Netbackup Deduplication & Disk Pools

I'm just trying to understand if this is supported:

 

Currently have a Windows 2008 R2 server running Netbackup 7.5. It has an existing Netbackup Puredisk pool configured. Instead of messing around with volume expansion etc, I would like to add another volume as a deduplication point on a media server. Netbackup throws an error when trying to add another disk pool (dsm has found that already exists in the database netbackup), and there is no option to add another volume for Puredisk.

 

Can I only have one disk pool and volume per media server?

  • NetBackup deduplication pool would be 1 per media server

    If this volume is about to reach it's threshold value then add another LUN from storage

    and log call with symantec support on assistance of size increase

     

  • So the pool can be expanded with an additional LUN, but Symantec are the only ones that can do it?
