and Device Management > Device Monitor.

Changing AdvancedDisk 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 the AdvancedDisk 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 AdvancedDisk -dp disk_pool_name
The nbdevquery command resides in the following directory:
■ UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
■ Windows: install_path\netbackup\bin\admincmd
To display the disk volumes in all disk pools, omit the -dp option.
