Changing the MSDP disk volume state
The disk volume state is UP or DOWN. NetBackup exposes all of the storage for MSDP as a single volume, PureDiskVolume.
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.
To change the MSDP disk volume state
- Change the disk volume state; the following is the command syntax:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -changestate -stype PureDisk -dp disk_pool_name - dv PureDiskVolume -state state
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -changestate -stype PureDisk -dp disk_pool_name - dv PureDiskVolume -state state
For the -state , specify either UP or DOWN.
