Updating disk pools after volumes are added, are deleted, or are changed
The storage administrator may change the properties of the volumes in a way that affects the topology of the volumes. If these volumes are used in a Replication Director environment, the changes may affect the capabilities of the disk pool. For example, a volume change may make a volume in the disk pool no longer usable by NetBackup.
If volume properties change, you must update the disk pools to which those volumes belong. Depending on the volume changes, you may also have to change storage units, storage unit groups, and storage lifecycle policies.
Note:
If an OpenStorage partner updates the plug-in on a disk-array, update the NetBackup storage server and the disk pools to reflect the new functionality of the plug-in.
See Updating an OpenStorage storage server to reflect plug-in updates.
See Updating an OpenStorage disk pool to reflect plug-in updates.
To update the volumes in a disk pool after the storage changes
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pools.
- In the right pane, select the disk pool you want to update.
- Click Edit > Change.
- In the Change Disk Pool dialog box, click Refresh to query the disk array for new, deleted, or changed volumes.
- NetBackup communicates volume changes in the following manner:
If a new volume was added, the volume appears in the list. It may be eligible to be added to the disk pool.
If volumes have been deleted, or changed, or are no longer homogenous, see the following topic:
