The storage server configuration file is a file that contains the configuration settings for your storage server. The file does not exist unless you create. The file may help you with recovery of your storage server. Therefore, Symantec recommends that you get and save the storage server configuration.

If you create the file after you configure your environment, it contains the configuration settings for your storage server. The following is an example of a populated configuration file:

V6.5.5 "storagepath" "F:\DedupeData" string
V6.5.5 "spalogpath" "F:\DedupeData\log" string
V6.5.5 "dbpath" "E:\DedupeDB" string
V6.5.5 "required_interface" "DEDUPESERVER" string
V6.5.5 "spalogretention" "7" int
V6.5.5 "verboselevel" "3" int
V6.5.5 "Storage Pool Size" "235.8GB" string
V6.5.5 "Storage Pool Used Space" "3.7GB" string
V6.5.5 "Storage Pool Available Space" "232.0GB" string
V6.5.5 "Catalog Logical Size" "129Bytes" string
V6.5.5 "Catalog files Count" "2" string
V6.5.5 "Space Used Within Containers" "171Bytes" string

V6.5.5 represents the version of the I/O format not the NetBackup release level. The version may differ on your system.

Normally, the file should be used as reference only.

If you create the file when a storage server is not configured or is down and unavailable, NetBackup creates a template file. For example, for disaster recovery you may need to edit a template file to create a configuration file to recover your storage server. The following is an example of a template configuration file:

V6.5.5 "storagepath" "none" string
V6.5.5 "spalogin" "n" string
V6.5.5 "spapasswd" " "  string
V6.5.5 "dbpath" "db_path" string
V6.5.5 "required_interface" "" string
V6.5.5 "spalogretention" "7" int
V6.5.5 "verboselevel" "3" int
