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 http://www.symantec.com: For NetBackup 7.x: http://www.symantec.com/docs/tech76495 For NetBackup 6.5: http://www.symantec.com/docs/tech48687 For versions of NetBackup up to and including 6.0: http://www.symantec.com/docs/tech22688 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 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.
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.

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.

For example, if a backup job is currently backing up /export/sxfs/vol1, another attempt to back up or restore /export/sxfs/vol1 at the same time will fail. A second backup of the same file system could fail if started too soon after the first backup of that file system. This is because a backup job needs time to delete the snapshot after completion of the backup. Until the snapshot is deleted, the second backup of the same file system cannot start. The same is true for restores: a restore of a file system could fail if started too soon after a previous restore of that file system. Sign in to the NEC istorage NV Series through a telnet session and add the following lines to the /etc/sysconfig/ndmpd file: LOGFILE=/var/dumpfile/ndmpd DEBUG=yes LEVEL=65535 Debug logs are located in the /var/dumpfile/ndmpd directory. Tips for control and configuration Use a browser to sign in to the NEC istorage Manager IP interface to do the following: Monitor system status.

Tips for robot and media discovery Robot To find the robot device name, use the telnet command to log in to the NEC istorage and enter the following: dmesg grep scsi generic Example output: Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 8 The robot device is /dev/sg0. Drives To find the tape device names, use the telnet command to log in to the NEC istorage and enter the following: dmesg grep scsi tape Example output: Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Attached scsi tape st1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 The tape device names, to be entered on the Add Drive display in the NetBackup Administration Console, are /dev/nst0 for tape drive 1 and /dev/nst1 for tape drive 2. Always use the drive names that begin with n because these are the non-rewinding devices. Other The following directive must be placed at the start of the NetBackup policy s Backup Selections tab (file list): set XFS=yes This directive must be specified for all NetBackup backups of the NEC istorage NV Series, otherwise the backup will fail. Note that the set XFS=yes directive must be specified for both XFS and XFSFW file systems.
26 NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information Symantec Corporation NetApp 12/9/13 NetApp This information is provided to help you use NetBackup for NDMP with a NetApp Network Attached Storage (NAS) filer. It is intended as a supplement to the NetBackup for NDMP Administrator s Guide. For further details, refer to the following documentation or contact NetApp. Data ONTAP Command Reference Guide Data ONTAP System Administrator's Guide Known restrictions The user name used with the tpconfig command must be defined as root for each data mover. When restoring files, if the NetApp filer does not use Direct Access Recovery (DAR), the destination path that you specify for the restore must end with the original folder and file name. If the original backup path was /vol/vol1/mydir/myfile, the destination path for the restore must end with /mydir/myfile. Otherwise, NetBackup appends /mydir/myfile to the end of the destination path. For more details on DAR, and to determine whether DAR has been disabled in NetBackup, refer to the NetBackup for NDMP Administrator's Guide. NetApp logs The logs on the NetApp filer must be viewed through an NFS or CIFS mount point. On the NetApp filer, general messages appear in /etc/messages. Tips for control and configuration For NDMP devices to share tape drives, tape reservation must be enabled in the ONTAP software on the filer and on NetBackup. You can use either SCSI persistent reservation or SCSI reservation. If you want to share tape drives, note that the drive itself must support one of these types of reservation. To enable SCSI reservation in Data ONTAP, enter either of the following at the ONTAP command line on the filer: options tape.reservations scsi options tape.reservations persistent To enable SCSI reservation in the NetBackup Administration Console, go to Host Properties > Media Servers > double-click the media server> Properties > Media. Ensure that you select the same type of SCSI reservation as you set on the filer.
Symantec Corporation NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information 12/9/13 NetApp 27 In ONTAP 8.0, both ONTAP 7 mode and ONTAP 10 mode are combined into a single release. You cannot run both modes on the same filer concurrently. The NDMP service is controlled by means of the Data ONTAP administrative interface or the following commands: ndmpd on (Starts the NDMP service) ndmpd off (Stops the NDMP service) ndmpd status (Displays the status of the NDMP service including any active NDMP sessions) ndmpd probe session-number (Displays details about the specified session) By default, the NDMP service is not started at boot time. To start it, add the following line to the end of the /etc/rc file on the NetApp system: ndmpd on To determine the number of objects in a volume, enter the following: maxfiles Tips for robot and drive discovery The NetApp administrative interface can be used to list the attached tape drives and robotic devices. Robot To display the robot device file, sign on to the NetApp host and enter the following command: sysconfig -m The names are of the format mcn, where N is 0 or higher. For example: Medium changer (6a.4) HP C6280-7000 mc0 - medium changer device Media devices To display tape device files, enter the following command: sysconfig -t Always use the drive names that begin with nr (such as nrst0a) because these are the non-rewinding devices. Example sysconfig output: Tape drive (6a.5) Quantum DLT7000 rst0l - rewind device, format is: 81633 bpi 40 GB (w/comp) nrst0l - no rewind device, format is: 81633 bpi 40 GB (w/comp)

