Networker 8.1 guidelines to configure Netapp (c mode) backup using NDMP

added a new NDMP client for netapp with all default setting

42617:nsrndmp_save: NDMP Service Log: Session identifier: 40142

42909:nsrndmp_save: Performing DAR Backup..

83563:nsrndmp_save: Performing full backup, BASE_DATE = 0

42794:nsrndmp_save: Performing backup to Non-NDMP type of device

42658:nsrdsa_save: DSA savetime = 1474878982

85183:nsrndmp_save: DSA is listening for an NDMP data connection on: XX.XX.XX.XX, port = 8763

42597:nsrndmp_save: data connect: failed to establish connection

    Thank you Hrvoje,

    Finally worked after few KBs that are useful, links for the KBs are below. ensure to add "/svm name/vol junction point" and required application command following the KB instruction. rest is all default

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Networker settings

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    https://support.emc.com/kb/420975

    https://support.emc.com/kb/424647

    https://support.emc.com/kb/323108

    Application commands added are below

    USE_TBB_IF_AVAILABLE=Y

    EXTRACT_ACL=T

    DIRECT=Y

    BUTYPE=dump

    HIST=Y

    UPDATE=Y

    /"SVM name"/"netapp volume junction name"

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Netapp setting for C mode

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    From the clustershell, confirm that node-scope-mode is disabled:

    ::> system services ndmp node-scope-mode status

    NDMP node-scope-mode is disabled.

    If it is displayed as enabled, modify the status to off:

    ::> system services ndmp node-scope-mode off

    NDMP node-scope-mode is disabled.

    Verify that the NDMP protocol is allowed on the Vserver:

    ::> vserver show -vserver -fields allowed-protocols

    For example:

    ::> vserver show -vserver vs_cifs -fields allowed-protocols

    vserver allowed-protocols

    ------- -----------------------

    vs_cifs nfs,cifs,fcp,iscsi,ndmp

    If NDMP Protocol is not seen in the list, add it along with the required protocols:

    ::> vserver modify -vserver -allowed-protocols nfs,cifs,fcp,iscsi,ndmp

    For example:

    ::> vserver modify -vserver vs_cifs -allowed-protocols nfs,cifs,fcp,iscsi,ndmp

    Note: Ensure not to remove any existing protocols from this list.

    Enable Vserver-scope NDMP on the Vserver in question:

    ::> vserver ndmpd on -vserver

    For example:

    ::> vserver ndmpd on -vserver vs_cifs

    Run the following command to confirm:

    ::> vserver ndmpd show

    VServer       Enabled   Authentication type

    ------------- --------- -------------------

    cifs          false     challenge

    cm2220a-cn    false     challenge

    dd            false     challenge

    svm_cifs      false     challenge

    svm_nfs       false     challenge

    vs_cifs       true      challenge

    vsarun        false     challenge

    7 entries were displayed.

    Set up the authentication for the Vserver.

    For more information, see 1014597: How to configure NDMP authentication in the ‘Vserver-scope’ mode.

    Ensure that correct LIFs are being used.

    For more information, see 1014598: How to identify which resources are available through NDMP based on LIF type.

    vserver show -vserver vs1 -protocols

    vserver add-protocols -vserver vs1 -protocols cifs,ndmp,iscsi,fcp

    cluster::> vserver services ndmp generate-password –vserver [vserver_name] –user [user_name]

    cluster::> vserver services ndmp generate-password -vserver prod_vs1 -user vsadmin

    Vserver: prod_vs1

        User: vsadmin

    Password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    It failed to connect filer over the name you provided.  With C mode, you have several names in game... I forgot which storage guys me, but it works just fine for me, but before we made it work we also had to play around to see which name we would use to access it (not sure, but I believe we either used node owner or that was what was not supposed to be used - one of the two :-) ).

    any advise whether there should be any device setting or configuration that has to be carried out at networker server or the destination devise setting (emc data domain)

    Once backup job stats, we do see an active NDMP session within netapp console using port 10000, however not sure why should it point the following event with below IP / port.

    85183:nsrndmp_save: DSA is listening for an NDMP data connection on: 169.XX.XX.XX, port = 8763

    Guys,

    Client should be created with netapp cluster name? Because with virtual server name its not possible. Also how about restore data of one volume to another?

    Using the vitrual server name works, however it works with home port only, volume part of other node are backed up only when we create node fail-over.

    is Networker 8.1 a cluster aware backup software?
