NetBackup tpconfig command line

I was instructed to use the command line tpconfig -d to obtain the drvindex needed by tpconfig -delete -drive <drvindex>. Rather then go with my best guess I figured I would ask.

Given the output below, would the correct <drvindex> be 2?

 tpconfig -delete -drive 2 

 C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin>tpconfig -d

      {3,0,1,0}                                                        UP

Thanks, probably a basic question but I simply do not deal with product on this level.

  • The 1st column is drive index :

    0    =  IBM.ULTRIUM-TD4.000
    1    =  IBM.ULTRIUM-TD4.001
    2    =  IBM.ULTRIUM-TD4.002
    3    =  IBM.ULTRIUM-TD4.003

    The "Missing Drive" is Index 2.

     

    You can also use 'tpconfig -l' to list/display config. I find this output easier to read.

  • Column Id represent's the Drive Index Number.

    Looks like Drive's IBM.ULTRIUM-TD4.002, IBM.ULTRIUM-TD4.003 are pointing to the same drive.
