Changing OpenStorage disk pool state
Disk pool state is UP or DOWN.
To change the state to DOWN, the disk pool 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.
Note:
If you want to force the storage server to use other load balanced media server, deselect the storage server from the load balance media server list. Run the bpstsinfo -resyncREM -servername <master-server-name command to force a change.
