Moving a partition
This procedure describes the process to move a partition from one storage disk to another.
This operation is supported on the following types of NetBackup Virtual Appliance:
Combined master and media server for remote offices and branch offices (ROBO)
Media server for data centers (DC)
Master server
To move a partition
- Log on to the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu.
- From the Main > Manage > Storage view, type the following command:
Move Partition SourceDiskID TargetDiskID Size Unit
Partition refers to the storage partition like AdvancedDisk, Configuration, MSDP, etc.
Note:
The NetBackup Catalog partition cannot be moved on a combined master and media server appliance.
SourceDiskID refers to the disk ID of the source disk. Use Show Distribution to view the disk ID and the partitions on it.
TargetDiskID refers to the disk ID of the target disk. Use Show Distribution to view the disk ID and the partitions on it.
Size refers to the storage size that you want to move from the current disk to the new disk. Partition size must be greater than 0. If you specify a partition size that is greater than the actual partition size, the appliance moves the whole partition.
Unit refers to unit size (GB/TB/PB).
For example:
abc123.Storage> Move MSDP SCSI(0:3) SCSI(0:4) 5 GB
Note:
The partition size and the workload on the system determine the time required to move a partition.
