Create a disk pool
Use this procedure to create a disk pool after you create any type of storage server. You can create a disk pool at any time, but disk pool creation requires that you have an existing storage server created.
You can configure MSDP storage server to use cloud storage. To configure, you can select an existing cloud volume or create a new one when you create a disk pool. Use the drop-down in Volumes step to select an existing cloud volume or create a new volume for the MSDP storage server.
When you view the Disk pools tab, the Available space column can be empty for a disk pool 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 disk pool
- On the left, click Storage, click the Disk pools tab, and then click Add.
Another way to create a disk pool is to click Create disk pool at the top of the screen after you have created a storage server.
- In Disk pool options, enter all required information and click Next.
Click Change to select a storage server.
If Limit I/O streams is left cleared, the default value is Unlimited and may cause performance issues.
- In Volumes, use the Volume drop down to select a volume or add a new volume. Enter all required information based on the selection and click Next.
If you want to add a new disk pool volume, use the Add volume option.
- In Replication, click Add to add replication targets to the disk pool.
This step lets you select a trusted master server or add a trusted master server. You can add a trusted master server that supports NetBackup Certificate Authority (NBCA), ECA, and ECA together with NBCA.
Replication is supported only on MSDP and Cloud Catalyst.
Review all the information that is entered for the replication targets and then click Next.
- On the Review page, verify that all settings and information are correct. Click Save.
The disk pool creation and replication configuration continue in the background if you close the window. If there is an issue with validating the credentials and configuration of the replication, you can use the Change option to adjust any settings.
