NBU 8.2, RHEL7.7
when creating a disk pool (i have a 14TB partition; xfs filesystem), it is not showing any PureDisk storage.
when i try to use the disk storage servers, it asks me for SPA credentials. i don't have an appliance.
how then to use my xfs partition as a PD type storage?
found it.
it should be create Media Server Deduplication Pool.
documentations not clear.
