Configuring a CIFS disk volume for AdvancedDisk encryption
For the disk type, you must use the NetBackup nbdevconfig command to specify each CIFS disk volume for the disk pool. You must also use the UNC notation to specify the volumes (NetBackup cannot discover Windows Common Internet File System (CIFS) disk volumes).
See About AdvancedDisk file system requirements.
Veritas recommends that disk volume and disk pool names be unique across your enterprise.
You must first configure storage servers.
To configure an AdvancedDisk disk volume by using the command line
- On the NetBackup master server, configure the volume by using the following command:
nbdevconfig -createdv -storage_server hostname -stype server_type -dv disk_volume_name -dp disk_pool_name
The following is the path to the nbdevconfig command:
UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmdWindows:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
The following describe the options:
-storage_server hostname
The name of the NetBackup media server that has a file system mount on the storage.
-stype server_type
For AdvancedDisk with encryption, use AdvancedDisk_crypt, otherwise use AdvancedDisk.
-dv disk_volume_name
The name of the disk volume; use UNC notation.
-dp disk_pool_name
The name of the disk pool for the volume.
- Repeat step 1 for each disk volume that you want to add.
