If you're trying to dedicate a drive,
you won't need to change the NDMP credentials if this is on an NDMP host
that's already configured.
You'll also have to configure the drive
on the device itself (FC, direct SCSI) and I think the syntax is <NDMPhostname>:drivepath.
The drivepath is whatever it is on the NDMP host. You can get this from
Netbackup if you do a set_ndmp_attr -probe (I think that's the right command).
I think you could try using the Device
Config Wizard, I know it works in 5.1 and later for this.
Have you taken a look at the NDMP guide?

| Re: [Veritas-bu] Configuring additional
drive for NDMP backups NBU 5.0 |
|
Hi Ed
Yes I know .. the upgrade will need to wait a little longer.
I'm not trying to share the drive between normal backups
and NDMP backups.
The drive attached to the NAS is doing backups now. I
want to split the volumes into separate policies
because of the size of the volumes and configure
another drive to backup the other volumes.
How can I configure the 2nd drive to run NDMP backups
for the policy created for the other volumes?
I thought there is a way I can change the drive path using
tpconfig to backup the nas.
Will I need to authenticate the Master server with the
filer to use this 2nd drive which is directly attached to the Master (1st
drive attached directly to the nas)?
Goal - 2 drives backing up multiple NDMP policies
I know the upgrade is needed but that is out of my control
at the moment. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Todd

One of the locations I work with is using NBU 5.0 MP7

There are 4 drives

I want to dedicate two drives to the backing up the NAS.
1 drive is direct attached to the NAS and is configured
properly and works.
The additional drive is connected to the Master Server.
I am trying to configure this drive attahced to the Master
as a secondary drive for NDMP backups.
Are you trying to share the same drive between NetBackup and NDMP?
In 5.0, you can't - the drive must be 100% available for NetBackup backups
or 100% NDMP. Starting with 6.5 (I don't think it made it into 6.0
but definitely wasn't in 5.x), you can share a drive between the 2 environments.
5.0 is totally unsupported by Symantec. It's time for an upgrade...
