Removing an AdvancedDisk storage server from disk pool access
Use the nbdevconfig command to remove a storage server so that it no longer can access a disk pool. If NetBackup jobs exist that use that storage server, you cannot remove the storage server.
Warning:
If you remove the only storage server, data may be lost. NetBackup cannot access the disk pool and the backup images on the disk pool.
The following is the path to the nbdevconfig command:
UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmdWindows:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
To remove an AdvancedDisk storage server from disk pool access
- For every storage unit that specifies the storage server (media server) in Use one of the following media servers, clear the check box that specifies the media server.
This step is not required if the storage unit is configured to use any available media server.
- If only one storage server exists, change the state of all disk pools on the array to DOWN. To do so, use the following command:
nbdevconfig -changestate -stype AdvancedDisk -dp disk_pool_name -state DOWN
- Remove the storage server. The following is the command syntax:
nbdevconfig -changedp -stype AdvancedDisk -dp disk_pool_name -del_storage_servers storage_server
