Removing a volume from an OpenStorage disk pool
Use the NetBackup
nbdevconfig
command to remove a volume from a disk pool.
The following are the prerequisites:
■
NetBackup image fragments cannot exist on the disk volume.
■
NetBackup jobs cannot be active on the disk volume.
By default, NetBackup automatically decreases disk pool capacity if you remove
a disk volume.
To remove a volume from an OpenStorage disk pool
1 Change the disk volume state to DOWN.
See “Changing OpenStorage disk volume state” on page 116.
2 Change the disk pool state to DOWN.
See “Changing OpenStorage disk pool state” on page 115.
3 Remove the volume by using the
nbdevconfig
command. The following is
the command syntax:
nbdevconfig -deletedv -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name -dv
vol_name
The following is the path to the
nbdevconfig
command:
■
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
■
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
For the server_type, the storage vendor provides the string that identifies the
server type.
4 Change the disk pool state to UP.
See “Changing OpenStorage disk pool state” on page 115.
Updating an OpenStorage disk pool
You may have to update your existing disk pools. For example, if you update the
storage server, you must then update the existing disk pools. Usually, you update
the storage server when your vendor provides an updated plug-in that exposes
new functionality.
Any disk pools that you create after you update the storage server inherit the new
functionality.
See “Adding OpenStorage functionality to an existing environment” on page 102.
