Updating an OpenStorage storage server

You may have to update your storage server. For example, if your vendor provides an updated plug-in, you must update the storage server so NetBackup can read the appliance capabilities. The vendor may provide an updated plug-in to add or change functionality.

If you update the storage server, you also must update existing disk pools so they use the new functionality. Any disk pools that you create after you update the storage server inherit the new functionality.

To update an OpenStorage storage server in NetBackup

Run the following command on the master server or on one of the media servers:

install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevconfig -updatests -storage_server storage_server -stype server_type -media_server media_server

See the following descriptions of the options that require arguments:

-storage_server storage_server	The name of the disk appliance.
-stype server_type	The storage vendor provides the string that identifies the server type.
-media_server media_server	A NetBackup media server that connects to the storage server. The media server queries the storage server for its capabilities. The vendor plug-in must be installed on the media server. If the plug-in resides on more than one media server, you can specify any one of them.
