AdvancedDisk storage server options

The following are the nbdevconfig command options used to configure storage servers.

Table: Options to configure AdvancedDisk storage server

Option	Description
-storage_server storage_server	The name of the NetBackup media server that has a file system mount on the storage.
-stype hostname	Use `AdvancedDisk`.
-st storage_type	A numeric value that specifies the storage server properties. For AdvancedDisk, the default is 5 (direct attached, formatted disk). Required only if you want to use a value other than the default. Determine the value by adding together the numeric values of the following properties: 1 - formatted disk. The disk is formatted as part of the vendor-specific preparation; NetBackup does not format the disk. 2 - raw disk. The disk is not formatted; NetBackup formats the disk. 4 - direct attached. Direct-attached means that the storage server and media server are the same NetBackup host. 8 - network attached. Network-attached means that the storage server is physically distinct from the NetBackup media server. It does not imply LAN data movement nor does it preclude Fibre Channel as the transport for data movement. Whether the disk is formatted and how it is attached are mutually exclusive and complementary.
-media_server hostname	Use the same name as the storage server name.
-setattribute attribute	An attribute to apply to the storage server for the read side of restore or duplication operations. The following are the attributes: PrefRestore. The storage server is preferred for the read side of restore operations. More than one storage server can have the PrefRestore attribute. ReqRestore. The storage server is required for the read side of restore operations. More than one storage server can have the ReqRestore attribute. ReqDuplicate. The storage server is required for the read side of duplication operations. More than one storage server can have the ReqDuplicate attribute. See About AdvancedDisk preferred or required read servers.
