Richard,
   If you mean performing NDMP dumps via ethernet to a TSM server it is
relatively simple.
--------------------
If you desire a non-root user on the NetApp to run backups otherwise
just enable NDMP and use the root user account on the NetApp.
On the NetApp
Create a backup user
Generate an NDMP password for this user "ndmpd password mybackupuser"
Enable NDMP

---------------------
On the TSM server
Define a TOC_destination when you define the copygroup separate from
where the data will go.

Register the NetApp as a node type=NAS password = <Generated_password>
Define the datamover  type=NAS dataformat=netappdump userid=mybackupuser
password=<generated_password>
If you want to backup specific snapshots -
- Define virtualfilesystems def virtualfsmap <filer> /virtual_name
/vol/volume /.snapshot/snapshotID

Backup data "backup node <filer> /virtual_name

-----------------------
If you are going through a firewall, you will probably want to restrict
which ports are used to a smaller range.
In dsmserv.opt - NDMPPortRange <low_port>, <high_port>
And restart the TSM server.

Subject: [ADSM-L] NetApp as direct client

Hi All,



Has anyone exprience in using a NetApp as a direct attached client in
TSM. I know this is possible since 5.4/5.5, but I can't find any good
documentation on it.

Does someone have some implementation guidelines or knows where to find
a manual/redbook/field guide?



Met vriendelijke groet, with kind regards,
