+13Hello,
I have a doubt in setting up DDB Creation in awindows cluster environment.2 physical servers with installed media agent and a virtual storage (starwind)1) can the DDB be on the storage shared by the nodes of the cluster?2) Can I use only 1 DDB for all nodes (MA) or should I have a DDB for each MA?

Hello Fernando,
Please have a look at Deduplication Building Block Guide (commvault.com)
+1Hi Fernando,
Yes you can use only 1 DDB by placing it on the storage Shared.
Thanks,

Can you send the link where do you find this information?
Thanks
Hello Fernando,
I would prefer to use 2 DDB partitions, one on each MA with SSD (not shared!) for each DDB
+13I need the best practices for this case.
what is the best solution, indicated by commvault?
Best practice is to place the DDB in dedicated local disk.
When you use two cluster nodes: node1 and node2 with MA component on them, then you need to assign the DDB or ddb partition location on the local disk. However if you are planning to use a clustered Media Agent, then the DDB should be located in disk cluster resource for the clustered media Agent not for the physical nodes that are also Media Agents. However a disk cluster resource is not dedicated disk as it is located in storage array.
