The NetBackup storage lifecycle utility command (nbstlutil) gives administrators the ability to intervene between pending storage lifecycle operations. Specifically, the nbstlutil command can be used to cancel, inactivate, or activate the processing of existing lifecycle-managed images.
nbstlutil cannot affect the jobs that are currently running or queued. Use the Activity Monitor to intervene in the jobs that are running or queued.
The command is found in the following location:
install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbstlutil
Use nbstlutil to perform the following administrative actions:
List the status of lifecycle-managed images. The EMM table that tracks the status of lifecycle-processed images can be printed. Support may request this information to troubleshoot a lifecycle problem.
Cancel pending duplication operations on the selected images or image copies. When a duplication is canceled, NetBackup considers the image or image copy to be lifecycle complete and does not attempt to create any more copies of the backup image.
Inactivate (suspend) pending and future lifecycle operations on selected images or image copies. NetBackup retains the image information so that processing can be resumed by the administrator at a later time.
Activate (resume) suspended lifecycle operations on selected images or image copies.
See NetBackup Commands for Windows for a description of all the options available for nbstlutil.
