Adding OpenStorage functionality to an existing environment
Your OpenStorage vendor may update their plug-in to expose more functionality on their disk appliance. For example, the vendor may update their plug-in to support optimized synthetic backups.
If the vendor provides an updated plug-in, you must complete the following procedures to integrate the new functionality into NetBackup.
Table: Overview of how to add OpenStorage functionality
Task | Procedure |
---|---|
Install the updated plug-in | |
Update the storage server |
You must update the storage server so NetBackup can use the new functionality. See Updating an OpenStorage storage server to reflect plug-in updates. |
Update existing disk pools |
You also must update existing disk pools so they recognize the new functionality. See Updating an OpenStorage disk pool to reflect plug-in updates. Any disk pools that you create after you update the vendor plug-in and storage server inherit the new functionality. |
