Hi All,
My reply is unrelated to the error code you mentioned but touches on the
network architecture the firewall needs to be aware off during NDMP
operations.
NDMP is similar to FTP where the data and control channels are separate.
This is particularly true in a 3-way configuration.
Port 10000 is used by the DMA (NBU) to communicate with both the Tape
server (Mover) and the Data server (Filer) and this is also the port
used with
set_ndmp_attr -verify. The data channel is established directly between the
tape server and the data server mediated by the DMA. The data channel port is
allocated dynamically and needs to be identified by the firewall during the
actually backup/restore to allow the data stream to pass through.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 5.1 disk caching
Upgrading to NBU 5.1 on Windows 2000 and plan to implement disk caching storage
units utilizing EMC
CX600 and CX700 ATA storage. I have been advised by Veritas that I should
configure the ATA storage
using diskpar, a windows 2000 resource kit utility, to configure the LUN
partitions to begin on byte
boundaries that are divisible by 64 KB. There is a white paper by EMC that
describes this process
and the benefits in detail
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.emc.com/pdf/techlib/H959_clariion_bu_stor_ms_exch_snapview_ldv.pdf";>http://www.emc.com/pdf/techlib/H959_clariion_bu_stor_ms_exch_snapview_ldv.pdf</a>.
(see page 18) I
have configured my ATA LUNS according to the EMC recommendations and find that
I cannot upgrade the
LUNS to dynamic disks. I would like to use dynamic disks so I could span
volumes and create larger
ATA disk storage units. Has anyone else run into this issue? Also looking
for feedback on NBU5.1
and any issues w/ backup to disk and the disk caching units in general.
