DESCRIPTION
Use this command to do the following:
administer Fibre Transport for SAN client backups and restores
administer Fibre Transport for duplication to another appliance
administer Fibre Transport for duplication on this appliance as a target host
Note:
To use this appliance as a target host, you must enable the NBUAppliances service on the source host(s). To enable that service, log on to the source appliance, and run the Main > Settings> FibreTransport NBUAppliances Enable command from the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.
Note:
You must restart the appliances in the FC zone if you have caused the physical state of a port in the zone to change by disabling or enabling this appliance as a target host for data duplication.
OPTIONS
- FibreTransport NBUAppliances Disable
Disable Fibre Transport for duplication to another appliance. By default, Fibre Transport to another appliance is disabled.
This option restarts the deduplication storage daemons. Therefore, any active backup, restore, or duplication jobs fail.
- FibreTransport NBUAppliances Enable
Enable Fibre Transport for duplication to another appliance.
This option restarts the deduplication storage daemons. Therefore, any active backup, restore, or duplication jobs fail.
- FibreTransport NBUAppliances Show
Display the status of the Fibre Transport services to another appliance.
- FibreTransport SANClient Disable
Disable Fibre Transport for SAN client backups and restores to this appliance. By default, Fibre Transport for backups and restores is disabled.
This option restarts the NetBackup SAN client daemons. Therefore, any active backup, restore, or duplication jobs fail.
- FibreTransport SANClient Enable
Enable Fibre Transport for SAN client backups and restores to this appliance.
This option restarts the NetBackup SAN client daemons. Therefore, any active backup, restore, or duplication jobs fail.
- FibreTransport SANClient Enable [2|4]
Enable Fibre Transport for SAN Client backups and restores to this appliance.
By default, the feature is disabled on new appliances or on appliances that have been factory reset.
The available port number settings are optional, since they are typically configured using the Manage > FibreChannel > Configure command. The options are as follows:
No ports specified
If you enter the command without specifying the number of ports, the feature is enabled but the port configuration does not change. For new appliances or appliances that have been factory reset, the port configuration remains at 2 by default.
2
Sets Port 1 to the target mode on the following FC HBA cards:
NetBackup 5230 and 5330 - cards in slots 5 and 6
NetBacklup 5340 - cards in slots 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 depending on the I/O configuration
4
Sets Ports 1 and 2 to the target mode on the following FC HBA cards:
NetBackup 5230 and 5330 - cards in slots 5 and 6
NetBacklup 5340 - cards in slots 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 depending on the I/O configuration
Changing this option restarts the NetBackup SAN client daemons. Therefore, any active backup, restore, or duplication jobs fail.
- FibreTransport SANClient Show
Display the status of the Fibre Transport server for SAN client backups and restores.
- FibreTransport Deduplication Disable
Disable Fibre Transport on the appliance as a target host for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication. This revert the physical state of all the target mode ports to initiator.
- FibreTransport Deduplication Enable FactoryDefault
Enable Fibre Transport on the appliance as a target host for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication. The factory default port configuration is used.
When the feature has been enabled, you can use this command to restore the customized port configuration to the factory default state.
Note:
This command restarts the Deduplication service if the feature state is changed from disabled to enabled. The service restart causes the ongoing jobs to fail, and then failover to LAN. Veritas recommends that you cancel or suspend all jobs before changing the feature state.
- FibreTransport Deduplication Enable [Current]
Enable Fibre Transport on the appliance as a target host for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication. The preexisting port configuration is used.
If no HBA port has been configured before you enable this feature, the factory default port configuration is used.
Note:
This command restarts the Deduplication service if the feature state is changed from disabled to enabled. The service restart causes the ongoing jobs to fail, and then failover to LAN. Veritas recommends that you cancel or suspend all jobs before changing the feature state.
- FibreTransport Deduplication Show
Show whether the appliance is enabled as a target host for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication.
