Re: [Veritas-bu] how to see whether the device has lock

It's unclear whether you're asking about an OS-level SCSI reserve that NetBackup doesn't know about, but assuming SSO and a SCSI reserve that NetBackup actually set, you want /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmdareq, like so:

root@pa2ibks2:/usr/openv/volmgr/bin
[9] vmdareq -display -D P2R0E2-9940b-05
P2R0E2-9940b-05 - RESERVED on Fri Oct 26 12:36:50 2007
phlmaster RESERVED SCAN_HOST UP

(Also good, with no arguments, to make sure that your SSO-using [SAN] media servers are registering their drives properly.)

Note that that's NBU 4.x/5.x speak. I can't speak to 6.x (yet).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] how to see whether the device has lock

Hi,

Although the drive is empty, It seems as if it is being used master server. Due to that, that drive can not be used by policies. Is there any command to see there is a lock on it?Is there any command to clear the lock to re-use it without stopping netbackup daemons?

Regards,

Asiye Yigit
