Changing AdvancedDisk disk volume state
Use the NetBackup nbdevconfig command to change disk volume state. The state is UP or DOWN.
To change the state to DOWN, the disk pool in which the volume resides must not be busy. If backup jobs are assigned to the disk pool, the state change fails. Cancel the backup jobs or wait until the jobs complete.
NetBackup jobs still read from and write to a disk pool that has a downed volume, but the downed volume is unavailable.
To change the AdvancedDisk disk volume state
- Determine the name of the disk volume.
- Change the disk volume state. The following is the command syntax:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -changestate -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name - dv vol_name -state state
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -changestate -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name - dv vol_name -state state
The following items describe the arguments for the options:
-stype server_type
For the server type, use one of the following types:
AdvancedDisk for nonencrypted storage.
AdvancedDisk_crypt for encrypted storage.
-dp disk_pool_name
The name of the disk pool.
-dv vol_name
The name of the disk volume.
-state state
Specify UP or DOWN. RESET sets the internal state to UP, sets committed_space to zero, and sets the precommitted space to zero.
