Inventorying a NetBackup disk pool
An inventory of a NetBackup disk pool reads the capacity of the disk volumes in the pool. An inventory operation lets you update NetBackup with the new capacity values if you do the following:
Increase or decrease the size of the disk volumes in a disk pool.
Add volumes to or remove volumes from a disk pool.
How you increase or decrease the underlying storage capacity depends on your storage implementation. You must complete that process before you inventory the disk pool.
To inventory a NetBackup disk pool
- in the NetBackup Administration Console, select Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pools.
- On the Actions menu, select Inventory Disk Pools.
- In the Inventory Disk Pool dialog box, select the disk pool to inventory and then click Start Inventory.
- To update the NetBackup catalog with the capacity values returned by the inventory, click Update Configuration.
- To inventory another disk pool, go to step 3.
- To exit, click Close.
