Setting OpenStorage storage server attributes

You may have to set attributes on your storage server. 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 disk pool attributes.

To set an OpenStorage storage server attribute

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

    UNIX/Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -changests -storage_server hostname -stype server_type -setattribute attribute

    Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -changests -storage_server hostname -stype server_type -setattribute attribute

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

    hostname

    The name of the disk appliance host.

    server_type

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

    attribute

    The name of the attribute that you want to set.
