NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Removing the disk volume of the MSDP server from the MVG volume configuration

When the evacuation details page indicates that all images have been migrated and cleaned up from the MSDP server, and the mode of the disk volume in the MVG volume configuration page shows Evacuate finished, you can safely remove the disk volume from the MVG volume configuration.

To clean up the images that are migrated from the MSDP server

  1. In the left navigation pane, go to Storage > Disk storage.
  2. Click the Disk pools tab.
  3. Locate the MVG disk pool that contains the MVG disk volume with the MSDP server and disk volume to be evacuated.
  4. Click the MVG disk pool to open the MVG disk pool details.
  5. In the Disk volumes table, find the disk volume, and click Delete from the Actions menu on the right.

If there are any unmigrated or uncleaned images, deleting the disk volume from the MVG volume configuration will result in an error. Wait for all images to finish migrating, then clean up migrated images from the MSDP server. After that, retry or cancel the evacuation of any failed images to ensure that no failed images appear in the evacuation details page.
