Appliance Model is NetBackup Appliance 5220.
Appliance Version is 2.5.1.
It is normal to ned up like this .. but your appliance is not configured for optimal performance due to splitting your de-dupe across the shelf an dthe header unit.
It does mean loosing 4TB of de-dupe space but it would perform better if you only had the de-dupe located on the shelf. You could have the 4TB on the header used as Advanced Disk if you wanted to - trouble is that your unit is pretty full (96% full by the looks of it) so you would need to do a lot of cleanup to reduce the size before you could move it.
If you did want to use that last little bit you could resize it - just work out what the total size would be in GB and resize it to that. (you can also use the web interface)
