Symantec Manage Your Storage Server Configuration and Deduplication with nbdevconfig

70Managing deduplication Managing deduplication servers

Setting the storage server configuration

You can set the storage server configuration (that is, configure the storage server) by importing the configuration from a file. Setting the configuration can help you with recovery of your environment.

The file should be file of your configuration that you saved.

See “Preparing for disaster” on page 103.

Alternative, the file may be an edited configuration file.

See “Editing a storage server configuration file” on page 68.

To set the storage server configuration

◆On the master server, run the following command:

UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -setconfig -storage_server sshostname -stype PureDisk -configlist file.txt

Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -setconfig -storage_server sshostname -stype PureDisk -configlist file.txt

For sshostname, use the name of the storage server. For file.txt, use the name of the file that contains the configuration.

Deleting a load balancing server configuration file

Each load balancing server for deduplication has a sshostname.cfg file. The sshostname is the name of the configured deduplication storage server. The sshostname is the fully qualified domain name if that was used to configure the storage server.

You may need to delete the storage server configuration file from a load balancing server. For example, disaster recovery may require that you delete the configuration file.

To delete the configuration file

◆Delete the file; it's location depends on the operating system type, as follows: UNIX: /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins

Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\ost-plugins

Removing a load balancing server

You can remove a load balancing server from a deduplication node. The media server no longer deduplicates client data.
