Disabling a Fibre Transport media server

You can disable an FT media server and remove the operating system FT startup scripts from the media server. The process also removes the nbhba driver and exits nbhba mode. The media server then does not support NetBackup Fibre Transport.

See About disabling SAN Client and Fibre Transport.

Warning:

On Solaris systems, /etc/driver_aliases file entries may remain after you remove the FT services and the nbhba driver. The entries are in the form of qla2300 "pci1077,xxx" or qla2300 "pciex1077,xxx. The entries are harmless; however, if you attempt to remove them, the system may not boot. Sun Microsystems recommends that you do not edit the /etc/driver_aliases file.

To disable an FT media server and remove drivers

On the FT media server, run the following script:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftsrv_config -d

Verify that the following startup scripts were removed:

On Linux systems, the following are the scripts:

/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S21nbftserver
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S21nbftserver
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S21nbftserver
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K03nbftserver
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K03nbftserver
/lib/modules/ 2.6.*smp/kernel/drivers/misc/ql2300_stub.ko
/lib/modules/ 2.6.*smp/kernel/drivers/misc/windrvr6.ko

On Solaris systems, the following are the scripts:

/etc/rc2.d/S21nbftserver
/etc/rc0.d/K03nbftserver
/usr/kernel/drv/windrvr6.conf
/usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9/windrvr6
/usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9/ql2300_stub

If the startup scripts were not removed, delete them manually.
Run the following script:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbftconfig -ds ft_server_host_name
