Media server deduplication pool properties (continued)

Property

Description

Disk volume

For a media server deduplication pool, all disk storage is exposed

 

as a single volume.

 

PureDiskVolume is a virtual name for the storage that is

 

contained within the directories you specified for the storage path

 

and the database path.

Available space

The amount of space available in the disk pool.

Raw size

The total raw size of the storage in the disk pool.

Comment

A comment that is associated with the disk pool.

High water mark

The high water mark is a threshold that indicates the

 

PureDiskVolume is full. When the PureDiskVolume is at the

 

high water mark, NetBackup fails any backup jobs that are

 

assigned to the disk pool storage unit.

 

NetBackup also fails backup jobs if the PureDiskVolume does not

 

contain enough storage for its estimated space requirement.

 

NetBackup again assigns jobs to the storage unit when the capacity

 

of the PureDiskVolume drops below the high water mark. Capacity

 

is regained as backup images expire.

 

NetBackupdoes not assign backup jobs to the disk pool if used

 

space in the PureDiskVolume is greater than the high water mark.

 

The default is 98%.

Low water mark

The low water mark has no affect on the PureDiskVolume.

 

The low water mark setting cannot be greater than or equal to the

 

high water mark setting.

 

The default is 80%
