Hello guys!

we have 5 XL Linux Media agents, and all of them have 2 DDB Partitions in the size of 5.9 TB. both of the DDB partitions are configured in RAID 1 

 

when trying to configure storage pool from these media agents, we only can configure up to 6 DDB Partitons, and we need all 10 partitions to be available within the storage pool

 

 

is there any chance of it?

HI ​@Omer Kanias,

 

No, it is not possible to create a storage pool with 10 DDB (Deduplication Database) partitions.

The maximum number of partitions that can be configured in a deduplication database is controlled by the Maximum Allowed Substore Configuration parameter. By default, this value is set to 4, and the supported range is 1 to 6 partitions per DDB. Therefore, configuring 10 partitions is not supported.

Rohit Ravi

Hi ​@Omer Kanias ,

The default value for “Maximum allowed substore configuration” is 4, and it can be increased up to 6.

If there is a requirement to increase this limit further, please raise a Commvault Support case to validate feasibility.
