R u sure , of that you have DSSU in your environment, do not mix it with regular DSU (both are different)
If DSSU is not there, you can skip it

how about this? options 2
Deactivate disk staging storage units as follows:
Administration Console users the 'Staging schedule' is greyed out so we would need to use command line below (opyion 2)
■ On the master server, open the NetBackup
Administration Console.
■ From the tree on the left, expand NetBackup
Management > Storage Units.
■ In the right pane, double-click on a disk staging
storage unit.
■ When the Change Storage Unit dialog box
appears, select Staging Schedule.
■ When the Disk Staging Schedule dialog box
appears, click the Exclude Dates tab.
■ Select the date in the calendar that matches the
date of the system upgrade, then click OK. The
storage unit is then disabled on that date.
■ Click OK to close the Disk Staging Schedule
dialog box, then click OK to close the Change
Storage Unit dialog box.
■ Repeat these tasks for each disk staging storage
unit.
For command-line users
■ Enter the following command:
install_path\netbackup\bin\admincmd\
bpschedulerep schedulename -excl

do we not need to deactivate when going from 7.1 to 7.5?
I am a newbie - I don't understand your first instructions.

If the steps in the upgarde guide show that you need to deactivate, then you do.
My example shows how to deactivate a DSSU, which is the question you asked.
My example was 'basic disk', you may have for example 'advanced disk' in which case you would change the -stype option to AdvancedDisk.
The commands reference guide covers the use of this command.
This command :
nbdevconfig -changestate -stype BasicDisk -state DOWN -dp basic_disk
'Deactivated' my BasicDisk storage unitwith the disk pool name of 'basic_disk'
