Updating an OpenStorage storage server to reflect plug-in updates
If an OpenStorage partner updates their plug-in, update the NetBackup storage server to reflect the new functionality of the plug-in.
For example, the NetApp plug-in used for Replication Director is the NBUPlugin.
If the OpenStorage plug-in is updated on the storage server, use the following procedure to update the NetBackup storage server configuration to reflect this:
To update the NetBackup OpenStorage storage server from the NetBackup Administration Console
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Credentials > Storage Servers.
- In the right pane, right-click the storage server.
- Select Update Storage Server Details.
- Update the existing disk pools so that each can use the new functionality. Any disk pools that were created after the storage server is updated inherit the new functionality.
To update the NetBackup OpenStorage storage server configuration from the command line
- Run the following command on the master server or on one of the media servers:
On Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -updatests -storage_server storage_server -stype server_type -media_server media_server
On UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -updatests -storage_server storage_server -stype server_type -media_server media_server
See the following descriptions of the options that require arguments:
-storage_server storage_server
The name of the disk appliance.
-stype server_type
The storage vendor provides the string that identifies the server type.
For example, Network_NTAP or Network_NTAP_CDOT.
-media_server media_server
A NetBackup media server that connects to the storage server. The media server queries the storage server for its capabilities. The vendor plug-in must be installed on the media server. If the plug-in resides on more than one media server, you can specify any one of them.
