Rongsheng,


I can't give yo much details on NDMP SSO configuration option as this is 
new in 6.0 and I am still on 5.1
I do not think there is much difference though - when doing tpconfig to 
create a device on media server, you'd just add "-share yes" option.

For what it's worth, here are some generic NDMP ramblings I can share with 
you.

You'll need the NetBackup for NDMP option installed with the license and 
mostlikely the same on EMC sides.
If drives already zoned and Celera can see them - you practically all set 
.... jsut few configuration commands to run :-)

Celera see the drive and start dumping to it when it's told to.
Media and master servers get the devices ( tpconfig ) and  STU configured 
( bpstu[list|add|rep|del] ) with drives connected to NDMP host ( 
ndmphost:nrst#a in my NetApp case ).

Master, media , robot control  ( could be all on the same machine ) 
servers will do the scheduling and the media management ( pick, mount, 
unmount, etc. ) NBU will give a goahead to Celera to do the SCSI 
Reserve/Release and to start dumping to the specified NDMP drive[s].


Would be nice if you could post the summary if you'll decide to go with 
this.


Regards

[Veritas-bu] NDMP and SSO in NetBackup 6.0






Hi,

We have some Celerra NAS devices on the network (and SAN) and would like 
to  use NDMP to back up those devices. We have a tape library with six 
tape drives in the SAN. Is it possible to configure the Celerra NAS 
devices to mount the tape drives from the SAN with NetBackup SSO option? 
Or we have to mount the tape drive on one of the NetBackup media servers 
and do three-way or remote NDMP backup? I read through the NetBackup for 
NDMP SA's guide but still not clear on how SSO works with NDMP. Can 
somebody kindly explain to me how SSO works with NDMP?

Thanks much,

Rongsheng
