Symantec NetBackup - Changing Openstorage Disk Volume State; Deleting an Openstorage Disk Pool

Changing OpenStorage disk volume state
Use the NetBackup nbdevconfig command to change disk volume state. The state
is UP or DOWN.
To change the state to DOWN, the disk pool in which the volume resides must not
be busy. If backup jobs are assigned to the disk pool, the state change fails. Cancel
the backup jobs or wait until the jobs complete.
NetBackup jobs still read from and write to a disk pool that has a downed volume,
but the downed volume is unavailable.
To change OpenStorage disk volume state
1
Determine the name of the disk volume. The following command lists all
volumes in the specified disk pool:
nbdevquery -listdv -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name
The following is the path to the nbdevquery command:
■ UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
■ Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
For the server_type, the storage vendor provides the string that identifies the
server type.
2
Change the disk volume state using the following command syntax:
nbdevconfig -changestate -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name
–dv vol_name -state state
The following is the path to the nbdevconfig command:
■ UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
■ Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
For the server_type, the storage vendor provides the string that identifies the
server type.
The state is either UP or DOWN.
Deleting an OpenStorage disk pool
If you delete a disk pool, NetBackup removes it from your configuration.
If a disk pool is the storage destination of a storage unit, you must first delete the
storage unit.
