NetBackup™ for OpenStack Administrator's Guide

Unlock a policy

Policies that are actively taking backups or restores are locked for further tasks. You can unlock a policy by force if necessary.

We recommend that you use this feature only as last resort in case of backups or restores being stuck without failing or a restore is required while a backup is running.

Using Horizon
  1. On the Horizon console, navigate to NBOS Backups > Policies.

  2. Identify the policy to unlock.

  3. Click Create Snapshot drop-down.

  4. Click Unlock Policy.

  5. Click Unlock Policy again to confirm.

Using CLI
nbosjm policy-unlock <policy-id>
  • <policy-id> ID of the policy to unlock.
