Rongsheng, We use nbu6mp4/sso/ndmp to back up celerra cifs servers. It is easier than with 5.1 but works fine with one word of caution down below.
You need to zone the fibre so the celerra sees the drives. Setting up the library is specific to that box. Once all the fibre stuff is done you will need an sso licemse and a ndmp license. Once loaded you will go to media and device mgt/devices/ndmp hosts (this is the gui of course, (sorry all you died in the wool cmd line junkies) and add the name of the CIFS server you want to back up. After that use the Configure storage devices wizard to discover the paths via the ndmp option. This is way simplistic. It is well detailed in the 6.0 admin guides and those should be used. I followed them step by step and had no problems. CAUTION: I have mentioned this about the Celerra before but will do so again. If you are running the 5.5 code on the Celerra when you do an interogation of the unit whether by gui or command line the process can get hung up. The Celerra instead of timing out will fail the datamover. If you don't pick up on the fact that the DM has failed and you run another interogation you might fail the 2nd datamover which makes for a lot of unhappy users. So when you do this have nasadmin up and stop what your doing if you get the first failure. EMC knows about this, we actually had their people on site, who promptly blew away our celerra database. They have not been back.

We have a tape library with six tape drives in the SAN. Is it possible to configure the Celerra NAS devices to mount the tape drives from the SAN with NetBackup SSO option? Or we have to mount the tape drive on one of the NetBackup media servers and do three-way or remote NDMP backup? I read through the NetBackup for NDMP SA's guide but still not clear on how SSO works with NDMP. Can somebody kindly explain to me how SSO works with NDMP? Thanks much, Rongsheng _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
