Re: [Veritas-bu] NMDP backups on EMC Celerra Netbackup 6.5.3

You also need to ensure that the filer can resolve your backup server, and if I recall correctly, NDMP control traffic goes over ports 10000 and 10001 so these need to be open.

You need to check to see if server_2 is available in DNS and is fully resolvable from your netbackup server. Server_2 on the Celerra usually refers to the data mover you are running on. Netbackup doesn't care which datamover you run on, just the interface into that datamover. In my old environment, we used a name an alias of ns700a-2 and pointing that to the datamover's network interface. Also, make sure that you have setup the NDMP connection from your Windows 2003 server using the set_ndmp_attr command. This is the command sets the NDMP filer and user name and password for NDMP (which should be setup on the Celerra). EMC has this documented in it either the Celerra Administration guide or there is a powerlink article for Backups for Celerra. I cannot remember off of the top of my head, but I do know they exist. We had the same problems, and the documentation is not that great in fixing the connection problems, but I think that will help. Hopefully that helps.

I am running ndmp backups using netbackup 6.5 Windows server 64bit R2 2003 on a EMC Celerra NAS. I cannot create ndmp tape drives on the netbackup admin console. So at the moment my configuration is running over the Ethernet network and is causing issues. I need help!!! When I try to add a tape drive in the admin console I get an error 16, unable to verify host. The host is registered on the netbackup server (server_2). I have verified the device file name is accurate c1202020 ish. Anyone with some insight please respond. I appreciate your help. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by jonathanpbryant AT hotmail DOT com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to abuse AT backupcentral DOT com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this electronic transmission is confidential and may be legally privileged.
