Nbdecommission
From Spaldam's Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchThis is an example run of the nbdecommission command:
In this example all tape drives, robotic controls, and other storage devices were manually removed or re-configured to other media servers; as much as possible. SLPs, STUs, STU Groups, and policies were also updated to move backups to the new media server. Jobs were then monitored for a couple of weeks to insure nothing was getting backed up to the old media server.
It's also a good idea to disable any monitoring such as any alters configured within OpsCenter before running this command.
# nbdecommission
Usage:
nbdecommission -oldserver <hostname>
[-list_ref | -newserver <hostname> [-file <op_dump_file>]]
[-M <master_server>] [-reason "<reason>"] [-v]
# nbdecommission -oldserver bkup101 -newserver bkup103
