data domain and appliance
1....For data domain,we need to create a storage server..This storage server is a physical entity??
2.....When we buy DATA DOMAIN ,they provide customized OS also to manage this data domain.This OS is called Storage server????
3.when we buy DD ,a server comes with it??
4...that server host name(uname -an command) is the name which we give in NETBACKUP ST SERVER CREATION WIZARD?
Please go through NBU Appliance and Dedupe documentation.
You have asked the exact same questions previously about Advanced Disk and MSDP.
