i'm migrating our old 7.7.3 server to 8.1.2 and i start with fresh install of 7.7.3 on solaris 11.
during installation, i entered two license keys. checking on the console's Help/License Keys, PureDisk Option is listed there.
but when i try to create a new disk pool (type PureDisk), i don't see it listed.
from the old server, PD is listed
is there anything else that needs to be done to get PureDisk listed as storage type?
to check if i'm missing a license, i exported the license from my old, but working NBU master/media server to file1.
i then exported the license from the new, still being configured NBU master/media server to file2.
i compared file1 and file2. the only difference is the date of their installations. everything else checks out.
still looking why in the new server, there is no PureDisk storage server type when adding new disk pool.
After adding license keys to a NetBackup Server, the application needs to be restarted.

i restarted the whole server. no change.
i'm scratching this approach and will go for RHEL 8 on the new hardware.
will also use xfs for my MSDP partition. same as with the old server.
too bad solaris and zfs is not well supported. they're stable.
