Considerations when configuring an OnCommand Unified Manager as a NetBackup storage server
The following items are OCUM-specific and are helpful when configuring an OCUM as a storage server.
Select to create a storage server (for either NAS volumes or SAN devices).
By default, the storage server has 5 minutes to communicate with NetBackup before it times out. When creating a NetApp storage server (type NETWORK_NTAP), more time may be required. To increase the timeout, edit the nbsl.xml file, the configuration file that interacts with the NetBackup Service Layer process (NBSL).
Locate the nbsl.xml file in the following directory:
On Windows: C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\var\global\nbsl.xml
On UNIX: /opt/openv/var/global/nbsl.xml
Find the entry for TPCommandTimeout and change the default from 300 to a greater value. For example:
TPCommandTimeout="600"
After making the change, restart the NBSL process so that the change takes effect.
Use the bpstsinfo command to verify whether a short name or a fully qualified name is used for the storage server. The command is located in the following directory:
Windows: Install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/
Enter the bpstsinfo command as follows:
bpstsinfo -serverinfo -storage_server known_storage_server_name -stype storage_server_type
For example, to ensure that the name of the OnCommand Unified Manager is OCUMServer, enter the following command:
bpstsinfo -serverinfo -storage_server OCUMServer -stype Network_NTAP
Use the storage server name that is indicated in the output.
In the Disk Pool Configuration Wizard
The total sizes on the primary volume always display as 0 bytes, as indicated by a dash.
When the NBUPlugin is installed on the OnCommand Unified Manager, a NetBackup group is automatically created on the OnCommand Unified Manager. On the OnCommand Unified Manager, use the NetApp Management Console to add resource pools to the NetBackup group so that the resource pools are exposed to NetBackup. If the NetBackup group does not contain resource pools, no LSUs display in the disk pool configuration wizard.
The available size that is listed is the total amount of space available in the pool. The raw size is the total raw, unformatted size of the storage in the disk pool. For OnCommand Unified Managers, the sizes on the primary volume always display as 0 bytes, as indicated by a dash.
