Disabling a Fibre Transport media server for a 16-gigabit target mode HBA support
You can disable an FT media server and remove the operating system FT startup scripts from the media server. The process also removes the SCST and QLogic or Emulex drivers. The media server then does not support NetBackup Fibre Transport.
See About disabling SAN Client and Fibre Transport.
To disable an FT media server and remove drivers
- On the FT media server, run the following script:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftsrv_config -scst -uninstall
- Verify that the following startup scripts were removed:
scripts: (/etc/rc.d/) /etc/rc.d/init.d/nbftserver /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S21nbftserver /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S21nbftserver /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S21nbftserver /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K03nbftserver /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K03nbftserver /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K03nbftserver drivers: (lib/modules/xxx/extra) qla2x00tgt.ko qla2xxx.ko scst.ko scst_user.ko firmwares: (/lib/firmware) ql2700-firmware-8.07.10.bin and ql2700_fw.bin ql2500-firmware-8.04.00.bin and q2500_fw.bin folders: /var/lib/scst/vdev_mode_pages /var/lib/scst/pr /usr/share/doc/ql2500-firmware-8.04.00 /etc/modules-load.d/scst.conf
- If the startup scripts were not removed, delete them manually. After you remove the files, rename
ql2500_fw_original.bintoql2500_fw.bin. - Run the following script:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftconfig -ds ft_server_host_name
Note:
If your /boot partition does not have enough disk space, manually delete images like
initramfs-3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64.img.10-23-17.17:22:37to get more disk space.
