Deletes the following tape storage units:

• Those in which the Storage device attribute specifies a robot for which the old server is the robot control host.

• Those in which the Media server attribute specifies the old server.

• Those in which the Media server attribute specifies Any Available and the old server is the only server that can access the storage unit.

Specifies if you want to expire the following tape media or move them to another media server:

• Those assigned to the old server.

• Those owned by a media sharing group in which the old server is the only member of the group.

• Those that have no specific Media owner and the last write host is same as the old server.

• Expire the images and delete the storage unit.

• Move the images to the new server. The wizard also updates the Media server field in the storage unit.

  The BasicDisk storage must be shared, and the same disk path must be available on the new server.

Specifies that if more than one media server can access the disk pool that is the destination of the storage unit, it does the following:

• Removes the old server from the Media Servers list of the storage unit.

• Deletes the old server as a storage server.

If the old server is the only server that can access the disk pool, the wizard lets you choose to do one of the following:

• Move the storage and images to the new server and delete the old server as a storage server.

  The disk volumes must be available on the new server at the same path as the old server.

• Expire the images (if any), delete any storage units that reference the disk pool, delete the disk pool, and delete the storage server. (A reference is when the disk pool appears in the Select disk pool setting of a storage unit.)

Specifies that if more than one media server can access the disk pool that is the destination of the storage unit, it does the following:

• Removes the old server from the Media Servers list of the storage unit.

• Deletes the media server as an OpenStorage storage server.

If the old server is the only server that can access the disk pool, the wizard lets you choose to do one of the following:

• Transfer the credentials to the new server and update the Media server field in the storage unit if required.

• Expire the images (if any), delete any storage units that reference the disk pool, and delete the disk pool. (A reference is when the disk pool appears in the Select disk pool setting of a storage unit.)

Deactivates any backup policy in which the storage destination (directly or indirectly) is a storage unit that the command deletes. Specifically, deactivates any backup policy that meets any of the following conditions:

• The destination is a storage unit that the nbdecommission command deleted.

• The destination is a storage unit group that contains only one storage unit and the nbdecommission command deleted that storage unit.

• The destination is a storage lifecycle policy and the nbdecommission command deleted the storage unit that is a Backup operation of the storage lifecycle policy.

Specifies that for each storage lifecycle policy in which one or more operations uses a storage unit that the command deleted, it does the following:

• If images under the SLP control are in-process or yet to be processed, displays the commands to cancel the SLP jobs and then exits. After you cancel the jobs (or wait until the jobs complete), rerun the nbdecommission command to continue with the decommissioning.

• If all of the images under SLP control are processed, deactivates the storage lifecycle policy.

• If a deleted storage unit was used by a Backup or Snapshot operation, deactivates all backup policies with the storage lifecycle policy as the destination.

On UNIX NetBackup servers, removes the old server from the following bp.conf file entries:

• SERVER

• MEDIA_SERVER

• CLIENT_NAME

• BROWSER

On Windows NetBackup servers, removes the old server from the following registry keys:

• SERVER

• MEDIA_SERVER

• CLIENT_NAME

• BROWSER
