Symantec NetBackup - Updating an Openstorage Storage Server

To remove an OpenStorage storage server attribute
◆
Run the following command on the NetBackup master server or on a storage
server:
nbdevconfig -changests -storage_server hostname -stype server_type
-clearattribute attribute
For hostname, use the name of the disk appliance host. For server_type, the
OpenStorage vendor provides the string that identifies their storage type.
For attribute, use the name of the attribute you want to clear.
The following is the path to the nbdevconfig command:
■ UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
■ Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
Updating an OpenStorage storage server
You may have to update your storage server. For example, if your vendor provides
an updated plug-in, you must update the storage server so NetBackup can read
the appliance capabilities. The vendor may provide an updated plug-in to add or
change functionality.
If you update the storage server, you also must update existing disk pools so they
use the new functionality. Any disk pools that you create after you update the
storage server inherit the new functionality.
See “Updating an OpenStorage disk pool” on page 119.