This happens when the device is still UP and the NetBackup automatic-volume-recognition daemon (avrd) polls it. The following notes apply to using NetBackup with the Data ONTAP 8.0 Image Backup feature (formerly referred to as SnapMirror to Tape or SMTape). Image Backup is a Data ONTAP 8.0 feature that backs up an entire volume as a single file. In versions of Data ONTAP prior to 8.0, the feature was called SMTape, and it required the customer to obtain a Product Variance Request from NetApp. Note: Because Image Backup backs up an entire volume as though it is a single file, only the entire volume can be restored, not individual files within that volume. To enable Image Backup, enter the following environment variables in the Backup Selections tab (file list) of the NetBackup policy: SET type = smtape SET SMTAPE_DELETE_SNAPSHOT = Y /volume_to_back_up More explanation of the variables follows: SET type = smtape specifies the image backup feature. SET SMTAPE_DELETE_SNAPSHOT = Y deletes the snapshot after the backup completes. A snapshot is taken of the volume before the backup is written to tape. Deleting the snapshot saves storage space. /volume_to_back_up Specifies the volume you want backed up, such as /vol/vol1. This feature is not currently supported with NDMP backups from NetApp storage configured with NetBackup Replication Director.
Symantec Corporation NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information 12/9/13 NetApp 29 The following environment variables should be entered in the NetBackup policy's Backup Selections tab (file list): SET type = smtape SET SMTAPE_DELETE_SNAPSHOT = Y /volume_to_back_up SET type = smtape SET SMTAPE_DELETE_SNAPSHOT = Y /volume_to_back_up Specifies the image backup feature. Use this variable if you want the snapshot to be deleted after the backup completes. A snapshot is taken of the volume before the backup is written to tape. Deleting the snapshot saves storage space. Specifies the volume you want backed up, such as /vol/vol1. Using NetBackup with NetApp's Data ONTAP 8.2 cluster mode As part of their Data ONTAP 8.2 release, NetApp released an NDMP extension called Cluster Aware Backup (CAB). This feature allows you to back up a Vserver (virtual server) as an NDMP host (client) in a NetBackup policy. This behavior is the default in new installs of ONTAP 8.2. In environments where a cluster is upgraded from an older version of ONTAP, the behavior is to use node names as the NDMP host name. This behavior is configurable using the following ONTAP command: system services ndmp node-scope-mode [on off] The on option is the older behavior (using node names), and the off option is the new behavior. ONTAP 8.2 cluster mode (C-mode) allows volumes to be moved from one node to another node in a cluster. Moving of volumes performs non-disruptive operations, high availability (failover), and resource balancing. NetApp automatically moves volumes during a failover. However, moving volumes to another mode for maintenance or to provide load balancing would be performed by the NetApp storage administrator. NetBackup does not yet support the NDMP CAB extension, and there are three possible methods to use in configuring C-mode NDMP backup policies with NetBackup. Configuring cluster mode using Logical network InterFaces (LIF)s to enable node-scope-node Using LIFs in NetBackup for NDMP policies is the recommended method for configuring cluster node.
30 NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information Symantec Corporation NetApp 12/9/13 To configure cluster mode using LIFs 1 Set the NDMP password for user root on each node of the cluster, using the same password on each node: system services ndmp password 2 Detect and configure any locally-attached tape drives and libraries using the names of each node of the cluster. 3 Create LIFs for use in NetBackup NDMP policies on EACH node of the cluster. The role for the LIFs must be cluster-mgmt, which is part of the NetApp configuration. 4 Create NetBackup policies for the volumes that are to be backed up, using the LIF created in step 3 as the NDMP host name. The LIF and the volume to be backed up must reside on the same node. 5 If a volume moves to another node, you must manually migrate the LIF to the node that is now hosting the volume, using the following command: net int migrate -vserver <cluster_name> -lif <cluster-mgmt-lif> -dest-node <dest-node> -dest-port <dest-port> This command must be run by the NetApp storage administrator. However, it is not necessary to make any changes to the NetBackup policy, because the volume and NDMP host name still match. Configuring cluster mode using node names for each node to enable node-scope-node It is also possible, but not the recommended method, to configure cluster mode without using LIFs in NetBackup for NDMP policies. To configure cluster mode without LIFs 1 Set the NDMP password for user root on each node of the cluster, using the same password on each node: system services ndmp password 2 Detect and configure any locally-attached tape drives and libraries using the names of each node of the cluster. 3 Create NetBackup policies for the volumes that are to be backed up, using the node names for each node in the cluster as the NDMP host name in the NetBackup policy. 4 If a volume moves to a different node in the cluster, you must modify the NDMP host name in the NetBackup policy to that of the node now hosting the volume, using the following command: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplclients policy_name -rename old_host_name new_host_name
Symantec Corporation NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information 12/9/13 NetApp 31 This command requires the NetApp storage administrator to notify the backup administrator and the backup administrator to modify the policy; otherwise, the backup will fail. Configuring cluster mode using Vservers as NDMP hosts without node-scope-node enabled Another method for configuring cluster mode is to not enable node-scope-mode and to configure Vservers to be used as NDMP hosts. The backup jobs are always three-way NDMP backups, instead of local, which means that the data will go from one Vserver to another host before being sent to tape or disk. If a volume is requested from a node that does not host that volume, the backup job will fail. Because NetBackup has not yet implemented the CAB extension, the storage administrator must tell the backup administrator to modify the policy for the volume(s) moved to another node. The storage administrator will likely be aware of the failover and can also notify the backup administrator to modify policies related to the failover. If the backup is run and the policy has not been modified, the backup job will fail.

