This issue has been solved. See solution.

HI,

I have 4 media servers and everyone has one advanced disk pool.

I can´t remember what´s the difference between advanced disk and basic disk.

Plz tell me in a few words the advantage of advanced disk pools.

 

TIA

Dirk

In short,

AdvancedDisk

  • You can extend its capacity by adding disk volumes into disk pool.
  • It works with Storage Lifecycle Policy(SLP). SLP is more flexible than BasicDisk staging.

BasicDisk

  • You can not extend its capacity by NetBackup operation.
    You need to extend filesystems to get more.
  • It can not work with SLP. BasicDisk staging is only option.

Thanks for your answers.

 

Now I know - we work only with SLP - so we need advanced disks ans no basic disks.

 

Kind regards

Dirk

Bear in mind that you will need Enterprise Disk license to config Advanced Disk.
