How can I backup VNX File using NetWorker and an FC tape library
I've a VNX Unifed array which has a tape library zoned and configured to it over an FC fabric. I currently use an aging backup utility to dump directly from the VNX File straight to the tape library. I want to start using our NetWorker install to run and store the backups from the VNX instead.
I've got NetWorker 9.1.1.5 installed with a VM as an NMC and I have a remote storage node which has ethernet and FC connectivity.
Please do not give me a link to the NDMP document it's pretty useless. EMC support haven't been able to help me either. This surely must be possible?

The following is a very basic list of tasks to perform, but it gives you an idea on what needs to be done. Many of these tasks are documented in the admin guide NDMP guide, kb articles, and even in this NetWorker community forums.
Start by designing how these hardware are connected to each other.
Verify that the NetWorker server can contact the NDMP daemon that is running on the VNX and listening on port 10000 with:
In NetWorker Management console, configure the VNX storage node:
Once the jukebox is configured, then again in NMC:

Many thanks for this info, it's the best configuration guide I've found on this subject
