AFAIK any NAS box that supports NDMP can be backed up to TSM via TCP/IP and ends up in the regular storage pool hierarchy, i.e. disk is fine.
But I don't know that the NDMP protocol knows how to do a non-tape fibre connection, any more than TSM does. Do you have any documentation on how that would work from the NDMP end?

Hi All. i'm trying to determine if it's possible to setup a HNAS (Hitachi) 3080 NDMP backup to TSM Server 6.3.4.0/RHEL 6.4. we don't have any tape in our environment, virtual or otherwise, we're disk only. the SAN admin can create a FC connection between the TSM server and the HNAS if it can be used for lan free backups. i'm assuming these steps on the TSM server (excluding setting up policy domain, copy group, storage pools, and etc): register node type=nas. define datamover type=nas define virtualfsmapping i don't know if this is possible without some type of library and if so how does TSM negotiate the FC path? if someone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks. john underdown
