Re: [Networker] How to manage Storage Node

In a nutshell, you are backing up to an ADV-file type (backing up to
disk) and that disk is running short (or has run out of) space.

On the linux box command line do a df -k and you should see which
filesystem is full.

What you do with it is up to you (expand volume, etc.) but here's one
way to cope with the situation on networker.

Stop it getting worse, put the following device in service mode
rd=backup-sn:/data/hddbkp/ - the other device is read only anyway. 
Kill off any backup that is writing to that device.
Stage the data off the device onto tape (do an mminfo -r"SSID"
-q"volume=volumename" on the volume mounted on that device to determine
what is on there and then do an nsrstage -v -b poolname -m -S ssid from
the list)
Do one or two ssids at first as doing a lot in one go will not free
space until they all finish (same with doing a stage from the GUI, it
will take forever and can produce unexpected results - as can any system
with a full disk)
Once you have cleared one or two ssids, then you can do the rest in one
go by either piping the mminfo command into nsrstage or by sending
mminfo output to file and using file as input to nsrstage)

Set up automatic staging (or script it) so you don't run into this in
future.
