Use these commands to reread storage units configuration w/o restarting NetBackup.
 
bpschedreq -read_stunits
 
bpschedreq -read_stu_config

bpschedreq -read_stunits
bpschedreq -read_stu_config

Those only work for udating after a change to an existing storage unit.
You still have to bounce the services when you reate a new storage unit.
 
GENERAL ERROR: Jobs sit in queue and never start when using newly added storage unit 
 
Overview:
Adding a new storage unit will not make it immediately available for backups. After creating a new storage unit, the VERITAS NetBackup (tm) processes need to be restarted. Any attempt to back up or restore to the new storage unit will cause the job to queue and never run.

However, in NB 6.X .......
 
 
DOCUMENTATION: What are some of the situations where is it necessary to restart daemons / services in VERITAS NetBackup (tm) 6.0?
 
The following are some common situations where it may be necessary to restart some or all of the NetBackup 6.0 daemons:

I. Changing the storage unit configuration
When adding, removing,  or modifying a storage unit in NetBackup 6.0, no restarts are necessary.  Changes will take effect for the next backup or restore that uses the storage unit.  Any existing backups will not be updated with the changes if they were started before the changes were made.
Adding:  No daemons need to be restarted
Modifying:  No daemons need to be restarted
Deleting:  No daemons need to be restarted

Hi,

Like we were rereading the STU on master/media in 5.x we dont have any such commands or similar to that in 6.0 and above whihc can refresh the storage units.
