Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Viewing MSDP storage server attributes

Use the NetBackup nbdevquery command to view the deduplication storage server attributes.

The server_name you use in the nbdevquery command must match the configured name of the storage server. If the storage server name is its fully-qualified domain name, you must use that for server_name.

To view MSDP storage server attributes

  • The following is the command syntax to set a storage server attribute. Run the command on the NetBackup master server or on the 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
    Storage Server Type : PureDisk
    Storage Type        : Formatted Disk, Network Attached
    State               : UP
    Flag                : OpenStorage
    Flag                : CopyExtents
    Flag                : AdminUp
    Flag                : InternalUp
    Flag                : LifeCycle
    Flag                : CapacityMgmt
    Flag                : OptimizedImage
    Flag                : FT-Transfer

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