So if I were you I would create this file by running 

touch  /etc/nbapp-release

In my env here is its contents:

MSTERESERVER:/home/maintenance # cat /etc/nbapp-release
system-product-name = S2600GZ
model = 5230

You may want to share the info in trv's post with your Support engineer.

trv, how did you manage to find this info?

Hello Marianne,

Thanks for the response. Below is the output from one of the Netbackup servers with 8.0. "--dsaddpartition" is not listed in command help itself.

** before posting, i did verify deduplication guide and --dsaddpartition was mentioned it.
