NDMP backup

Preparation and prerequisites

StoreOnce Backup System (secondary storage)

1. Set up the StoreOnce system and create at least one virtual tape library with the appropriate

number of tape drives. Select the desired tape emulation and number of tape slots. Make sure the

library is mapped to an available Fibre Channel port.

2. Connect the configured library to your SAN segment.

SAN router

1. Create an Alias for each WWN (secondary storage: StoreOnce backup device, primary storage:

NAS appliance).

2. Create a zone and include the Aliases.

3. Enable the zone.

NAS appliance (primary storage)

1. Set up the HP X9000/NetApp FAS3070 system and create at least one file system. Apply LTU

were applicable.

2. Connect the NAS appliance to your SAN segment (via FC).

3. Detect the newly attached tape library/device.

4. Configure DSP (NDMP) on the NAS appliance.

Data Management Application (DMA) and NDMP client

1. Set up a Data Protector 6.2 Cell Manager.

2. Install an NDMP Media Agent, which promotes the Cell Manager to an NDMP client.

Note: The NDMP media agent can be installed on any client within the cell with a supported

operating system. Always consult the latest support matrix for the components used to find any

potential incompatibilities.
