The devices on our Celerra look like this:
c32t0l0
Notice the L in the middle of the zeros?
The short story:
1. Zone the Celerra to the tape drive(s).
2. through the magic of Celerra commands discover the tape drives and note 
their names.
        a. server_devconfig server_2 -create -scsi -nondisks
        b. server_devconfig server_2 -probe -scsi -nondisks
        c. server_devconfig server_2 -list -scsi -nondisks
3. Using one of the previously mentioned IBM docs setup and create the NAS 
devices and pools.

We run 16TB to two 3592's and run 36 hours.  You did not say what reasonable 
was.

Hi, folks.

I'm in the happy state of needing to attempt some NDMP backups.
Remember that 12TB FS conversation we had a while back?  Well boy
howdy, someone has just presented me with one.  We're failing to
complete backups in any reasonable timeframe.

I intend to continue experimenting with The Right Way, but I need a
stopgap, and it looks like NDMP is it.


But I'm having difficulty deciphering some of the instructions: they
talk about telling the DataMover the controller, ID, and lun.  I may
be dense, but I'm accustomed to using rmt devices or WWNs.

Anybody got a pointer to the Fine Manual ?  The logs of this list
include a tantalizing reference to success after "reading between the
lines a little bit"; but I was unable to find anything concrete.


I'm on  Version 5, Release 5, Level 3.0 of TSM, in case it matters.
