Reclaim Space on NBU 5230 after Expiring Images
We ran into Status 129 - Disk storage unit is full on NBU Appliance 5230 - 2.6.1.2
We Expired older images manually from Netbackup Console and we should be having around 30 TB Free space
The cleanup ran fine but how much time would it take before i see the Reclaimed space on Appliance
Can it immediately list up the free space
Can we force garbage collection and old fragments to be removed rather than waiting for it to complete.

- Expire images backed up to the disk pool via NetBackup
- Check the Dedupe Storage queue folder. You should see lots of tlogs ready for processing
ls -l /disk/queue/ - Run CR queue processing
/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --processqueue - Monitor processing progress by checking the storage log
tail -f /disk/log/spoold/storaged.log - Run Garbage collection
/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcollect -v -m +1,+2 (crcollect is found in NetBackup versions prior to 7.6) - Check the Dedupe Storage queue folder. If you see some tlogs for processing, repeat steps 3 through 5.
- Check the "used" and "Space available within containers" values in the following command
/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --dsstat - If dsstat showed a high value for "Space needs compaction", run compaction processing
/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --compactstart
