Veritas NetBackup™ AdvancedDisk Storage Solutions Guide

Resolving an incorrect storage type problem

First determine the storage server value to verify that the storage server was created with the incorrect nbdevconfig storage type value. Then proceed to resolving the problem if necessary.

To determine the storage server value

  • Invoke the following command on the master server or a media server that functions as a storage server:

    The following output shows an incorrect value for AdvancedDisk:

    Storage Server      : halo
    Storage Server Type : AdvancedDisk
    Storage Type        : Formatted Disk, Network Attached

To resolve an incorrect storage type problem

  1. Delete all disk pools that use the storage server.
  2. Delete the storage server.
  3. Reconfigure the storage server.
  4. Recreate the disk pools.
  5. If necessary, specify the new disk pools in the storage units.

    If you recreated the disk pools with the same names as the ones you deleted, this step is not necessary.
