Hi, folks.

I'm in the happy state of needing to attempt some NDMP backups.
Remember that 12TB FS conversation we had a while back?  Well boy
howdy, someone has just presented me with one.  We're failing to
complete backups in any reasonable timeframe.

I intend to continue experimenting with The Right Way, but I need a
stopgap, and it looks like NDMP is it.


But I'm having difficulty deciphering some of the instructions: they
talk about telling the DataMover the controller, ID, and lun.  I may
be dense, but I'm accustomed to using rmt devices or WWNs.

Anybody got a pointer to the Fine Manual ?  The logs of this list
include a tantalizing reference to success after "reading between the
lines a little bit"; but I was unable to find anything concrete.


I'm on  Version 5, Release 5, Level 3.0 of TSM, in case it matters.
