Getting Storgae unit group is not supported error while creating Accelerator policy

[rVikas]

Hello Everyone,

I have created a storage unit group with 2 storage units configured in failover mode.

We have DataDomain as Storage target.

Have installed OST plugin 3.0 on media servers.

Have set OptimizedImage attribute on storage server.

Still i get error that Storage Unit group is not supported.

Do i need to set OptimizedImage attribute on disk pools as well?

Correct I am seeing this error

We have Master server installed on Solaris 10, Let me know what should be done..

Did you not read the tech note?

Solution

Close the NetBackup console and open Regedit (Start > Run > regedit) and delete the following key: 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\General\Servers

Exit Regedit and attempt the policy validation again.

Hello Andrew,

I saw that  step however, we dont have Netbackup for Windows Master server

We have Netbackup Java console and our Master is installed on Solaris that the reason i am not able to find key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\General\Servers

I have enabled OptimizedImage attribue for Storage server with command

nbdevconfig -changests -stype DataDomain -storage_server <Storage_server_name >  -setattribute OptimizedImage

Do i need to run below command for assocuated diskpools as well ? 

nbdevconfig -changedp -stype PureDisk -dp [disk pool name] -setattribute OptimizedImage

Will there be any  impact of running this command on disk pools.

So you are not using the WIndows Administrator's GUI like the technote stated. 

Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

I enabled OptimizedImage atribute on diskpools as well and it worked.

However i am not seeing any difference in backup duration

We are having windows client, i just selected "Use accelerator" option and started backup for one of the client. 2nd immediate full backup also taking same duration as with 1st full backup.

However i could see few differences in detailed status:

1st Full is showing : 

accelerator sent 15649733632 bytes out of 15582778368 bytes to server, optimization 0.0%

duration  - 16 mins

2nd Full is showing ; 

accelerator sent 80108032 bytes out of 15612392448 bytes to server, optimization 99.5%

duration - 13 mins

May i say Accelerator is effective.

Do i need to select " use chnage journal" option as well for better result.

Please let me know.

Which NBU version on your NBU master server?

Are you using Windows Admin Console or the Java Admin Console?

Hello Marianne

NBU version 7.6.0.1

Possibly time to log a Support call with Symantec /Veritas....
