Inventorying a NetBackup disk pool

An inventory of a NetBackup disk pool reads the capacity of the disk volumes in the pool. An inventory operation lets you update NetBackup with the new capacity values if you do the following:

Increase or decrease the size of the disk volumes in a disk pool.
Add volumes to or remove volumes from a disk pool.

How you increase or decrease the underlying storage capacity depends on your storage implementation. You must complete that process before you inventory the disk pool.

To inventory a NetBackup disk pool

in the NetBackup Administration Console, select Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pools.
On the Actions menu, select Inventory Disk Pools.
In the Inventory Disk Pool dialog box, select the disk pool to inventory and then click Start Inventory.
To update the NetBackup catalog with the capacity values returned by the inventory, click Update Configuration.
To inventory another disk pool, go to step 3.
To exit, click Close.
