dsmc backup script waits for credentials

[TitusBandugula05011988]

Hello All,

I've configured a backup script on my client to start backup for NAS node {since we have 100+ filesystems and will be excluding some of them from the dsm.opt file}. However, when I run the below script the command waits for me to enter the credentials even though 'PASSWORDACCESS is set to GENERATE'.

dsmc backup nas -nasnodename=BDC-NETAPP-CLU1 -toc=yes -mode=differential

P.S : When I run dsmc it automatically logs-in to the node without prompting for credentials.

From your Q sys output you don't have any datamovers defined.

This link details the configuration steps for ndmp backups:

Hello Ches,

I've already defined the datamovers. Please note that the 'dsmc backup nas' command works. The only problem is it waits for authentication. I want a schedule to run 'dsmc backup nas -nasnodename=BDC-NETAPP-CLU1 -toc=yes -mode=differential' command without waiting for me to provide any login details.

Oh, it's a cluster. Have you tried setting the credentials through set password?

dsmc set password –type=filer management_filer_hostname
management_filer_username management_filer_password

dsmc set password –type=filer management_filer_hostname

Even though I've set the password for the nasnode the command '
dsmc backup nas -nasnodename=BDC-NETAPP-CLU1 -toc=yes -mode=dif
ferential' waits until I provide credentials for the node. I want to use the 'dsmc' command in a schedule to run daily incremental backups.
