About Cloud Catalyst migration cacontrol options
NetBackup has multiple cacontrol options that help with cleanup of images and help to make the Cloud Catalyst migration more successful.
Note:
Multiple cacontrol command options are not intended to be run directly because running the nbdecommision command activates the cacontrol option. Carefully review all options in Table: cacontrol options.
Table: cacontrol options lists the cacontrol command options that you can use during the Cloud Catalyst migration and how to use those options.
Table: cacontrol options
cacontrol option | Description |
|---|---|
buildcloudcatalystobjects | Location: /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/cacontrol --catalog buildcloudcatalystobjects <lsuname> <lsuname> = Name of the MSDP Cloud LSU that was migrated from CloudCatalyst. This option creates a lookup table for image sharing after successful migration to the MSDP cloud tier. After migration, this command should be run on the image sharing server and then the services on that server should be restarted. |
cleanupcloudcatalystobjects | Location: /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/cacontrol --catalog cleanupcloudcatalystobjects <lsuname> <lsuname> = Name of the MSDP Cloud LSU that was migrated from CloudCatalyst. This option removes unused Cloud Catalyst objects from the cloud after successful migration to the MSDP cloud tier server. This command can be run as an optional step which may be run a few days or weeks after the migration. This option cleans up any Cloud Catalyst objects which the new MSDP cloud tier server does not need. Do not run unless confident that the migration was successful since you cannot revert to Cloud Catalyst to access the data once this command is run. |
migratecloudcatalyst | Location: /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/cacontrol --catalog migratecloudcatalyst <lsuname> <cloudcatalystmaster> <cloudcatalystmedia> [skipimagesharing] [start_with] <lsuname> = Name of the MSDP Cloud LSU to be migrated from CloudCatalyst. <cloudcatalystmaster> = Master server name. <cloudcatalystmedia> = Media server hostname of the CloudCatalyst server to be migrated. [skipimagesharing] = Flag which indicates to skip migrating the image sharing data from CloudCatalyst to the new MSDP Cloud LSU. [start_with] = Indicates the point at which to resume a failed migration after the cause of the failure has been addressed. The nbdecommission -migrate_cloudcatalyst command calls this cacontrol command as needed. Do not run this cacontrol directly. Instead, use the nbdecommission -migrate_cloudcatalyst command to perform the migration. |
migratecloudcatalyststatus | Location: /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/cacontrol --catalog migratecloudcatalyststatus <lsuname> <lsuname> = Name of the MSDP Cloud LSU being migrated from CloudCatalyst. The nbdecommission -migrate_cloudcatalyst command calls this cacontrol command as needed. Do not run this cacontrol directly. Instead, use the nbdecommission -migrate_cloudcatalyst command to perform migration. |
