Removing OpenStorage storage server attributes

You may have to remove attributes from your storage server. Usually, you remove attributes to change or remove functionality.

See Setting OpenStorage storage server attributes.

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

See Removing OpenStorage disk pool attributes.

To remove 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 -clearattribute attribute

    Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -changests -storage_server hostname -stype server_type -clearattribute 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 clear.
