Netbackup 96 TB MSDP pool support

Hi,

With 64TB MSDP support, we use to provision one smaller volume from storage to MSDP server and expand as the environment grows. But 96TB MSDP pool requires 4 separate volumes as mentioned in the below table and URL. Does that mean we need to allocate 96TB storage all at once?  Is there anyway to start with smaller size and expand when more capacity is required the way we do with 64TB pool?

I don't you can upgrade the pool to 96. It would be for new pool installation only since the structure is inheritently different.

This is not for upgrade. I am creating new MSDP pool with new media server. Should I assign all 96TB at once?
