About this guide
This guide describes how to install, configure, and use shared storage with
NetBackup.
NetBackup provides several options that let you share storage among multiple
NetBackup media servers, as follows:
■ The AdvancedDisk option allows multiple NetBackup media servers to share
the disk storage that is attached to a NetBackup media server. (Attached means
a file system mount on the storage.)
See “About the AdvancedDisk option” on page 17.
■ The OpenStorage option allows multiple NetBackup media servers to share
intelligent disk appliance storage or cloud-based storage.
See “About the NetBackup OpenStorage option” on page 57.
■ The SharedDisk option allows multiple NetBackup media servers to share disk
array storage.
See “About SharedDisk support in NetBackup 7.0 and later” on page 133.
■ The Shared Storage Option allows multiple NetBackup media servers to share
individual tape drives (standalone drives or drives in a robotic library).
See “About the Shared Storage Option” on page 137.
