Unconfiguring a universal share accelerator

When you unconfigure the universal share accelerator on the client side, you delete the universal share accelerator and its point in times. Unconfiguring removes the connection with the NetBackup primary server but the backup images on the primary server side are not deleted. To delete the universal share accelerator, you must delete it from the NetBackup web UI.

To unconfigure the universal share accelerator on the client side, use the following:/usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_accelerator.sh - unconfig

Note:

If you run vpfs_accelerator.sh - unconfig it deletes the data for the universal share accelerator and the data cannot be recovered.
