Rongsheng,

We use nbu6mp4/sso/ndmp to back up celerra cifs servers. It is easier than with 
5.1 but works fine with one word of caution down below.

You need to zone the fibre so the celerra sees the drives. Setting up the 
library is specific to that box. Once all the fibre stuff is done you will need 
an sso licemse and a ndmp license. Once loaded you will go to media and device 
mgt/devices/ndmp hosts (this is the gui of course, (sorry all you died in the 
wool cmd line junkies) and add the name of the CIFS server you want to back up. 
After that use the Configure storage devices wizard to discover the paths via 
the ndmp option. This is way simplistic. It is well detailed in the 6.0 admin 
guides and those should be used. I followed them step by step and had no 
problems.

CAUTION: I have mentioned this about the Celerra before but will do so again. 
If you are running the 5.5 code on the Celerra when you do an interogation of 
the unit whether by gui or command line the process can get hung up. The 
Celerra instead of timing out will fail the datamover. If you don't pick up on 
the fact that the DM has failed and you run another interogation you might fail 
the 2nd datamover which makes for a lot of unhappy users. So when you do this 
have nasadmin up and stop what your doing if you get the first failure. EMC 
knows about this, we actually had their people on site, who promptly blew away 
our celerra database. They have not been back.

Subject: [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