It is intended as a supplement to the NetBackup for NDMP Administrator's Guide. For further details, refer to the following documentation or contact NetApp. Data ONTAP 10.0 Administration Guide Known restrictions When restoring files, if the NetApp filer does not use DAR, the destination path that you specify for the restore must end with the original folder and file name. If the original backup path was /vol/vol1/mydir/myfile, the destination path for the restore must end with /mydir/myfile. Otherwise, NetBackup appends /mydir/myfile to the end of the destination path. For more details on DAR, and to determine whether DAR has been disabled in NetBackup, refer to the NetBackup for NDMP Administrator's Guide. NetApp logs The logs on the NetApp Data ONTAP GX filer must be viewed through a SSH session. NDMP logs are located in /mroot/log/ndmpd.log. Tips for control and configuration For NDMP devices to share tape drives, tape reservation must be enabled in the ONTAP software on the filer and on NetBackup. You can use either SCSI persistent reservation or SCSI reservation. If you want to share tape drives, note that the drive itself must support one of these types of reservation. To enable SCSI reservation in Data ONTAP, enter either of the following at the ONTAP command line on the filer: options tape.reservations scsi options tape.reservations persistent To enable SCSI reservation in the NetBackup Administration Console, go to Host Properties > Media Servers > double-click the media server> Properties > Media. Ensure that you select the same type of SCSI reservation as you set on the filer. In ONTAP 8.0, both ONTAP 7 mode and ONTAP 10 mode are combined into a single release. You cannot run both modes on the same filer concurrently. All volumes on the NetApp Data ONTAP GX filer are created within Virtual Servers.
Symantec Corporation NetBackup for NDMP: NAS appliance information 12/9/13 NetApp Data ONTAP GX 33 The path specified in the NetBackup policy s Backup Selections list must contain the Virtual Server. For example: /vs1/vol1 Tips for robot and drive discovery The NetApp Data ONTAP GX Web interface can be used to list the attached tape drives and robotic devices. Robot To display the robot device file, sign on to the NetApp host and go to SYSTEM > hardware > tape > library. The names are of the format: /robot/switchname~switch_port_number.target For example: /robot/brocade18~23.126 Media Devices The names are of the format: /tape/nr.switchname~switch_port_number.targetllun.a where Llun indicates the LUN. For example: /tape/nr.brocade18~23.126l2.a Other Image Backup is a Data ONTAP 8.0 feature (formerly referred to as SnapMirror to Tape, or smtape). This feature backs up a volume as a single file. Note: Only the entire volume can be restored; files within the volume cannot be restored individually. NetApp filers running Data ONTAP 7.0.1 or later support SnapMirror to Tape, which provided the same functionality as Image Backup but required approval through a NetApp Product Variance Request (PVR) form. For that reason, this functionality has not been included in previous NetBackup documentation.
