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

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

To display where the service logs:

# svcs -l ndmpd
fmri         svc:/system/ndmpd:default
name         NDMP Service

state        online

             (online)

If you specify an incorrect path name in the NetBackup policy's Backup Selections list (file list), the entire backup fails with status code 99, "NDMP backup failure."
