About forcing a release of an unavailable HBA's SPC-2 reservation
To force a release of an unavailable HBA's SPC-2 reservation, use the following NetBackup vmoprcmd command and option:
vmoprcmd -crawlreleasebyname drive_name
This option requests that all hosts that are registered to use the drive issue SPC-2 SCSI release commands to the drive.
Issue the vmoprcmd command on the primary server. Alternatively issue the command on a media server and use the -h option of the command to specify the primary server. The NetBackup EMM service allocates devices (that is, the DA host or device allocation host).
Note:
Use this command after a PEND status appears in the Device monitor. However, do not issue this command during backups.
More information about using the vmoprcmd command is available.
See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
