Determining OpenStorage disk volume state

Use the NetBackup nbdevquery command to determine the state of volumes in OpenStorage disk pools.

To determine OpenStorage disk volume state

  1. Determine the name of the disk volume. The following command lists the volumes in the specified disk pool:

    install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdev query -listdv -stype server_type -dp disk_pool_name

    For the server_type, the storage vendor provides the string that identifies the server type.

    To display the disk volumes in all OpenStorage disk pools on that vendor's storage, omit the -dp option.

  2. Display the volume state by using the following command:

    install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\nbdevquery -l -listdv [-dv disk_volume] --stype server_type

    The state is either UP or DOWN.
