Hitachi NAS (HNAS)
This information is provided to help you use NetBackup for NDMP with the Hitachi NAS (HNAS) system.
For further details, consult the Help within the administration console, or contact Hitachi Corporation.
For access configuration options, including setting the NDMP username and password, and enabling and disabling NDMP access, select within the administration console.
Once devices are attached to the HNAS, use the following sequence to configure them for use with NDMP:
- Allow access to the devices:
backup-device-allow-access all
- Assign the devices to an EVS:
•backup-device-set-evs <device #> [<EVS_Name|Any]
- Refresh the list of devices that are available through NDMP:
ndmp-devices-update
- If the drives are shared between multiple hosts, enable SCSI reservations on the devices with the following command:
ndmp-option reserve_devices all
You may use the following supported environment variables in the file list:
EXCLUDE
For example: set EXCLUDE="*mp3,core"
FUTURE_FILES
For example: set FUTURE_FILES=y
HIST
For example: set HIST=n
set LEVEL=i
For Hitachi NAS, setting LEVEL=i instructs the device to take an incremental based off the most recent previous backup of any level.
Starting with NetBackup 7.7, you may set the LEVEL environment for Differential Incremental backup schedules only. For Full or Cumulative Incremental schedules, the value is ignored.
