I recently set up NDMP based backups for my NetApp devices using the Filer-to-Server method. While this method is working and is quite clean, many of my NDMP backups are in the multiple TB range, and I would like to use a Filer-to-Library method.
I have the NetApp zoned to the library, and it can see several tape drives.
If I define the Nodes/Datamover/Storagepools etc on a Library Client (We use a central shared library manager), how do I define the paths on the library manager?
Basically the problem I am running into is that if I attempt to define a server/path on the library manager (much as I do for a Lan-Free StorageAgent backup) the library manager will not allow me to define a path with a sourch type of datamover unless the datamover/node are defined on the library manager instance.
Is there a way around this, or does the entire NDMP config need to live on the library manager? We have no other nodes/domains/storage pools on the LM so it would not be ideal.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I would also be interested in any other NetApp/N-Series NDMP tips anyone might have.
