Changing the status of a disk-based storage device

To change the status to online or offline:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate the device, and then click the corresponding Manage Device icon .
3
If the device is offline, click Online to bring it back online.
4
If the device is online, click Offline to take it offline.
The Offline method marks the device as offline and makes the device unavailable to NetVault Backup. This method does not physically take the system offline.

Scanning a disk-based storage device

You can use the Scan method to query all backups stored on a disk-based storage device and import those backups that are not indexed in the given NetVault Backup Server’s database.

To import backups to the database, the NetVault Backup Server must have the same NetVault Backup Machine Name as the original server that performed the backups. The amount of time it takes to scan the backups depends on the number of backups that need to be imported and the size of the backup indexes.

You can scan indexes that are generated with the same or previous versions of NetVault Backup. You cannot scan indexes generated with a newer version of NetVault Backup on an earlier version of the server if the servers do not use the same index version. If an index version is not supported, the index is not imported and a message is generated in the logs.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: When a backup stored on a disk-based storage device (such as DR Series System, NetVault SmartDisk, or Data Domain System) is retired, that backup is deleted from the device. You cannot import the deleted backup by scanning the device.
To scan a disk-based storage device:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices. In the list of devices, locate the device and click the corresponding Manage Device icon .
Alternatively, in the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage. Click Explore Disk Storage, and in the repository table, select the device.
2
On the RAS Device Management or Explore Disk Storage page, click Scan.
3
In the Scan Device dialog box, you can configure the following option:
•
Minimum life for imported backups: This option specifies the minimum life for backups that are imported to the NetVault Database. This option only applies to the backups that are not available in the NetVault Database.
The default value for this option is seven days. You can change the default setting by modifying the Media Manager settings. For more information, see Configuring general settings for Media Manager.
To change the minimum life setting for the current session, type or select a new value. The minimum life setting is specified in number of days.
Depending on the value set for this option, the retirement time for imported backups is modified as follows:
•
If a backup is scheduled to retire before the specified period, its retirement time is set to the specified minimum life.
•
If a backup is scheduled to retire after the specified period, its retirement time remains unchanged. For such backups, the backup life setting determines the retirement time.
Click Scan to start the scanning process and close the dialog box.
 
* 
NOTE: If a backup stored on a DR Series System was performed using a non-standard block size, the scan process is unable to read the index for that backup from the device. To import indexes for such backups, you can configure an alternate index read block size in the mediamgr.cfg file. For more information, see Configuring an alternate index read block size for Quest DR Series Systems.

Removing all savesets from a disk-based storage device

The Expire All method lets you remove all savesets from a disk-based storage device. You can use this method before removing a device from NetVault Backup if you no longer require the backups stored on the device.

To remove all savesets from a disk-based storage device:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices. In the list of devices, locate the device and click the corresponding Manage Device icon .
Alternatively, in the Navigation pane, click Explore Storage. Click Explore Disk Storage, and in the repository table, select the device.
2
On the RAS Device Management or Explore Disk Storage page, click Expire All.
3
In the confirmation dialog box, provide the following information:
•
Password: Type the password for the NetVault Backup Server. If no password is set for the NetVault Backup Server, provide the system's root or administrator password.
•
Enter ‘EXPIRE’ to confirm request: To confirm, type BLANK (case-insensitive) in this box.
4
Click OK.

Removing a disk-based storage device

You can use the following procedure to remove a disk-based storage device that is no longer required.

When you remove a device, the backups stored on the device are not deleted. You can add the device to the same or different NetVault Backup Server to use the backups. If you add the device to a different server, you must scan the device to use the backups stored on it.

To remove a disk-based storage device:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate the device and click the corresponding Manage Device icon .
3
On the RAS Device Management, click Remove. In the confirmation dialog box, click Remove again.
4
If NetVault Backup fails to remove the device, select the Force Removal check box in the confirmation dialog, and click Remove.
 
* 
NOTE: You can use the Force Removal option to remove a device that is not in use. However, the device may still try to communicate with the NetVault Backup Server.
