Pre-requisites for indexing for an NDMP policy

The following are pre-requisites to enable indexing for an NDMP policy:

  • You must add a disk array host to NetBackup.

    See Configuring indexing for an NDMP policy.

  • Make sure that the Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) login account with the ontapi application is in the unlocked state.

    Indexing jobs fail with error code 2113 if the account is in the locked state.

Note:

Indexing NDMP policies is supported only for NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP configurations.

Indexing jobs fail with error code 2113 if the account is in the locked state.

Run the following command to check the account details and verify the status of the account, the Locked column shows 'yes' if the account is locked:

PUNBNRRDF _2240_01::> security login show -vserver Primary_VS_Auto_1 -user-or-group-name demo

The following is the output if the account is locked:

Run the following command on the cluster to unlock the account:

PUNBNRRDF_2240_01::> security login unlock -vserver Primary_VS_Auto_1 -username demo

Run the login command again to check the status, the 'Locked' column would show 'no' as shown in the output:

After you unlock the account, you can proceed with the steps to configure indexing with an NDMP policy.

Note:

The commands can change with the ONTAP version change. Please check your NetApp documentation for information about the latest commands.
