Disk Staging: Stage II
In the second stage of disk staging, images are relocated from the disk staging storage unit to the destination storage unit.
The images are relocated based on the relocation schedule configured during the disk staging storage unit setup, by clicking the Disk Staging Schedule button. The button is available only when Disk Staging Storage Unit is selected as the storage unit type.
Every time the relocation schedule runs, NetBackup creates a job that acts as a data management job, looking for data that needs to be relocated. The Job Details in the Activity Monitor identify the job as one associated with a disk staging storage unit by listing Disk Staging in the job's Data Movement field.
The data management job can also be initiated manually.
To manually initiate a disk staging storage unit relocation schedule
-
In the NetBackup Administration Console, select NetBackup Management > Storage Units. Storage unit information appears in the Details pane.
-
Select a disk staging storage unit in the Details pane.
-
Select Actions > Manual Relocation to Final Destination to initiate the schedule.
If the relocation schedule finds data that can be relocated, NetBackup creates a duplication job to relocate the data to the Destination Storage Unit.
The image then exists both on the disk staging storage unit and the destination storage unit. When the disk staging storage unit becomes full, it is cleaned and the oldest images are deleted.
