That should do it.
The Netapp should have a "tape" HBA in it.
I think you have to license the feature with NetApp.

Not sure, don't think so, but never attempted it.

Yes.

Don't need Vault, unless you want to use it for dupes, but you can just
use bpduplicate, if you don't have Vault.
You need to connect the drive to the filer's "tape" HBA, or connect both
to FC switch and zone appropriately.
Get the appropriate map file for the filer:
http://www.netapp.com/solutions/data_protection_devices.html
Drop the file on the filer and run "sysconfig -t" to discover/configure
the drive.
Run:
#> ndmpd on
On the filer console, then IMMEDIATELY put the same command in the rc
file, so that it ocmes up automatically after reboot.
Run:
$ set_NDMP_attr -auth filername username password
on the master to allow it to connect to the filer....you can use the
filer's root passwd, or you can configure an NDMP passwd in OnTap.
Run:
$ set_NDMP_attr -verify
..to determine you can connect to the filer
Run:
$ set_NDMP_attr -probe
...to get a listing of your configured drives.
Add a drive to Netbackup using filername:nrst#a appropriate for your
drive config..
Configure a STU on the master with the name of the NDMP host.
Note: I was running 5.0 Java GUI with no MPs and NDMP wasn't available
in the drop down.
Had to add the STU from the CLI, before I figured out it was the fault
of the GUI.
Once all that's done, you're pretty much ready to backup.
