Hi Nick,
We used to perform our Celerra backups this way (although to the server,
not SN).
>From memory, you will need to run jbconfig, and configure all/some of
your tape drives to also be NDMP devices. You will also need the Celerra
ndmp username and password handy.
We have since changed the backup method to over the network, as we had
lots of problems with drive contention between the NDMP and normal
NetWorker backups. Have been relatively happy with this solution.
I am not sure about splitting the load between ports. I would assume
not, unless you manages to run seperate savesets/groups, and somehow
target specific tape drives, that were configured on seperate ports.
Dont know if this is a feasible option or not, have never looked into
it.

Subject: Re: [Networker] Backing up Celerra with NDMP to SAN attached
tape
Hello,
Is anyone backing up a Celerra NAS using NDMP over a SAN to a tape drive
in a jukebox controlled by a SN?
Looking through some Celerra documentation, it suggests that
configuration is possible. I'm guessing a JBconfig would need to be run
and one drive in the jukebox configured as an NDMP drive?
Also, apparently Celerra can support four concurrent backup/restore
sessions. If an NDMP tape drive was configured against each of the
active ports (if that's possible) would it be possible for the backup
sessions to be split two out of each active port?
Thanks
