Hello
                The objective here was to create a Disk Staging Storage
Unit (DSSU) and not merely Disk Storage Unit (DSU).
 
I followed the procedure in teh Netbackup System Admin Guide for UNIX
Ver 6.0  (Pages 48-49). The procedure basically is as follows.
 
1. From the GUI click on new storage unit.
 
2. Selected " Disk" as the Storage unit type.
 
3.  Selected "Basic Disk" as the Disk Type.
 
4. Provided the absolute pathe name to the filesystem that I created for
the dsu. ( e.g /dsu1)
 
5. Now just below that I have teh following options.
 
   Max concurrent jobs allowed :  ( I can edit this)
 
   Reduce fragment size : (If I check the box I can edit this)
 
   High Water Mark : ( I can edit this)
 
   Low Water Mark (Staging only) : This option is greyed out I CANNOT
EDIT THIS OPTION or in  other words not available.
 
6. As per the manual I should also see one more checkbox " This storage
unit is a temp staging area" . I DO NOT SEE THIS BOX AT ALL IN THE ABOVE
gui.
 

Is there a separate WAY to create a DSSU as opposed to DSU??? Because I
am intrested in creating a DSSU and Not merely a DSU.
 
Also someone on this forum has mentioned that with Ver 6.0 and MP2 the
"low water mark" option is not available in the GUI when used on a UNIX
master/media and that it was available in Ver 6.0 MP1. 
 
Maybe it is a BUG in  Ver 6.0 MP2.
 
Thanks
Sandeep

        Can you describe a little more which "procedure given in the
docs" that you are following?
         
        DSU or DSSU ??

                Hi 
                        Have Netbackup Server Base Edition Ver 6.0 + MP2
installed and configured on my UNIX machines. Have One master as well as
Media configured to backup 25 clients.

                Wanted to create a DSU for temporary disk staging area
to be dumped to tapes at a later time. Follow the procedure given in the
docs to create the DSU but I just do not see the "Low Water Mark" stuff
enabled for me to anything nor do I see any checkbox to state that this
is a temp staging area.

                I thought that functionality of disk staging was
available under Netbackup Server Base Edition. 

                I am sure I am missing something here??? 


                Thanks 
                Sandeep
