NetBackup™ for OpenStack Administrator's Guide

Identifying mounted snapshots

Sometimes a snapshot is mounted for a longer duration and hence it is important to be identified.

Using Horizon

There are 2 possibilities to identify mounted snapshots inside Horizon.

From the File Recovery Manager instance Metadata

  1. On the Horizon console, navigate to Compute > Instances.

  2. Identify the File Recovery Manager Instance.

  3. Click the name of the File Recovery Manager Instance to bring up its details.

  4. On the Overview tab look for Metadata.

  5. Identify the value for mounted_snapshot_url

The mounted_snapshot_url contains the snapshot ID of the snapshot that has been mounted last.

Note:

This value only gets updated, when a new snapshot is mounted.

From the snapshot list

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

  2. Identify the policy that contains the snapshot to mount.

  3. Click the policy name to enter the policy overview.

  4. Navigate to the Snapshots tab.

  5. Search for the snapshot that has the option Unmount Snapshot.

Using CLI
nbosjm snapshot-mounted-list [--policyid <policyid>]
  • --policyid <policyid> Restrict the list to snapshots in the provided policy
