On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/

On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\

DESCRIPTION

The bpstsinfo command displays the attributes for plugins, storage servers, logical storage units (LSUs), and the images that reside on disk. The command also compares images old and current servers and volumes, displays all image IDs for an image group, and deletes a specified image. A log of the command activity is sent to the NetBackup admin log file for the current day. All errors for this command go to stderr.

Only authorized users can run this command.

For more about NetBackup authorization, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

OPTIONS

Only one of the following options can be specified on a single command line.

-comparedbandstu | -cdas

Compares the image information in the catalog to image information on the storage server physical media. -comparedbandstu compares the specified previous OpenStorage server(s) and volume(s) to the current OpenStorage server and volume.

-deleteimage | -di

Deletes the specified image.

-deleteimagegroup | -dig

Deletes the specified image group.

-diskspaceinfo | -dsi

Prints the aggregated space for a specified disk type.

-imagegrouplist | -igl

For a given image and image group type, print all associate image IDs

-imageinfo | -ii

Prints the image information.

-lsuinfo | -li

Prints the LSU information.

-plugininfo | -pi

Prints the plugin information for internal and external plugins on the system. When you use -plugininfo with no sub-options, all plugins are printed. Use with -serverprefix to restrict the printout to only the plugin with the specified prefix. Use -stype to restrict the printout to only plugins of the specified storage server type.

-serverinfo | -si

Prints the storage server information.

-servercap | -sc

Prints the storage server capabilities.

SUB-OPTIONS

-filteronimagemodetype [STS_SA_IMAGE | STS_SA_OPAQUEF | STS_SA_CLEARF]

Limits the LSUs to be printed on the system to the specified image mode type.

-imagedate image_date

Specifies a single image. The following are acceptable formats:

03/08/2009 09:41:22

1110296416

This option can be used with -imageinfo only; it cannot be used with -imagedatestart or -imagedateend.

-imagedateend image_date

Optional filter argument. By default, all images are used. Specify MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss to the images to something that is equal to or newer than the image_date.

-imagedatestart image_date

Optional filter argument. By default, all images are used. Specify MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss to limit the images to something that is equal to or newer than the image_date.

-imagename image_name

Optional filter argument. By default, all images are used. Specify image_name to limit to only the images that match.

-imagetype STS_FULL_ONLY | STS_INCR_ONLY

Optional filter argument. By default, both the full and the incremental images are used. STS_FULL_ONLY or STS_INCR_ONLY to limit to only images from a full backup or an incremental backup.

-lsuname lsu_name,...

Optional filter argument. By default, all LSUs are used. Specify lsu_name to limit to one LSU for each -lsuname supplied.

-remote remote_server...

Specifies the name of a remote server to query for disk information. The remote server performs the bpstsinfo operation instead of the host on which the bpstsinfo command is executed. You can specify multiple remote servers, one for each -remote supplied.

-servername server_name

Specifies the hostname of the STS server. If -servername is not specified, the hostname of the local host is used.

-serverprefix server_prefix

Limits server prefixes to the one that server_prefix specifies. Optional filter argument. By default, all server prefixes are used. This option can be used with -serverinfo, -lsuinfo, and -imageinfo. The following are valid prefixes:

  • ntap:

  • STSBasicDisk:

  • PureDisk:

-stype server_type

Specifies a string that identifies the storage server type. The server_type value can originate from one of the following sources:

  • Veritas provided storage. Possible values are AdvancedDisk and PureDisk.

  • Third-party disk appliances. The vendor supplies the server_type string.

  • Cloud storage. Use the csconfig cldprovider -l command to determine the possible stype values. The cloud stype values reflect the cloud storage provider. Cloud storage stype values can also incorporate a suffix (for example, amazon_crypt). Possible suffixes are:

    • _raw: The NetBackup backup image is sent to the cloud in raw format. Use this option if you do not want to compress or encrypt data before sending to cloud storage.

    • _rawc: Compresses the data before it is written to the cloud storage.

    • _crypt: Encrypt the data using AES-256 encryption before writing the data to cloud storage. You must have KMS configured in NetBackup to use this option.

    • _cryptc: Compress and encrypt the data before writing to cloud storage.

The storage server type is case sensitive.

When used with the -diskspaceinfo option, -stype specifies the disk type that is to display the aggregated space. An example of the output display:

Disktype: AdvancedDisk TotalCapacity: 100000000 TotalUsed: 
10000000

Licensing is based on the TotalCapacity and TotalUsed values.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 - List the attributes of the lsu SnapMirrorA1 on storage server apricot:

# bpstsinfo -lsuinfo -serverprefix "ntap:" -servername apricot /
-lsuname /vol/dsu1 
LsuInfo:
    Server Name: ntapdfm
    LSU Name: SnapMirrorA1
    Allocation: STS_LSU_AT_STATIC
    Storage: STS_LSU_ST_NONE
    Description:
    Configuration: 
    Media: (STS_LSUF_DISK | STS_LSUF_REP_ENABLED)
    Save As: (STS_SA_SNAPSHOT | STS_SA_MIRROR)
    Replication Sources: 1 ( simdisk:ntapdfm:SnapVaultA )
    Replication Targets: 0 ( )
    Maximum Transfer: 0
