HP X9000 NAS

General Information

This information is provided to help you use NetBackup for NDMP with an HP StorageWorks X9000 NAS system.

  • Documentation

    For further details, refer to the following documentation:

    • X9000 File Serving CLI Reference

    • X9000 Administration Guide

Access Configuration

Once the tape libraries are detected and listed, the HP X9000 should be configured to be the NDMP server.

To configure NDMP parameters on the management console GUI

  1. Select Cluster Configuration from the Navigator.
  2. Select NDMP Backup.

    The NDMP Configuration Summary shows the default values for the parameters.

  3. Click Modify on the Configure NDMP dialog box to configure the parameters for your cluster. See online Help for a description of each field.

To configure NDMP parameters from the CLI, use the following command:

ibrix_ndmpconfig - c [-d IP1,IP2,IP3,...] [-m MINPORT] [-x MAXPORT] [-n LISTENPORT] [-u USERNAME] [-p PASSWORD] [-e {0=disable,1=enable}] - v {0=10}] [-w BYTES] [-z NUMSESSIONS]

The NDMP server starts automatically if NDMP sessions are enabled on the cluster. You can use the following command to start, stop, or restart the NDMP server on one or more file serving nodes:

ibrix_server - s - t ndmp - c { start | stop | restart} [-h SERVERNAMES]

Device configuration

Once the connection between HP X9000 and tape library is completed, it is essential that HP X9320 detect and list the tape libraries connected to it.

To view the tape and media changer devices currently configured for backups

  1. Select Cluster Configuration from the Navigator.
  2. Select NDMP Backup > Tape Devices.
  3. If you add a tape or media changer device to the SAN, click Rescan Device to update the list. If you remove a device and want to delete it from the list, you will need to restart all of the servers to which the device is attached.

To view tape and media changer devices from the CLI, use the following command:

ibrix_tape - l

To rescan for devices, use the following command:

ibrix_tape - r

For more information, refer to the HP StorageWorks X9320 Network Storage System Administration Guide.
