Uninstalling media server deduplication

Table 4-1	How to replace the deduplication storage server host (continued)
Task		Procedure
Get a configuration file		If you did not save a storage server configuration file before
template		the failure, get a template configuration file.
		See “Getting the storage server configuration” on page 68.
Edit the configuration file		See “Editing a storage server configuration file” on page 68.
Configure the storage server		Configure the storage server by uploading the configuration
		from the file you edited. If you saved a configuration file
		before the storage server failure, use that file.
		See “Setting the storage server configuration” on page 70.
Configure the load balancing		If you have load balancing servers, add them to the
servers		configuration.
		See “Adding a load balancing server” on page 58.
Change configuration		If you edited the deduplication configuration file, make the
settings		same changes to that file.
		See “About the deduplication configuration file” on page 60.
		See “Editing the deduplication configuration file”
		on page 60.
Change the disk volume state		See “Changing the deduplication disk volume state”
and disk pool state to UP		on page 77.
		See “Changing the deduplication pool state” on page 77.
Change the disk volume state		See “Changing the deduplication disk volume state”
and disk pool state to UP		on page 77.
		See “Changing the deduplication pool state” on page 77.
Restart the backup jobs		If any backup jobs failed, restart those jobs. Alternatively,
		wait until the next scheduled backup, at which time the
		backup jobs should succeed.
