Veritas NetBackup™ OpenStorage Solutions Guide for Disk

Determining OpenStorage disk volume state

Use the NetBackup nbdevquery command to determine the state of volumes in OpenStorage disk pools.

To determine OpenStorage disk volume state

  • Display the state of the volumes in a disk pool by using the following command:

    UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevquery -listdv -U -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name

    Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevquery -listdv -U -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name

    The storage vendor provides the string that identifies the server_type .

    The command displays all of the volumes in the disk pool. The state is either UP or DOWN.

    To display the disk volumes in all OpenStorage disk pools on that vendor's storage, omit the -dp option.
