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...
