Denying a request

Some situations may require that you deny requests for service. For example, when a drive is not available, you cannot find the volume, or the user is not authorized to use the volume. When you deny a request, NetBackup sends an appropriate status message to the user.

Use the following procedure to deny a request.

To deny a request

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Device Monitor.
  2. If you licensed a disk pool feature, select the Drives tab.
  3. In the Pending Requests pane, select the request.
  4. On the Actions menu, select Deny Request.
