Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Controlling drives

See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I for information on drive states and how to control drives.

Before you perform these tasks, manually refresh your Web browser to obtain an updated view of all drives. When you refresh, you also ensure that the drive is not involved in any tasks by other users.

Note:

These tasks are not visible if you log on with an Analyst or a Reporter role.

To control drives

  1. In the OpsCenter console, select Monitor > Devices > Drives. The List View is displayed by default.
  2. Select a drive from the Drive Name column in the table.
  3. Click Up, Down, or Reset. Note that these options are located on top of the drive details table.

    The OpsCenter console may take some time to show the updated status once you perform these tasks.
