DESCRIPTION
The nbstlutil command provides a way for users to intervene in storage lifecycle policy (SLP) operations. The following are the utility functions:
- active
Activates processing of the secondary operations that have been suspended within a storage lifecycle policy. Operations that qualify as secondary are duplication, replication, and import from snapshot. Existing images and newly created images are activated. The -lifecycle, -version, -destination, -before, -after, and -backupid options identify the secondary operations.
If neither the -lifecycle option nor the -destination is specified, nbstlutil resumes the processing of all secondary operations for all storage lifecycle policies.
If only a storage lifecycle policy (-lifecycle) is specified, nbstlutil resumes the processing of all secondary operations for that storage lifecycle policy only.
If only a destination is specified, nbstlutil resumes the processing of all secondary operations that use the specified destination for all storage lifecycle policies.
You suspend secondary operations when you run the nbstlutil inactive command.
- cancel
Permanently cancels storage lifecycle policy processing according to how the -lifecycle, -before, -after, and -destination options are used:
If the -lifecycle option and the -destination option are both used, nbstlutil permanently cancels processing for the existing images that the options identify.
If neither of the options is used, nbstlutil permanently cancels all pending copies for all existing images that the storage lifecycle policies manage.
If only a storage lifecycle policy (-lifecycle) is specified, nbstlutil permanently cancels all pending copies of the existing images that it manages.
If only a destination is specified, nbstlutil permanently cancels all pending copies that are bound for that destination, for all storage lifecycle policies.
Any new images that are created after this command are processed normally. If all pending copies of an image are canceled, that image is marked as complete. The destination name is the name of a storage unit or a storage unit group that is used in a storage lifecycle policy.
- diskspaceinfo
Reports on the space that is used by all disk volumes or only the disk volumes that the specified type uses.
- inactive
Suspends processing of secondary operations within a storage lifecycle policy, but retains the image information so that processing can resume later. Secondary operations are duplication, replication, and import from snapshot. Existing images and newly created images are suspended. The -lifecycle, -before, -after, and -destination options identify the secondary operations.
If the -lifecycle option and the -destination option are both used, nbstlutil suspends processing for the existing images that the storage lifecycle policy and destination options identify.
If only a storage lifecycle policy (-lifecycle) is specified, nbstlutil suspends all secondary operations for that storage lifecycle policy.
If only a destination is specified, nbstlutil suspends all secondary operations that use the specified destination for all storage lifecycle policies.
The inactive option uses an accompanying reactivation option that lets you select when the inactive secondary operations can resume processing.
- list
Shows the contents of an image list (EMM database). It lists images that reference an SLP. You can specify the SLP name to filter the image list. This option is primarily a debugging tool, but support may use the information to troubleshoot problems.
- pendimplist
Lists all images in the pending import state. These are replication events that are received but not yet imported successfully. Because the image import function does not import images with a backup time in the future, these images remain pending until the backup time has passed.
- redo
Repeats an SLP operation on an image. If a non-NetBackup action loses, damages, or destroys an image copy, redo lets you recreate the copy. If the original source copy is no longer available, the redo fails.
- report
Shows a rollup of incomplete copies of lifecycle managed images.
- repllist
Shows the status for completed replication copies.
- stlilist
Shows the status for incomplete copies of lifecycle managed images.
OPTIONS
- -after mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
Restricts the SLP secondary operation to only those backups started after the specified date-time.
- -b
Lists only the backup IDs.
- -backupid value
Specifies the backup ID whose images are to be processed.
- -before mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
Restricts the SLP secondary operation to only those backups started before the specified date-time.
- -client name
Restricts the listing of images for storage lifecycle operations to only those on the client that is specified by name.
- -copy_inactive value
Selects the images for which one or more copies are marked as inactive in the NetBackup database. This option is used primarily for debugging.
- -copy_incomplete value
Selects the images for which one or more copies are not marked as duplication complete in the NetBackup database. This option is used for debugging.
