symantec netbackup command to delete drive from netbackup
Created: 05 Oct 2012 | Updated: 05 Oct 2012 | 10 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Removing a device with tpconfig just removes the drive from the NetBackup configuration of the local host that you performed the command upon, i.e. it might not entirely disappear from NetBackup.
Steps to completely removing drive
from tpconfig, tpautoconf, vmglob and emm DB are cleaned up
Can somebody provide me commands to delete from this utility and the functionality of each.

"Removing a device with tpconfig just removes the drive from the NetBackup configuration of the local host that you performed the command upon, i.e. it might not entirely disappear from NetBackup."
Wrong - because the device config is not held on the local host.
Read the manual for tpconfig, what does it say the 'delete' option does ?
There is your answer.
vmglob does not exist at NB 6.x or above. The command is old, and only looks in EMM
So, you now tell me, where is the device config held ?
nbemmcmd
Correct, well nbemm database.
So then, if you run a tpconfig -delete command, where do you think the config is deleted from ?
emm database.
So tpconfig is only required for deleting a drive from NBU?
Correct.
See, you worked all that out by yourself.

Thanks Martin.
