Deleting old versions of Storage Lifecycle Policies (SLPs)

[Carlos_Louren_o]

I'm trying to delete a couple of old storage units, but apparently they are still associated with older versions of the SLP.

I've come across http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH212238 , but do not understand the logic behind the command given as an example in ...

nbstl Example-SLP-Name -modify_version -version 0 -residence stu_adv_example12,stu_disk_change-to14,__NA__

I've run the nbstl -L -all_versions command to find out what SLP, and which version these storage units were associated with.

In version 6 operation 1 of SLP1, I want to delete stu_adv_example12.

Can someone please help me with what the command would be to accomplish this, in order to free up the storage unit to be deleted ?

Hi,

We need to find out how many versions have that storage unit by using command.

# nbstl SLP-Name -L -all_versions

For example

I have SLP name SLP_XYZ two operation 1)Backup 2)Duplication.

Operation 1 have storage unite STU1
Operation 2 have storage unite STU2

Now I want to delete the Storage unit STU2. We cannot delete the STU2 if its part of SLP so we need to replace it.
We will replace the storage unit STU2 to STU3. All version output show the SLP version 1 and operation 2 have STU2.

So my command will be:
#nbstl SLP_XYZ -modify_version -version 1 -residence STU1,STU3

Thanks & Regards,
