Dell EMC Unity

General Information

This information is provided to help you use NetBackup for NDMP with the Dell EMC Unity system.

For further details, consult the Help within the administration console, or contact Dell.

Access Configuration

After a NAS server is created, or during the NAS server creation, the Protection & Events tab on the Edit NAS Server page allows the user to Enable NDMP and Change Password.

Device configuration
  1. Log in to command processor over SSH as service.

    This will show the attached devices.

    > svc_nas [NAS_server|ALL] -devconfig -probe -nondisks -all

    An example:

    > svc_nas dsunity001dm01 -devconfig -probe -nondisks -all
    		dsunity001dm01 :
    		SCSI devices :
    		chain=0, scsi-0 : no devices on chain
    		chain=1, scsi-1 : no devices on chain
    		chain=2, scsi-2
    		tid/lun= 0/0, type= tape, info= 
    		tid/lun= 0/1, type= jbox, info= 
    		chain=3, scsi-3 : no devices on chain
    		chain=4, scsi-4 : no devices on chain
    		chain=5, scsi-5 : no devices on chain
    		chain=6, scsi-6 : no devices on chain
    		chain=7, scsi-7 : no devices on chain
    		chain=8, scsi-8 : no devices on chain
    		chain=9, scsi-9 : no devices on chain
    		chain=10, scsi-10 : no devices on chain
    		chain=11, scsi-11 : no devices on chain
    		chain=12, scsi-12 : no devices on chain
    		chain=13, scsi-13 : no devices on chain
    		chain=14, scsi-14 : no devices on chain
    		chain=15, scsi-15 : no devices on chain
    
  2. Using the information shown, configure the devices to 1|ALL NAS_servers:
    > svc_nas {<NAS_server_name> | ALL} -devconfig -create
     -scsi [<chain_number>] {-nondisks|-all}
  3. It is necessary to enable scsi reservations, as it is not enabled by default (as of version 4.4):
    > svc_nas {<NAS_server_name> | ALL}  -param -f NDMP -m
     scsiReserve -v 1
  4. The NAS_server will need to be rebooted to have the setting take effect:
    > svc_shutdown -r now