- -copy_state value
Selects the images with the specified copy state in the NetBackup database. This option is used primarily for debugging. Valid values for copy state are as follows:
1 - NOT_STARTED
2 - IN_PROCESS
3 - COMPLETE
9 - NOT_STARTED | INACTIVE
10 - IN_PROCESS | INACTIVE
- -copy_type value
Selects a copy type filter for the list commands (list and stlilist). Valid values are the following:
0 - Backup
1 - Duplication
2 - Snapshot
3 - Duplication to remote master (replica)
4 - Import
- -destination name
Selects the images that are scheduled to be duplicated to the storage unit or storage unit group that is specified by name.
- -duration hours
Sets the amount of time in hours after the lifecycle images are inactivated before reactivation begins. The number of hours must be in whole integers (1,2,...). This option is used only with the inactive option.
- -frag_state value
Selects the images with the specified fragment state in the NetBackup database. This option is used for debugging. Valid values for frag state are as follows:
1 - ACTIVE
2 - TO_BE_DELETED
3 - ELIGIBLE_FOR_EXPIRATION
- -image_inactive value
Selects the images that are marked as inactive in the NetBackup database. This option is used for debugging.
- -image_incomplete value
Selects the images that are not marked as lifecycle complete in the NetBackup database. This option is used for debugging.
- -image_state value
Selects the images with the specified image state in the NetBackup database. This option is used primarily for debugging. The valid values for image state are as follows:
1 - NOT_STARTED
2 - IN_PROCESS
3 - COMPLETE
9 - NOT_STARTED | INACTIVE
10 - IN_PROCESS | INACTIVE
- -jobid value
Restricts the output listing of images for storage lifecycle operations to only those that the specified job ID value has created. -jobid can be used only with the list option.
- -l
Produces a condensed parsable output of the listing.
- -lifecycle name
Selects only lifecycle managed image list.
- -mediaid value
Restricts the listing of images for storage lifecycle operations to only those on the media ID that value specifies.
- -mediaserver name
Restricts the listing of images for storage lifecycle operations to only those on the media that name specifies.
- -nowarn
Skips the interactive warning message.
- -policy name
Restricts the processing of images to those that the specified backup policy (name) has created. -policy can be used only with the list option.
- -reactivation_time mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
Sets the time in mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss format when you want the copies or SLPs that you are inactivating to be reactivated. The inactive option can use this option or the -duration option to reactivate inactivated copies or SLPs.
- -rt I | IC | ICF | ICFS
Selects the record types to be listed. The possible values are:
I - list only image records.
IC - list image and copy records.
ICF - list image, copy, and fragment records.
ICFS - list image, copy, fragment, and snapshot records.
- -sincetime timeval
Shows the status of completed replication copies from the specified timeval to the present. This option is used with the repllist function.
- -slpindex value
Specifies the SLP operation to be repeated. -slpindex can be used only with the redo operation.
- -state value
Selects a state field that value specifies in the NetBackup database. This option is used primarily for debugging.
- -storageserver name
Restricts the listing of images for storage lifecycle operations to only those on the storage server that name specifies.
- -stype server_type
Specifies a string that identifies the storage server type. The server_type value can originate from one of the following sources:
Veritas provided storage. Possible values are AdvancedDisk and PureDisk.
Third-party disk appliances. The vendor supplies the server_type string.
Cloud storage. Possible values are
amazon,att, azure, andrackspace. The cloud stype values reflect the cloud storage provider. Cloud storage stype values can also incorporate a suffix (for example,amazon_crypt). Possible suffixes are:_raw: The NetBackup backup image is sent to the cloud in raw format. Use this option if you do not want to compress or encrypt data before sending to cloud storage.
_rawc: Compresses the data before it is written to the cloud storage.
_crypt: Encrypt the data using AES-256 encryption before writing the data to cloud storage. You must have KMS configured in NetBackup to use this option._cryptc: Compress and encrypt the data before writing to cloud storage.
The storage server type is case sensitive.
- -U
Produces user-readable output of the listing.
- -version number
Restricts the list output to only images that are controlled by the specified SLP version. It must be used with the -lifecycle option.
