About saving the MSDP storage server configuration
You can save your storage server settings in a text file. A saved storage server configuration file contains the configuration settings for your storage server. It also contains status information about the storage. A saved configuration file may help you with recovery of your storage server. Therefore, Cohesity recommends that you get the storage server configuration and save it in a file. The file does not exist unless you create it.
The following is an example of a populated configuration file:
V7.0 "storagepath" "D:\DedupeStorage" string V7.0 "spalogpath" "D:\DedupeStorage\log" string V7.0 "dbpath" "D:\DedupeStorage" string V7.0 "required_interface" "HOSTNAME" string V7.0 "spalogretention" "7" int V7.0 "verboselevel" "3" int V7.0 "replication_target(s)" "none" string V7.0 "Storage Pool Size" "698.4GB" string V7.0 "Storage Pool Used Space" "132.4GB" string V7.0 "Storage Pool Available Space" "566.0GB" string V7.0 "Catalog Logical Size" "287.3GB" string V7.0 "Catalog files Count" "1288" string V7.0 "Space Used Within Containers" "142.3GB" string
V7.0 represents the version of the I/O format not the NetBackup release level. The version may differ on your system.
If you get the storage server configuration when the server is not configured or is down and unavailable, NetBackup creates a template file. The following is an example of a template configuration file:
V7.0 "storagepath" " " string V7.0 "spalogin" " " string V7.0 "spapasswd" " " string V7.0 "spalogretention" "7" int V7.0 "verboselevel" "3" int V7.0 "dbpath" " " string V7.0 "required_interface" " " string
To use a storage server configuration file for recovery, you must edit the file so that it includes only the information that is required for recovery.
