Tochange the state to DOWN, the disk pool in which the volume resides must not
bebusy. If backup jobs are assigned to the disk pool, the state change fails. Cancel
the backup jobs or wait until the jobs complete.
To change the deduplication disk volume state
1Determine the name of the disk volume. The following command lists all
volumes in the specified disk pool:
nbdevquery -listdv -stype PureDisk -dp disk_pool_name
The nbdevquery and the nbdevconfig commands reside in the following
directory:
■UNIX: /usr/openv/NetBackup/bin/admincmd
■Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
To display the disk volumes in all disk pools, omit the -dp option.
2Change the disk volume state; the following is the command syntax:
nbdevconfig -changestate -stype PureDisk -dp disk_pool_name –dv
vol_name -state state
The state is either UP or DOWN.
