Problem

How to specify which IP address the NDMP host will use to connect back to the NetBackup media server

Solution

1.  Create the following file on the NetBackup media server:

UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/ndmp.cfg
Windows: <install path>\VERITAS\NetBackup\db\config\ndmp.cfg

2.  Add the following line to the ndmp.cfg file, using the actual desired IP address where <IP> is shown.

NDMP_DATA_CONNECTION_HOST_NAME=<IP>

For example, if the media server's connect back internet protocol address is 10.0.0.20, the entry would be:

NDMP_DATA_CONNECTION_HOST_NAME=10.0.0.20

3.  Stop and restart the NetBackup processes.

On UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup stop
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start

On Windows:
<install path>\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpdown
<install path>\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpup
 
4.  Make sure that the NDMP port (10000) is open in both directions through any relevant firewalls.
