Clean NetBackup for OpenStack Datamover Service

The following steps need to be run on all nodes, which have the NetBackup for OpenStack Datamover service running. Those nodes can be identified by checking the roles_data.yaml for the role that contains the entry OS::TripleO::Services::nbosdm.

Once the role that runs the NetBackup for OpenStack Datamover API service has been identified, the following commands will clean the nodes from the service.

Warning:

Run all commands as root or user with sudo permissions.

Stop nbosdm container.

# For RHOSP16.1 onwards
systemctl disable tripleo_nbosdm.service
systemctl stop tripleo_nbosdm.service
podman stop nbosdm

Remove nbosdm container.

umount /var/lib/nova/NetBackupOpenStack-mounts/<UUID_DIR>

umount /var/lib/nova/NetBackupOpenStack-mounts

# Verify that it's unmounted        
mount | grep NetBackup
