Authorizing NetBackup access to a NAS (NDMP) host
Before NetBackup can perform backups using NDMP, it must have access to the NAS (or NDMP) host.
Note:
Perform the following procedure on the primary server (not media server) if you plan to create snapshots using Replication Director.
To authorize NetBackup access to the NDMP host
- Open the NetBackup web UI.
- On the left, click Credential management. Then click the Client credentials tab.
- Click Add. Select NDMP host and click Next.
- Enter the name of the NDMP server for NetBackup to back up.
If you use NetApp's Clustered Data ONTAP, the NDMP host must be a Storage Virtual Machine (SVM).
The NDMP host name is case-sensitive. The name must match the name that is entered here whenever this host name is used.
Note:
If you do not plan to use Replication Director and you add NDMP host credentials using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), you must also indicate the fully qualified domain name on the client for lookups. The server list in the Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface must list the NDMP host by the FQDN as well.
If you add NDMP host credentials using a short name, you can use either the short name or the FQDN in the client's server list.
- Specify the following:
(The term credentials refers to the username and password that NetBackup uses to access the NDMP host.)
Use the following credentials for this NDMP host on all media servers
Enables all NetBackup media servers that are connected to the NDMP host to access the NDMP host using the logon you specify:
Username: The username under which NetBackup accesses the NDMP server. This user must have permission to run NDMP commands.
You can find out whether your NDMP host vendor requires a particular username or access level.
Password: Enter the password for this user.
Use different credentials for this NDMP host on each media server
Specifies NDMP logons for specific NetBackup servers.
Click Add.
Select a NetBackup server and specify the username and password it uses to access the NDMP host.
Click Add. NetBackup validates the username and password.
If necessary, click Add again to specify other servers and credentials.
- Click Add.
- Repeat this procedure for each NDMP host that NetBackup backs up.
