Updating an OpenStorage storage server to reflect plug-in updates
If an OpenStorage partner updates their plug-in, update the NetBackup storage server to reflect the new functionality of the plug-in.
If the OpenStorage plug-in is updated on the storage server, use the following procedure to update the NetBackup storage server configuration to reflect this:

Note:
Disk pools that you create after you update the storage server inherit the new functionality.
