    .... 45 TB ... configured as multiple basic disk storage units

    BasicDisk cannot be converted to MSDP.

    Do you have tape where disk backups can be duplicated to and then expired? 
    If not, you will have to provision a separate, single LUN for MSDP pool.

    If the ' multiple basic disk storage units ' are made up of multiple luns and mount points, then it cannot be used for MSDP.
    MSDP needs a single LUN.

    PLEASE go through all of the requirements in NetBackup Deduplication Guide  before configuring anything.
    Planning is key to successful config.
