urst41m - unload/reload device, format is: LTO-2(ro)/3 4/800GB cmp

rst41h - rewind device, format is: LTO-4 800GB

nrst41h - no rewind device, format is: LTO-4 800GB

urst41h - unload/reload device, format is: LTO-4 800GB

rst41a - rewind device, format is: LTO-4 1600GB cmp

nrst41a - no rewind device, format is: LTO-4 1600GB cmp

urst41a - unload/reload device, format is: LTO-4 1600GB cmp

You can now verify the device file for the DMA (NDMP client) configuration. It is advisable to choose

a no rewind device such as nrst41a or nrst41h.

Enabling NDMP services on the NDMP host/server

To enable NDMP services on the NDMP host/server issue the following command:

tcp008> ndmpd on

Note: The NDMP listener is on port 10000

Creating an NDMP password

To create a NDMP user password to be used in the DMA (NDMP client) configuration, issue the

following command:

tcp008> ndmpd password username

This will create a NDMP user password similar to the following:

tpc008> ndmpd password Administrator

password ZVC5D0JUOJUw0BhV

Cut and paste the generated password into your “Import Client” task used on the DMA.

NDMP Client and DMA

The following is an overview of the steps required to set up the NDMP backup environment from a

Data Protector perspective:

1. Push the NDMP Media Agent component to the designated NDMP client.

2. Import the NDMP host/server.

3. Create a dedicated NDMP media pool.

4. Create a backup library configuration.

5. Scan the library slots.

6. Format the media in the NDMP media pool.

The following describes these steps in detail:

1. Push the NDMP Media Agent component to the NDMP client.

You can install and upgrade Data Protector clients remotely by distributing the software using the

Installation Server.

Note: The NDMP client can be any client in the cell as long as the NDMP Media Agent is

supported on the OP/Sys platform this client runs on. Even though the installation process reports

that the standard media agent has been removed, it will still be listed on the client‟s component list

because the NDMP media agent provides the same functionality plus NDMP backup/restore

functionality. Hence the NDMP media agent fulfills the legacy role of that client too.
