Displaying detailed AdvancedDisk storage usage information

The NetBackup nbdevquery command lets you display detailed information about the storage use of disk pools and disk volumes.

To determine the disk volume storage usage

  1. Determine the names of all AdvancedDisk disk pools in your NetBackup domain:

    nbdevquery -listdp -stype AdvancedDisk

    V7.5 DiskPool-AdvDisk 1 201.00 201.00 3 98 80 -1 adv_server.example.com

    The version is the I/O format not the NetBackup release level. The version may differ on your system.

  2. Determine disk volume names in the AdvancedDisk disk pool:

    nbdevquery -listdv -stype AdvancedDisk -dp disk_pool_name

    Replace disk_pool_name with the name of the disk pool for which you want to determine the volume names.

    The following is example output:

    V7.5 DiskPool-AdvDisk AdvancedDisk /advdisk_disc1 @aaaak 0.00 0.00 100 1 0 1 0 0 14
    V7.5 DiskPool-AdvDisk AdvancedDisk /advdisk_disc2 @aaaal 200.00 79.75 60 1 0 1 0 0 14
    V7.5 DiskPool-AdvDisk AdvancedDisk /advdisk_disc3 @aaaam 1.00 1.00 0 1 0 1 0 0 14
  3. Display the usage information for a specific AdvancedDisk disk volume:

    nbdevquery -listdv -stype AdvancedDisk -dp disk_pool_name -dv disk_volume_name -D

    Replace disk_pool_name with the name of the disk pool for which you want to determine the volume names. Replace disk_volume_name with the name of the disk volume for which you want to display usage information.

    The output from the command includes the following fields:

      total_capacity      : 214748364800
      total_phys_capacity : 214748364800
      free_space          : 85625798656
      free_phys_space     : 85625798656
      potential_free_space: 0
      committed_space     : 0
      precommitted_space  : 0
