NDMP storage unit considerations

The NetBackup for NDMP license must be installed on the media server to use the hosts as storage units. Media Manager controls NDMP storage units but the units attach to NDMP hosts.

NDMP storage unit settings

Create NDMP storage units for drives directly attached to NAS filers. Any drive that is attached to a NetBackup media server is considered a Media Manager storage unit, even if used for NDMP backups.

Note:

Remote NDMP storage units may already be configured on a media server from a previous release. Upon upgrade of the media server, those storage units are automatically converted to Media Manager storage units.

See the NetBackup for NDMP Administrator's Guide for more information.
