Manage Storage Groups

A storage group is a logical storage unit that can be associated with one or more archives in your database. A storage group is said to be online if there are one or more running Storage Managers (SMs) that serve the storage group. A storage group is said to be offline if no running SMs serve the storage group.

A storage group that has been online and then went offline cannot be brought back online when the database contains running TEs.

To manage storage groups, use the following commands:

nuocmd get storage-groups: Displays information about storage groups in your domain.
nuocmd add storage-group: Associates storage groups with archives. For more information, see Add a Storage Group to an Archive.
nuocmd remove storage-group: Removes the association of storage groups from archives. For more information, see Remove a Storage Group from an Archive.
nuocmd delete storage-group: Permanently deletes offline storage groups from the database. For more information, see Delete a Storage Group from a Database.
