NetApp storage server sample bpstsinfo output

The following examples show sample output from the bpstsinfo command for a NetApp storage server named plinko which contains four LSUs. The generic syntax for the command is as follows:

bpstsinfo -lsuinfo -storage_server storage_server_name -stype storage_type

The following is an example of the command, run on the NetBackup media server, for storage server plinko:

bpstsinfo -lsuinfo -storage_server plinko -stype Network_NTAP

Output for first LSU:

LSU Info:
   Server Name: Network_NTAP:plinko
   LSU Name: PrimarySnapshot
   Allocation : STS_LSU_AT_STATIC
   Storage: STS_LSU_ST_NONE
   Description:
   Configuration:
   Media: (STS_LSUF_REP_ENABLED | STS_LSUF_REP_SOURCE)
   Save As : (STS_SA_PRIMARY | STS_SA_SNAPSHOT)
   Replication Sources: 0 ( )
   Replication Targets: 3 ( Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SnapVault
   Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SnapMirror
   Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SecondSnapMirror )
   .
   .
   .

The bpstsinfo output provides the following information about the volume:

Storage server name (Server Name).

plinko

The name preceding the server name is the storage server type. For example, Network_NTAP.

Volume name (LSU Name).

PrimarySnapshot

Volume properties (Media, Save As).

The volume has the following properties:

  • Primary

  • Snapshot

  • Replication Source

Replication sources of the volume (Replication Sources).

The volume has no replication sources. It cannot receive replication from any other volume.

Replication targets of the volume (Replication Targets).

The volume has three replication targets.

It can replicate to the following volumes:

  • Netapp3140a2_SnapVault

  • Netapp3140a2_SnapMirror

  • Netapp3140a2_SecondSnapMirror

Output for second LSU:

LSU Info:
   Server Name: Network_NTAP:plinko
   LSU Name: Netapp3140a2_SnapVault
   Allocation : STS_LSU_AT_STATIC        
   Storage: STS_LSU_ST_NONE        
   Description:        
   Configuration:
   Media: (STS_LSUF_REP_ENABLED | STS_LSUF_REP_SOURCE | 
      STS_LSUF_REP_TARGET | STS_LSUF_MIRROR_FLEXIBLE)
   Save As : (STS_SA_SNAPSHOT | STS_SA_MIRROR)        
   Replication Sources: 3 ( Network_NTAP:plinko:PrimarySnapshot
   Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SnapMirror 
   Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SecondSnapMirror )
   Replication Targets: 2 ( Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SnapMirror 
      Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SecondSnapMirror )
   .
   .
   .

The bpstsinfo output provides the following information about the volume:

Storage server name (Server Name).

plinko

The name preceding the server name is the storage server type.

Volume name (LSU Name).

Netapp3140a2_SnapVault

Volume properties (Media, Save As).

The volume has the following properties:

  • Snapshot

  • ReplicationSource

  • ReplicationTarget

  • Mirror

  • MirrorFlexible

Since the LSU is MirrorFlexible, it can be configured as Mirror-capable or not Mirror-capable as specified by the user.

Replication sources of the volume (Replication Sources).

The volume has three replication sources.

It can receive replications from the following three volumes:

  • PrimarySnapshot

  • Netapp3140a2_SnapMirror

  • Netapp3140a2_SecondSnapMirror

Replication targets of the volume (Replication Targets).

The volume has two replication targets.

It can replicate to the following two volumes:

  • Netapp3140a2_SnapMirror

  • Netapp3140a2_SecondSnapMirror

Output for third LSU:

LSU Info:
   Server Name: Network_NTAP:plinko
   LSU Name: Netapp3140a2_SnapMirror
   Allocation : STS_LSU_AT_STATIC
   Storage: STS_LSU_ST_NONE        
   Description:        
   Configuration:        
   Media: (STS_LSUF_REP_ENABLED | STS_LSUF_REP_SOURCE | 
      STS_LSUF_REP_TARGET | STS_LSUF_MIRROR_FLEXIBLE)        
   Save As : (STS_SA_SNAPSHOT | STS_SA_MIRROR)        
   Replication Sources: 3 ( Network_NTAP:plinko:PrimarySnapshot
   Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SnapVault
   Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SecondSnapMirror )
   Replication Targets: 2 ( Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SnapVault 
   Network_NTAP:plinko:Netapp3140a2_SecondSnapMirror )
   .
   .
   .
