On Windows NT/2000 NetBackup for NDMP server:
install_path\Volmgr\bin\set_ndmp_attr -auth filer_name root
Password: *******
Re-enter Password: *******
Make sure you enter the proper password for the root user on the filer.
Once this is set properly:
Go to Media and Device Manager
Select: Actions/New/Robot
This will allow you to setup the robot as an NDMP controlled robot. You
will also provide the name of the filer in the 'NDMP host name' box.
Select: Actions/New/Drive
This allows you to setup the drives. 'Device host' should be the name of
the Windows NT/2000 NetBackup for NDMP server that you are using. The
'Drive name' can be anything you want (barring special characters). And
the 'Device Name' would be filer_name:device_file. I.e. toaster:nrst0a
You will then need to create a Storage Unit and Backup Policy/Class.
Determining the robot information is a little tough, as NetApp does not
provide a utility for doing this. You will need to know what SCSI ID your
robot has been assigned (usually through the interface of the library). The
LUN will almost always be 0. So the only difficult piece is determining the
controller. This can be done using 'sysconfig -v' to determine how many
controllers you have and trying them (i.e. if you have 4 SCSI controllers,
you will try 0, 1, 2, 3 as the controller number)
set_ndmp_attr -robot ndmp-server-host robot-device scsi-controller
scsi-id scsi-lun
Once you have set this attribute you will test the robot with the tldtest
(if it is a DLT library) utility.
It is much easier to get this information from the NetApp engineers. They
should be able to tell you where your library is connected.
You can then verify communication with the filer using the following
command:
set_ndmp_attr -verify filer_name
Once all is working. Begin a backup.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Install of NDMP for NBU
I'm trying to get NDMP to work for a Network Appliance and I must say the
documentation is not very good (unless I'm missing something). Configuration
is as follows:
Master server is NBU NT with NBU for NDMP installed
Net APP has Overland 7210 robotic library direct attached.
Have been looking at Chapter 4 of the NDMP SysAdmin Guide (Configuring NBU
for NDMP on Windows NT) and we still have more questions than answers.
1. When configuring robotic control, we're using the instructions for
"Robotic Control Attaches to NDMP Host". Is the Device Name an arbitrary
name of our choosing or does it have to correlate back to something else?
We're assuming it is whatever we want to call. Also, finding the Controller
Number is giving me grief. Anyone got a slick way to do that better than
what the book shows.
2. In trying to test the robot (we're assuming the config is OK because we
don't see anything to indicate it's not)using the command tldtest -r
shadow:tld0 we get the following error:
ndmp_connect_open_and_auth failed, ndmp_result is -6
This message leads us to believe we can get to the robot from the NBU server
but are be failed by authentication. We executed the -auth command to create
a user. What else is there? We've got multiple users out there now,
according to the list. How do we delete the one we don't want.
Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. I hope this gets
easier in future releases. I don't see how it could get more difficult.
Regards,
Dennis
