Getting select a valid ndmp host when configuring storage unit for NDMP

are you pointing your backup application to an interface on the datamover ?  Make sure you are not point it to the control station ip address.

I am actually pointing to the server_2 IP not the control station.  Do you know if Celerra NDMP license for Netbackup is different from the one used for NetApp NDMP.  I know NDMP is NDMP but not sure if Netbackup requires to use a different license for Celerra.

it's the same ndmp license. So did you configure ndmp user (with md5 parameter) on the datamover ?

how do I restart NDMP on celerra?

Thank you for getting back to me. Here is my configuration looks like as you see access is good drive is configured and I wanted to just create storage unit then the policy will follow but when I  click ok after filling information it tells me "select a valid NDMP host which is there:

Connecting to host "server_2" as user "ndmp"...
Waiting for connect notification message...
Opening session--attempting with NDMP protocol version 4...
Opening session--successful with NDMP protocol version 4
  host supports TEXT authentication
  host supports MD5 authentication
Getting MD5 challenge from host...
Logging in using MD5 method...
Host info is:
  host name "server_2"
  os type "DartOS"
  os version "EMC Celerra File Server.T.5.6.45.5"
  host id "abc1997"
Login was successful
Host supports LOCAL backup/restore
Host supports 3-way backup/restore

==================

Drive Name              IBM.ULT3580-TD3-NDMP
        Index                   31
        NonRewindDrivePath      c32t0l0
        NDMP client             server_2
        Type                    hcart3

        SCSI Protection         SR (Global)
        Shared Access           No

        Serial Number           0007839279

Currently defined robotics are:
  TLD(0)     robotic path = /dev/ovpass0

========================================

have you ran into something like this?

instead of server_2 specify ip address on the datamover

yes it does.  All access and configuration of the device looks good.

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin# tpautoconf -verify server_2
Connecting to host "server_2" as user "ndmp"...
Waiting for connect notification message...
Opening session--attempting with NDMP protocol version 4...
Opening session--successful with NDMP protocol version 4
  host supports TEXT authentication
  host supports MD5 authentication
Getting MD5 challenge from host...
Logging in using MD5 method...
Host info is:
  host name "server_2"
  os type "DartOS"
  os version "EMC Celerra File Server.T.5.6.45.5"
  host id "abc1997"
Login was successful
Host supports LOCAL backup/restore
Host supports 3-way backup/restore

so if you run tpautoconf –verify server_2  ..it comes back successful ?

The only thing I think of is that this is just an old license before Symantech bought Netbackup

do you mean on the Netbackup window when creating storage unit where I specify the:

Storage unit name: server_2_NDMP

NDMP host "which comes populated I have no option here to put the IP"

media server  (threre option to select"

OR there something I can specify IP on the celerra itsef?

Thanks
