Go to SolutionCan't create ndmp user
I have read the "Configuring NDMP Backups ON Celerra" manual and I just can't get the basic steps working.
I am trying to create the ndmp user using the md5 method
# /nas/sbin/server_user server_2 –add –md5 –password ndmp
The response I get is simply a prompt:
USER ID:
Not sure what do do at that prompt. Does not do anything and if I type anything and hit return, I get "invalid numeric argument: ndmp
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I just figured out I am supposed to enter a User ID and Group ID. I entered in 1000 for both. I was thinking that the documentation was showing automatically generated output... not something I had to manually enter in. The Documentation for NDMP is difficult...

In the output, the two mandatory fields, User ID (UID) and Group ID (GID), are integers. The Celerra
Network Server uses UNIX-style UIDs and GIDs to record the ownership of files and directories. The UID of the
root user is 0. The password you assign to the Data Mover can contain between six and eight characters.
