Scanning storage devices using the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu
You can create new virtual disks and provision the disks to the NetBackup Virtual Appliance for storage expansion. Whenever a virtual disk is connected or disconnected to the virtual host, use the Storage > Scan command to detect the storage device or refresh its status.
Note:
When creating new disks for disk provisioning, make sure the disk size is a multiple of 0.5 TB, or 512 GB. The appliance can only add a disk when the disk size matches that criteria.
The following procedure describes how to scan the connected storage devices to your appliance from the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu.
To scan the storage devices
- Log on to the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu.
- From the Main > Manage > Storage menu, type the following command:
Scan
When the scan operation is complete, the storage disks and devices information is updated.
