Oracle Solaris Server
This information is provided to help you use NetBackup for NDMP with an Oracle Solaris NDMP server.
For further details, contact Oracle.
To install the server software on any Solaris 11 server:
pkg install service/storage/ndmp
To allow control of locally-attached tape libraries, configure the sgen driver:
update_drv - a - I "scsiclass,08" sgen
reboot
Note:
It is not recommended to run NetBackup on the same machine. NetBackup Tape Library control cannot run in conjunction with Solaris Tape Library control.
To display the existing configuration:
ndmpadm get
The username and password for NDMP access is set when the service is enabled:
ndmpadm enable - a cram-md5 - u <username>
Enable DAR:
ndmpadm set dar-support=yes
Enable BSD-style drive access:
ndmpadm set drive-type=bsd
Configure volumes for NDMP export:
ndmpadm set fs-export=/<path1>,[/<path2>, etc.]
To start/stop the NDMP service:
svcadm [enable|disable] ndmpd
