Post decommission recommendations
The following actions are recommended after you run the nbdecommission command:
Follow all of the instructions the command provides.
The command may provide instructions for performing the actions that it cannot perform. For example, it may provide instructions to cancel the backup jobs that are active on the old server.
Move the physical storage (if needed) and then reconfigure and reinventory those devices.
Examine the
vm.conffiles on all of the NetBackup servers in your environment. Remove references to the old server and add references to the new server where necessary.Remove the old server from the server lists on the clients and add the new server where necessary.
The nbdecommission command outputs a list of clients that refer to old server.
Verify that the old server was removed correctly. Examine the various logical components (backup policies, storage units, and so on) to make sure that the old server references have been removed.
Back up the NetBackup catalog as soon as possible.
Uninstall NetBackup from the media server or remove that media server from the environment. After this configuration change, the media server daemons do not have permissions to communicate with the master server and should no longer be started.
