    A storage unit has no relation to the size of the pool so dont confuse storage units with the actual pools

    If you have removed the advanced disk pool (or shrunk it to nothing  - i hope everything you did was using the CLISH or web gui for the appliance) then if it is no longer used you can delete that from the console - you do have to do this in the right order though as per the tech notes

    If the de-dupe pool has been expanded then it would usually update the sizes automatically but if not right click on that disk pool and choose "inventroy disk pool"

    This allows you to run an inventory which basically updates the information about the pool (which would include the new size)

    It may just be how you have written it but it does concern me when you say things like partitioning and created MSDP - did you do anything manually on the appliance here or was it all done viw the CLISH or web GUI?

thanks for all of you, 

let me explain to you more about the current setup and mu confusion,

this is an appliance 5230 , initially i have petitioning the appliance in 2 partition one Dedup almost 80%

and advanceDisk 20%, i have created MSDP then create both disks pools (in the attached pic) then i have created the stu on Advance disk pool which we start all the backups on to it, later one what i did is ,

i have repartitioning the appliance  by deleting the 20% advance disk partition and then  i shrink the dedup petition to 100% (full size ) 

then from NBU console i have deleted the  stu which is reside on Advance disk pool,

then create another stu on pureDisk which all my backup policy running on to it,

 

my questions is:

1- as you see in the attached pic for both disk pools, we have available space for both , the new_pool which i don't need has 22 TB , if i delete this pool is that mean i will have 22TB free space that can be added to the other disk pool which is pureDisk? then this size will be reflecting to the stu reside on the pureDisk pool?

2-pureDisk pool has 19TB , is that mean that the stu which is created has 19 TB capacity size?

So whatever all of you advise me before is applicable ?

 

note: AIR is configured already on this server as source Domain for the pureDisk pool which is fine and what we need,

 

thanks ,
