Re: [Networker] NDMP or non-NDMP device?

If you look in Chapter 12 of the Unix admin Guide the docs for NDMP are
there. Look for "Storage Node Support for NDMP Client Backup" also known
as DSA. The key is the "-M" parameter to the nsrndmp_save command line.

First, I'd upgrade to 7.2.x. which is compatible with Solaris 9
Make sure that the NetApp is setup with Version 4 of NDMP:
  netapp-filer> ndmpd off
  netapp-filer> ndmpd version 4
  netapp-filer> ndmpd on
  netapp-filer> ndmpd version
  ndmpd higest version set to: 4

Then setup the client with remote user & password to the filer, set the
backup command to:
  nsrndmp_save -M -T dump

Set the application information to:
  HIST=Y
  UPDATE=Y
  DIRECT=Y
  EXTRACT_ACL=Y

Subject: [Networker] NDMP or non-NDMP device?

Scenario:
-Networker Server 7.1.3 for Solaris 9
-ADIC scalar 100 with 4 drives LTOII connectd via SCSI to NW Server
-SnapImage 1.6.1 as a Tape Server installed in same box of NW server
-A Files NetApp reachable via LAN - no tape drives connected.
-Ndmp client commection tier 2 installed and authorized

I want to backup the filer to the NW server with NDMP
Looks like a "Remote NDMP" backup scenario, isn't it?

Data should be sent via LAN from the filer to the tape Server
(SnapImage)
and then backed up to networker server's drives.
I passed thru the documentation several times but I still haven't
undesrstand if in such configuration my drives can be normal drives or
must
be set as NDMP drives.
In fact I haven't been able to complete any backup.
I received the error: "no matching devices, pools storage nodes" when
drives
were normal (no NDMP)

Any idea?
Thanks in advance
