About viewing storage space information using the Show command
This section describes the Show <Type> commands and their usage in the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu. These commands can be accessed from Main_Menu > Manage > Storage.
The<Type> parameter is required when using the Show command.
The following Show <Type> commands are described:
Show ALL - to view disk, partition, and distribution information together.
Show Disk - to view total capacity, unallocated storage capacity, and current status of a disk.
Show Partition [All/Configuration/Usage] - to view total, available, and used storage capacity of a partition.
Show Distribution - to view the distribution of partitions on a disk.
----------------------------------------------------------------- Disk ID | Type | Total | Unallocated | Status ----------------------------------------------------------------- SCSI(0:0) | System | 512 GB | - | N/A SCSI(0:1) | Base | 2.10 TB | 1.97 GB | In Use SCSI(0:1) (Base) ------------------------------ AdvancedDisk : 64 GB - 0 : 64 GB Configuration : 50 GB - 0 : 50 GB MSDP : 1.94 TB - 0 : 1.94 TB MSDP Catalog : 20 GB - 0 : 20 GB NetBackup Catalog : 30 GB - 0 : 30 GB
Table: Partition type status
Status | Description |
|---|---|
Optimal | The storage partition is accessible and the entire capacity is available for backups. |
Degraded | The entire storage capacity of the partition is not available in this state. Only a limited storage capacity of the partition is available. |
Not Accessible | The entire storage capacity of the partition is not available so no tasks can be performed. |
Not Configured | Storage is not configured or imported for the storage partition. |
Table: Partition name status describes the various status of a particular partition.
Table: Partition name status
Status | Description |
|---|---|
Mounted | The partition is currently mounted. |
Not Mounted | The partition is not currently mounted. If the partition is not mounted, the status can either be Degraded or Not Accessible. See Table: Partition type status for more information. |
I/O Error | There is an I/O error with the partition. If the partition has an I/O error, the status can either be Degraded or Not Accessible. See Table: Partition type status for more information. |
Note:
The Available and Used Size values displayed for the MSDP partition on the page or by using the command on the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu may not be the full space available or used by the MSDP partition. This is because space is reserved by the file system and also by MSDP. The file system reserves space for it's own use. In addition, MSDP reserves 4 percent of the storage space for the deduplication database and transaction logs.
Check the MSDP disk pool sizes displayed on the NetBackup Administration Console to know the MSDP statistics.
