Using bpstsinfo to view the replication topology of a device
For a replication operation to succeed, a volume which is a source of replication must have a replication partner which is the target of replication. The replication relationship between volumes is provided to NetBackup by the storage device using the OpenStorage APIs.
To understand the replication topology of the storage server, run the bpstsinfo command, specifying the storage server name and the OpenStorage server type. For example:
bpstsinfo -lsuinfo -storage_server storage_server_name -stype storage_type
The command is located in the following directory:
Windows:
Install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\
UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/
The output from the bpstsinfo command displays the following information:
The name of the storage server (Server Name). The storage server name here must be the same as the storage server name used in the Storage Server Configuration Wizard.
The name of the volume (LSU Name).
The properties of the volume (Media, Save As).
The replication sources of the volume (Replication Sources).
The replication targets of the volume (Replication Targets).
Save the output to a file so that you can compare the current topology with the previous topology to determine what has changed.
