Updating an OpenStorage disk pool to reflect plug-in updates
If an OpenStorage partner updates their plug-in, update the existing disk pools to reflect the new functionality of the plug-in after you update the NetBackup storage server.
Any disk pools that are created after the storage server is updated inherit the new functionality.
See Adding OpenStorage functionality to an existing environment.
To update an OpenStorage disk pool to reflect plug-in updates
- Run the following command on the primary server:
On Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -changedp -dp disk_pool_name -stype server_type -setattribute attribute
On UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -changedp -dp disk_pool_name -stype server_type -setattribute attribute
See the following descriptions of the options that require arguments:
-changedp disk_pool_name
The name of the disk pool.
-stype server_type
The storage vendor provides the string that identifies the server type.
-setattribute attribute
The attribute is the name of the argument that represents the new functionality.
For example, OptimizedImage specifies that the environment supports the optimized synthetic backup. SpanImages specifies that backup images can span across volumes on the disk appliance.
