Setting MSDP storage server attributes
You may have to set storage server attributes to enable new functionality.
If you set an attribute on the storage server, you may have to set the same attribute on existing deduplication pools. The overview or configuration procedure for the new functionality describes the requirements.
See Setting a Media Server Deduplication Pool attribute.
To set a MSDP storage server attribute
- The following is the command syntax to set a storage server attribute. Run the command on the master server or on the storage server.
nbdevconfig -changests -storage_server storage_server -stype PureDisk -setattribute attribute
The following describes the options that require the arguments that are specific to your domain:
-storage_server storage_server
The name of the storage server.
-setattribute attribute
The attribute is the name of the argument that represents the new functionality.
For example, OptimizedImage specifies that the environment supports the optimized synthetic backup method.
The following is the path to the nbdevconfig command:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd
- To verify, view the storage server attributes.
