Problem Description :   I run out of    PDDE   Disk capacity, The backups on  the PureDisk Volume  were  fails with status code 129.

   I did the following  : -

 moved the   existing  PureDisk Volume  /Storage to Newly created LUN (high Disk capacity)
 

  • PDDE  /Storage is mount on /dev/dsk/c1t500A09818617DCC6d0s7 ( 30 GB LUN)
  • df -h /Storage/ shows

/dev/dsk/c1t500A09818617DCC6d0s7
                        30G    26G   2.9G    91%    /Storage

When 91% of   /Storage touches  HWM, Backup operation starts  failing  with Status 129 : -

  • umount /Storage/

  • mv -f   /nonstd/*   /Storage/
  • NetBackup Deduplication Manager start
  • NetBackup Deduplication Engine start
  • Refresh the Status of Disk POOL

When you restart the  JOB failed during 129 status, The backups operation will start on    PureDisk Volume with new capacity  (80GB in this case)

Hi Is it possible to swap out

Hi

Is it possible to swap out an HP smart array 6400 card for the 4 port model?  Reason I ask is that we have reached storage capacity on the 2 x MSA30's attached to the existing card.  The server cannot physically take another 2 port card, so wondering if I can replace with a 4 port card attach another 2 x msa's and resume?

You can move the Data from

You can move the Data from /Storage to /Storagenew and then unmount the old /Storage partition. There is a Technote on how to do this. I have used it twice and its been 100% both times.

Better Migration Option

We actually highly recommend using the rysnc method over the FSsync method, as documented here:
