Deleting a Media Server Deduplication Pool

You can delete a disk pool if it does not contain valid NetBackup backup images or image fragments. If it does, you must first expire and delete those images or fragments. If expired image fragments remain on disk, you must remove those also.

If you delete a disk pool, NetBackup removes it from your configuration.

If a disk pool is the storage destination of a storage unit, you must first delete the storage unit.

To delete an MSDP disk pool

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI.
  2. On the left, click Storage > Disk storage.
  3. Select a disk pool.
  4. Click Delete > Yes.
