Dell EMC Isilon
General Information
This information is provided to help you use NetBackup for NDMP with an Isilon system.
For further details, contact Dell.
Access Configuration
To enable NDMP
- Access the management browser to sign in to the system.
- Select Backup > Configuration, then select the user name and password, and enable the NDMP service state.
NetBackup configuration
OneFS 7.1 introduced two new features for NDMP backups: Snapshot-based incrementals and unlimited incremental backups. These are enabled and disabled through the use of environment variables set in the Backup Selections list in a NetBackup policy:
set BACKUP_MODE=SNAPSHOT
Enables snapshot-based incrementals.
set LEVEL=10
In OneFS 7.1, Isilon implemented a feature enabling unlimited incremental backups. This feature is enabled by setting the LEVEL environment variable to 10.
Starting with NetBackup 7.7, you may set the LEVEL environment for Differential Incremental backup schedules only. For Full or Cumulative Incremental schedules, the value is ignored.
Note:
In OneFS 8.0, Isilon introduced NDMP restartable backups (checkpoints). This feature is not supported by NetBackup.
Troubleshooting
The NDMP logs can be found at /var/log/isi_ndmp_d on each node.
To monitor system status from the management browser, go to Alerts to view alert activity.
