Remove the PDDO plug-in

NetBackup deduplication components cannot reside on the

 

 

same host as a PureDisk Deduplication Option (PDDO) agent.

 

 

Therefore, remove the PDDO plug-in from the host.

Migrating from PureDisk to the NetBackup Media Server Deduplication option

NetBackup cannot use the storage hardware while PureDisk uses it for storage. The structure of the PureDisk storage is different than the structure of the storage for integrated NetBackup deduplication. The disk systems cannot be used simultaneously by both NetBackup and PureDisk. The PureDisk images on the storage cannot be transferred to the deduplication storage server storage.

Therefore, to migrate from NetBackup PureDisk to the NetBackup Media Server Deduplication Option, Symantec recommends that you age the PureDisk storage pool backups until they expire.
