Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Determining the MSDP storage server state

Use the NetBackup nbdevquery command to determine the state of a deduplication storage server. The state is either UP or DOWN.

To determine MSDP storage server state

  • Run the following command on the NetBackup master server or a deduplication storage server:

    UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevquery -liststs -storage_server server_name -stype PureDisk - U

    Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevquery -liststs -storage_server server_name -stype PureDisk - U

    The following is example output:

    Storage Server      : bit.example.com
    Storage Server Type : PureDisk
    Storage Type        : Formatted Disk, Network Attached
    State               : UP

    This example output is shortened; more flags may appear in actual output.
