NDMP configuration

Basis setup steps:

1. Define libraries.2. Define device class and storage pool in connect to define libraries from

above.3. Configuring IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Policy for NDMP operations.4. Registering NAS Nodes with the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server.5. Defining a data mover for the NAS File Server.6. Define drives.7. Defining tape drives and paths for NDMP operations.8. Labeling tapes and checking tapes into the library.

Define library:Define library NDMPLIB libtype=SCSI

Define device class:Define devclass nasclass devtype=NAS library=NDMPLIB mountretention=0estcapacity=400G

Configure policy rules for NDMP node:Def stg NDMP-TAPE nasclass maxscratch=9999 dataformat=netappdumpDefine stgp toc-disk diskDef vol toc-disk volume_name

Define stgp toc-copies 9940 maxscratch=9999 reuse=10 pooltype=copyDefine dom NDMPDefine pol NDMP NDMPDefine mgmt NDMP NDMP NDMPDefine copygroup NDMP NDMP NDMP destination=NDMP-TAPE tocdestination=toc-disk verexists=65 verdeleted=3 retextra=65 retonly=65Assign defmgmt NDMP NDMP NDMPValidate pol NDMP NDMP NDMPActivate pol NDMP NDMP NDMP

Register Node on TSM server:Register node NDMP-NODE password dom=NDMP type=NAS

Define DATAMOVER: Imp step

Login into netapp system manager find the required nas file server likeWBLONDONNASDM2From the left hand pane expand the WBLONDONNASDM2 nas file server/datamover. Here find configuration under the datamover tree expansion. Expand

the configuration from here find Network and expand the network, find hereInterfaces from here find the IPADDRESS of datamover like 10.135.102.59.

From the above details we can define datamover on TSM server(NAS node name and datamover name should be same, else it will throw the errorwhen the backup is triggered)

Define datamover WBLONDONNASDM2 type=nas hladdress=10.135.102.59lladdress=10000 userid=ndmp password=dataformat=netappdump

*HLA is ip address of NAS file server, LLA is the IP port default is 10000*Userid and password is authorized an NDMP session w/ NAS file server(usually same as lab SVT id and pass)*Dataformat must match with data format of the stgpool defined above

To identify the device address for library and drives on NAS file server:

Login into NAS file server/datamover run the command like sysconfig m

(m: means medium changer)

OUTPUT:

To check the WWN number for Medium changer

Define path for Datamover:

6 | P a g e


7/12

Define path nasnode (WBLONDONNASDM2) NDMPLIB srct=datamover

destt=library devi=mc0

Define drives:

Define drive NDMPLIB nasdr1 element=element_number

Define path for Data Mover to all drives:

Define path nasnode nasdr1 srctype=datamover destt=drive librar=NDMPLIB

Devi=rst0l

To identify the device address for library and drives on NAS file server

Sysconfig t display list of drives:

storage show tape displays list of tape drives serial numbers

Label and checkin Tape Volumes into the Library

Once the configuration is done check from TSM server end to avoid NDMP backup

failures:

1. Datamover name and nas node name should be same

2. Q datamover datamovername f=d and q stg nasstg f=d , to check the data

format allowed. It should be same on both.

3. Check the lla port address for datamover and NDMP control port number from

TSM server side.

sysconfig a command to display the device hierarchy, to determine that what isthe adapter that is giving the tape access.

OUTPUT:

Check the NDMP status is active or not: to check run the NDMP STATUS command

If not active then run NDMP ON command to change the status to active.

If we have vfiler, the NDMP support is provided by vfiler0, so no need to activate thendmp at vfiler level. So check VFILER STATUS, it will display us available vfilers.

Show us likeVfiler0 runningVfiler1 running

To check what are the volumes defined on vfiler:Vfiler status -a

Vfiler0 output:

Vfiler1 output:

If any new volume is created/ or modified in Q-tree on vfiler or NAS server, concernteam will inform us.

Define virtual file space mapping syntax:

Def virtualfsmapping nasnodename virtual-fs-name file-system-name pathnametype=Example:

To schedule the nas backup:

Define admin schedule like below

If want to edit new volumes to existing nas node then add the newly created nasvolume to existing script with update script command.
