Ok... Just a point of clarification here...

I was under the assumption that if I had 4 fiber drives in library
shared with 2 media servers via SSO that I could also share one of those
drives with an NDMP NAS, namely a Sun StorEdge 5320.  Is this not the
case?

Just to clarify, when it comes NDMP backup time I want the Sun StorEdge
to allocate one of the SSO drives and write its data to it while sending
metadata to one of the media servers.  Is that not gonna happen?

Rongsheng,

NDPM and SSO works very similar to normal SSO with NetBackup. 

What I would do is configure the Windows and UNIX hosts to share the
drives first, then configure access to the NDMP Host (Celerra NAS), then
finally modify the drives to include the NDMP path to the drives. 

You can then set up an NDMP storage Unit, and start backing up.

However I feel the need to advise you that not all versions of all
filers are compatible with SSO, this is mainly due the way reserve and
release are handled in some versions of some manufacturers Filer OS.
Please check the support.veritas.com web site, compatibility list for
NDMP to verify that your Filers OS is compatible.

Thank you,
Mike Heck
