to create the storage pool, it does not contain the partner key. Consequently,
that storage pool cannot accept data from NetBackup.

■

Unique storage pool names. Storage pool names must be unique among all
users of the Nirvanix Storage Delivery Network.

The following OpenStorage capabilities are not supported for Nirvanix storage:

■

Optimized duplication

■

Optimized synthetics

■

Direct to tape (by NDMP)

■

Disk volume spanning of backup images

Information about supported systems is available.
