NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Configuring a target for MSDP replication to a remote domain

Use the following procedure to configure a target for replication from a Media Server Deduplication Pool in an originating domain to a deduplication pool in another target domain. NetBackup supports several deduplication targets.

See About MSDP replication to a different domain.

Configuring the target storage server is only one step in the process of configuring MSDP replication.

See Configuring MSDP replication to a different NetBackup domain.

Note:

About clustered primary servers: If you add a trusted primary server for replication operations, you must enable inter-node authentication on all of the nodes in the cluster. Enable the authentication before you begin the following procedure. This requirement applies regardless of whether the clustered primary server is the source of the replication operation or the target.

See About trusted primary servers for Auto Image Replication.

See Enable inter-node authentication for a NetBackup clustered primary server.

Caution:

Choose the target storage server or servers carefully. A target storage server must not also be a storage server for the source domain. Also, a disk volume must not be shared among multiple NetBackup domains.

To configure a Media Server Deduplication Pool as a replication target

  1. Open the web UI.
  2. On the left, click Storage > Disk storage.
  3. Click the Disk pools tab.
  4. Click on the disk pool name.
  5. On the Details tab locate Replication targets. Then click Add.
  6. Select the trusted primary server.
  7. Select the required target storage server.
  8. Enter the Username and Password.
  9. Click Add.

    Configuring a replication target configures the replication properties of the disk volumes in both domains. However, you must refresh the deduplication pools so that NetBackup reads the new volume properties.

    See Changing a Media Server Deduplication Pool properties.
