About Media and Device Management configuration
On the NetBackup for NDMP server, use in the NetBackup Administration Console to add drives and robots. As an alternative, you can use the NetBackup Device Configuration Wizard.
Note:
It is recommended to connect any tape drive that is attached to a NetApp cDOT system to all of the cluster nodes. If you do not follow this recommendation, NetBackup may not be able to find the optimal path for data transfer.
The following procedures and examples treat NDMP configuration issues only.
See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for UNIX, Windows, and Linux, Volume I, for general information on configuring NetBackup media.
More information on configuring storage devices for specific NDMP hosts is available.
For information about supported NDMP operating systems and NAS vendors, access NetBackup for NDMP: NAS Appliance Information from the Veritas Technical Support website. The topic also contains configuration and troubleshooting help for particular NAS systems:
For a list of the features and software releases for each NAS vendor, for SSO support, and for the NetBackup versions that support these vendors, see the NetBackup Compatibility List for all Versions.
These procedures do not apply to setting up the devices that are attached to the NetBackup media server. To back up NDMP data to media servers, you must configure storage units in the same way as ordinary NetBackup (non-NDMP) devices. More information is available:
