Destroying a volume before backups are expired

You might destroy a volume before expiring the backups using the NetBackup application. If this is the case, stale information exists in the NetBackup catalog and on the NearStore storage system.

Considerations

Steps

1. Expire all of the backups to the storage unit configured as this volume using the NetBackup application. For more information, see the NetBackup documentation.

2. Determine what stale information exists in the destroyed volume using the following command: system1> snapvault status -c

   Example

   system1> snapvault status -c
   
   Snapvault secondary is ON.
   /vol/p3/nbu_clientname_C1_F1.CLF_daily_0000
   source=clientname_C1_F1.CLF:daily
   /vol/p3/nbu_clientname_C1_TIR.IMG_daily_0000
   source=clientname_C1_TIR.IMG:daily
   /vol/p3/nbu_clientname_C1_HDR.IMG_daily_0000
   source=clientname_C1_HDR.IMG:daily
   /vol/p3/nbu_clientname_C1_F1.CLF_weekly_0000
   source=clientname_C1_F1.CLF:weekly
   /vol/p3/nbu_clientname_C1_TIR.IMG_weekly_0000
   source=clientname_C1_TIR.IMG:weekly
   /vol/p3/nbu_clientname_C1_HDR.IMG_weekly_0000
   source=clientname_C1_HDR.IMG:weekly
   

3. For each qtree listed for the volume, enter the following command: snapvault stop -f qtree_path

   Example

   system> snapvault stop -f
   
   /vol/p3/nbu_clientname_C1_F1.CLF_daily_0000
