Obtaining the device identifier for each source and clone LUN
The NetBackup policy requires entry of the array's Unique ID. If your array administrator provided LUN numbers for the devices, you must convert those LUN numbers into Unique IDs for entry in the NetBackup policy Snapshot Resources pane. You can obtain the LUN Unique IDs in either of two ways, as follows.
To obtain the device identifier for each source and clone LUN
- Enter the following command on the NetBackup client:
/opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -address CLARiiON_hostname -user array_admin_username -password password -scope 0 getlun lun_number -uid - Note the exact UID string that this command returns. This UID is the unique ID of the LUN.
For example, to obtain the unique ID of LUN 67, enter:
/opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -address CLARiiON_hostname -user array_admin_username -password password -scope 0 getlun 67 -uidExample output:
UID: 60:06:01:60:C8:26:12:00:4F:AE:30:13:C4:11:DB:11
- To obtain the number of the LUN to use on the naviseccli command, find the clone group and examine the LUN list.
Copy the unique ID into the NetBackup policy, as follows:
If the LUN specified on the naviseccli command is the source LUN for the clone group, copy the unique ID into the Source Device field of the Add Snapshot Resource dialog box of the NetBackup policy. Help is available for that dialog box.
See Configuring a policy using EMC_CLARiiON_Snapview_Clone method.
If the LUN specified on the naviseccli command is a clone LUN, copy the unique ID into the Snapshot Device(s) field.
To use the Navisphere Web interface
- To find the unique ID of a LUN, right-click the LUN in the Navisphere Web interface and select Properties.
- See the Unique ID field.
As of this writing, you cannot copy and paste the Unique ID from the Navisphere web interface. Use the naviseccli command to copy and paste the ID.
