Enable or disable the Fibre Transport services
You can enable or disable the FT services on NetBackup FT media servers.
The following are the services that compose the FT server:
The nbftsrvr service manages the server side of the FT pipe.
The nbfdrv64 service controls the target mode drivers on the media server.
The nbftsrvr service starts the nbfdrv64 service. If you stop one service, the other service stops. If one service ends abnormally, the other service stops.
These services do not appear in the Activity monitor; they do appear in the operating system process displays.
Warning:
Do not use the UNIX kill -9 command and option to stop the nbfdrv64 process. It does not allow the process to stop gracefully, and the SAN clients cannot detect the FT devices when the nbfdrv64 process dies. You then may have to restart the client systems so they detect the FT devices again (after you restart nbfdrv64).
