State changes in AdvancedDisk

If the mount status of a configured disk volume changes, the state of the disk volume within NetBackup will follow after a delay of about a minute. You can check the current state of a disk volume with the command nbdevquery - liststs - stype AdvancedDisk - U, as this example from a Windows server shows:

Storage Server      : wstmas02
Storage Server Type : AdvancedDisk
Storage Type        : Formatted Disk, Direct Attached
State               : UP
Flag                : OpenStorage
Flag                : AdminUp
Flag                : InternalUp
Flag                : SpanImages
Flag                : LifeCycle
Flag                : CapacityMgmt
Flag                : FragmentImages
Flag                : Cpr
Flag                : RandomWrites
Flag                : FT-Transfer

The mount status is indicated by the InternalUp flag. If InternalUp is not shown, the disk volume is marked as DOWN in the output of the command nbdevquery - listdp - U as shown here:

Disk Pool Name      : DPtest
Disk Pool Id        : DPtest
Disk Type           : AdvancedDisk
Status              : DOWN
Flag                : Patchwork

Flag                : SingleStorageServer
Flag                : AdminDown
Flag                : InternalUp
Flag                : SpanImages
Flag                : LifeCycle
Flag                : CapacityMgmt
Flag                : FragmentImages

The administrator can reset the state of the disk volume by issuing the command:

nbdevconfig - changestate - stype AdvancedDisk - dp <disk pool> -dv <disk volume> -state RESET
