Deactivating MSDP
You cannot remove the deduplication components from a NetBackup media server. You can disable the components and remove the deduplication storage files and the catalog files. The host remains a NetBackup media server.
This process assumes that all backup images that reside on the deduplication disk storage have expired.
Warning:
If you remove deduplication and valid NetBackup images reside on the deduplication storage, data loss may occur.
Table: Remove MSDP
Step | Task | Procedure |
---|---|---|
Step 1 |
Remove client deduplication |
Remove the clients that deduplicate their own data from the client deduplication list. |
Step 2 |
Delete the storage units that use the disk pool |
See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I: |
Step 3 |
Delete the disk pool | |
Step 4 |
Delete the deduplication storage server |
See Deleting an MSDP storage server. Deleting the deduplication storage server does not alter the contents of the storage on physical disk. To protect against inadvertent data loss, NetBackup does not automatically delete the storage when you delete the storage server. |
Step 5 |
Delete the configuration |
Delete the deduplication configuration. |
Step 6 |
Delete the deduplication host configuration file |
Each load balancing server contains a deduplication host configuration file. If you use load balancing servers, delete the deduplication host configuration file from those servers. |
Step 7 |
Delete the storage directory and the database directory |
Delete the storage directory and database directory. (Using a separate database directory was an option when you configured deduplication.) Warning: If you delete the storage directory and valid NetBackup images reside on the deduplication storage, data loss may occur. See the operating system documentation. |
