According to the NDMP spec you can have a separate Data and tape server, what I was looking for was a way that the netapp could be the NDMP tape server with locally attached tapes and another server be the NDMP Data server with TSM keeping track of the meta data.

This is called a Three-Way Configuration in the NDMPv4 Protocol
"2.2.4. Three-Way Configuration
One may back up an NDMP Server that supports NDMP but does not have a locally attached backup device by sending the data through a TCP/IP connection to another NDMP Server. In this configuration, the NDMP data service exists on one NDMP Server and the NDMP tape service exists on a separate server. Both the NDMP control connections (to server 1 and server 2 and the NDMP data connection (between server 1 and server 2 exist across the network boundary."

According to infocenter "Tivoli Storage Manager supports NDMP Version 4 for all NDMP operations."

Thanks anyway

Hi Grant,
What do you mean?
You can backup a NetApp direct to Tape but still keep track in TSM.

Hi

I just want to confirm, my research....

Can you have the NDMP Data Server on a Windows server backing up to a the Tape 
server on a Netapp using TSM?

I know a Netapp can be a DATA and TAPE server in one but according to the NDMP 
Definitions you should be able to separate them.

Thanks

Grant
