Changing OpenStorage disk volume state
Use the NetBackup nbdevconfig command to change disk volume state. The state is UP or DOWN.
To change the state to DOWN, the disk pool in which the volume resides must not be busy. If backup jobs are assigned to the disk pool, the state change fails. Cancel the backup jobs or wait until the jobs complete.
NetBackup jobs still read from and write to a disk pool that has a downed volume, but the downed volume is unavailable.
To change OpenStorage disk volume state
- Determine the name of the disk volume.
- Change the disk volume state using the following command syntax:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -changestate -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name - dv vol_name -state state
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -changestate -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name - dv vol_name -state state
For the server_type, the storage vendor provides the string that identifies the server type.
For the -state , specify either UP or DOWN.
