Hi all,

I have a simple deployment with 2 Media Agent in GRID using SAN disk; deduplication is enabled on Media Agent.

I wanted to segregate back-end storage for different platform (VMware, AIX, etc...) or customer. Is there any option to achieve that? Should I create many storage pool for each platform/client or is there any way to associate multiple libraries to the primary storage pool?

 

Thank a lot for support.

Hi ​@DDD ,

You can create multiple storage pools, each dedicated to a specific platform or customer. 


Associating multiple libraries to a single primary storage pool is not supported for load balancing or segregation purposes.

To use load balancing, we recommend that you create multiple mount paths in a library instead of creating multiple libraries in a data path.https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/commcell-console/configuring_disk_network_storage_pool.html#what-to-do-next
