Hi Guys,

Is it possible to use a 1 storage for 2 MSDP?.

What I mean is there are 2 Master server (Production and DR) and each have 2 media server configure as MSDP

These media servers have same storage use with different path.

Hi @jjimenez2 

It partly depends on what you mean. 

If you are talking about using the same storage array for the MSDP volumes - each MSDP being a separate volume, then this is doable (maybe not good practice since all your backup data is in one place, but that is a different issue). 

If you are talking about using the same data volume between two MSDP pools, then possibly - have a review of the MSDP multi-domain support (https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/doc/25074086-138900239-0/v136367025-138900239) and see if this is what you are trying to do (in this case there is "global" deduplication between the two MSDP pools, but the backup data for each pool remains separate - a backup image may share a chunk of data, but the other MSDP server has no knowledge of the backup image). 

If neither of the above is what you are looking to do - explain further what you are trying to achieve.

Cheers
David
