resolvable to the FQDN configured for the deduplication storage server with DNS.

    • Enter your credentials that you created when you configured Veritas Data Deduplication.

    Click Next.

  5. In the Additional Media Server Configuration for OpenStorage Devices form, specify the media servers that should have access to the OpenStorage device. Click Next.
  6. In the Storage Server Configuration Summary form, verify the storage server configuration. Click Next.
  7. Check the status of the tasks in the Storage Server Configuration Status form. This operation can take some time depending on your configuration.
  8. Verify that the storage server is successfully created and click Next.
  9. The Volume Selection form lists all the volumes.

    Select the storage server volumes that you want to add to the disk pool and click Next.

  10. In the Additional Disk Pool Information form, enter the disk pool name and click Next.
  11. Verify the disk pool configuration summary and click Next.
  12. In the Disk Pool Configuration Status form, create a disk pool.

    Verify that the disk pool is created successfully. Make sure that the Create a storage unit using the disk pool that you have just created check box is selected.

  13. In the Storage Unit Creation wizard, enter the storage unit name. Select Only use the selected media servers. Select the media server in the list and update the maximum concurrent jobs field as per the NetBackup recommendations.

    Refer to the Veritas NetBackup product documentation for more details.

    If the Access Appliance Veritas Data Deduplication is configured with the WORM option and you want to store the WORM-enabled images from NetBackup, then select the Use WORM check-box

    To use this option, you should have created a WORM capable storage server on Access Appliance.

    See Configuring Veritas Data Deduplication with WORM using GUI.

    Click Next.

  14. Verify that the disk pool creation wizard completed successfully. Click Finish.
  15. Go to NetBackup Management > Storage Units and verify that the storage server has been added successfully.
  16. Go to Media and Device Management > Disk Pools and verify that the disk pool is created successfully.
