Veritas NetBackup™ AdvancedDisk Storage Solutions Guide

Removing a volume from an AdvancedDisk disk pool

Use the nbdevconfig command to remove a volume from a disk pool. The following are the prerequisites:

  • NetBackup image fragments cannot exist on the disk volume.

  • NetBackup jobs cannot be active on the disk volume.

By default, NetBackup automatically decreases disk pool capacity if you remove a disk volume.

The following is the path to the nbdevconfig command:

  • UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd

  • Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd

To remove a volume from an AdvancedDisk disk pool

  1. Change the disk volume state to DOWN.

    See Changing AdvancedDisk disk volume state.

  2. Change the disk pool state to DOWN.

    See Changing AdvancedDisk disk pool state.

  3. Remove the volume by using the nbdevconfig command. The following is the command syntax:

    nbdevconfig -deletedv -stype AdvancedDisk -dp disk_pool_name - dv vol_name

  4. Change the disk pool state to UP.

    See Changing AdvancedDisk disk pool state.
