Veritas NetBackup™ OpenStorage Solutions Guide for Disk

Setting OpenStorage disk pool attributes

You may have to set attributes on your disk pools. Usually, you set attributes to add functionality.

If you set attributes on the storage server, you also must set the same attributes on the existing disk pools. Any disk pools that you create after you set attributes on the storage server inherit the new functionality.

See Setting OpenStorage storage server attributes.

To set an OpenStorage disk pool attribute

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

    UNIX/Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -changedp -dp dp_name -stype server_type -setattribute attribute

    Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -changedp -dp dp_name -stype server_type -setattribute attribute

    The following are the command arguments that are required and their descriptions:

    dp_name

    The name of the disk pool.

    server_type

    The OpenStorage vendor provides the string that identifies their storage type.

    attribute

    The name of the attribute that you want to set.
