2 2 NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information Symantec Corporation NAS appliance versions 12/9/13 NAS appliance versions For a document listing the features and software releases for each NAS vendor, and for the NetBackup versions that support these vendors, refer to either of the following, available at For NetBackup 7.x: For NetBackup 6.5: For versions of NetBackup up to and including 6.0: Authorizing NetBackup access to the NDMP host Use the tpconfig and tpautoconf commands as described under Example Configuration Sequence in each of the following sections of this document for particular NDMP hosts. For NAS hosts that support Direct Access Recovery (DAR), NetBackup enables DAR by default. Note on file restore to a different location When restoring files from NetBackup backups of NAS filers that use older versions of the NDMP protocol (V2 and V3), the destination path for the restore must end with the original folder and file name, even if you are restoring the files to a different location. (This restriction does not apply to NAS filers that use the NDMP protocol V4.) If the original backup path was /vol/vol1/mydir/myfile, the destination path for restore to a different location must end with /mydir/myfile. Otherwise, NetBackup appends /mydir/myfile to the end of the destination path. For example, to restore /vol/vol1/mydir/myfile to a folder under /vol/vol2/, specify /vol/vol2/mydir/myfile as the destination. For NAS filers that use NDMP V4, you can specify a different subfolder or file name. For example, /vol/vol1/mydir/myfile can be restored to /vol/vol2/mydir2/myfile_restored. For any restrictions unique to a particular NAS filer, see the appropriate section in this document for your filer.

10 10 NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information Symantec Corporation EMC Centera with Centera Backup and Recovery Module (CBRM) 12/9/13 EMC Centera with Centera Backup and Recovery Module (CBRM) Known restrictions This information is provided to help you use NetBackup for NDMP with an EMC CBRM system. This information is intended as a supplement to the NetBackup for NDMP Administrator s Guide. For more information on your Centera and the CBRM, refer to the following documentation or contact EMC Corporation: EMC CBRM logs EMC CBRM Installation and Administrator s Guide Backup and restore times on the CBRM running with NetBackup are noticeably longer than expected. EMC is working to resolve this issue. The CBRM is currently limited to single-threaded backups and restores. EMC is working to resolve this issue. The CBRM cannot run on the same NetBackup master server where NetBackup for NDMP is running, because both NetBackup Remote NDMP and CBRM utilize the same port for internal communication. The CBRM does not allow redirected restores to an alternate path. If you attempt to restore to an alternate path (or to an invalid path), the CBRM restores the data to the original path. The CBRM does not allow cross platform restores. For example, if the backup was made by means of a CBRM installed on Windows, the backup cannot be restored using a CBRM installed on Solaris. The CBRM supports full backups (Level=0) and cumulative/incremental backups (Level=1) only. Changing the CBRM.res profile file while a backup is running may cause the backup job to hang or fail. The CBRM currently does not support local NDMP. The CBRM BEGIN_DATE and END_DATE in the.res profile are automatically deleted when the current backup job is completed. There are two kinds of EMC CBRM logs to examine: SDK logs and NDMP logs.

11 Symantec Corporation NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information 12/9/13 EMC Centera with Centera Backup and Recovery Module (CBRM) 11 To capture SDK logs: Set the FPLIBRARY_LOG_FILE_DEBUG and export environment parameters on the CBRM host, as follows. UNIX For example, on a Solaris CBRM machine: setenv FPLIBRARY_LOG_FILE_DEBUG /temp/mylog.log setenv export FPLIBRARY_LOG_FILE_DEBUG Windows Use the Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Environment Variables, System Variables area. Enter the following two system variables: Click New. For Variable Name, enter FPLIBRARY_LOG_FILE_DEBUG For Variable Value, enter the location of the log file, such as C:\temp\mylog.log Click New. For Variable Name, enter export For Variable Value, enter /xpd To capture NDMP logs: 1 Set the NDMPD_XARGS environment parameter on the CBRM host, as follows. UNIX For example, on a Solaris CBRM machine, add the following (all on one line) to the end of the inetd.conf file: ndmp stream tcp nowait root /usr/emc_cbrm/bin/ndmpd ndmpd -l -xpd Windows Open the Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Environment Variables, System Variables area to enter the NDMPD_XARGS system variable. Click New. For Variable Name, enter NDMPD_XARGS For Variable Value, enter /xpd 2 Set CENTERA_DEBUG=4 in the.res profile on the CBRM host. 3 For the changes to take effect, restart the NDMP services on the CBRM host. Tips for control and configuration To view the roles, software version, and state of each Centera node, log in to the Centera by means of the Centera Viewer and select Commands > Diagnostics. The Node Summary lists the roles, software version, and state of each node. For additional information on the EMC CBRM, refer to the EMC CBRM Installation and Administrator's Guide.

Note: Make sure to include the IP address of the EMC Centera host in the CBRM.res profile: Centera_IP=xxx.xx.xx.xxx

13 Symantec Corporation NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information 12/9/13 Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) 13 Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) Known restrictions This information is provided to help you use NetBackup for NDMP with the Hitachi Data Systems Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) system. It is intended as a supplement to the NetBackup for NDMP Administrator's Guide. For further details on the HCP system, please contact Hitachi Data Systems. The HCP supports remote NDMP backups, but does not support local or 3-way NDMP backups. NDMP backup types are described in the NetBackup for NDMP Administrator's Guide. The HCP supports the openpgp data format for backups. Use the set TYPE=openPGP environment variable in the file list. The HCP is primarily a Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) appliance, and as such does not support directly modifying or overwriting files in storage. Before you start a restore, you must ensure that the files requested for restore do not already exist in the destination. As the HCP is itself a backup device, an NDMP backup of the HCP is intended for archival purposes, that is, off site storage. The HCP does not support snapshots, so files that are open while stored on the HCP (such as files being copied through NFS/CIFS) are skipped during a backup, and their existence is not reported to NetBackup. NetBackup is unable to restore files that aren't backed up, so take care to ensure that NDMP backups taken through NetBackup contain the requested data. NDMP backups performed on the HCP do not store file permission information, and files that are restored to the HCP are stored with default permissions assigned by HCP. A file is restored to the HCP, and it is the end-user's responsibility to retrieve those files using the applications integrated to HCP. NDMP access is not enabled by default on the HCP. It is necessary to configure a default namespace, then enable NDMP. Refer to the documentation provided with the HCP system for information on how to configure the default namespace.
