Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backup question
If you are using an NDMP storage unit on the solaris host you must specify the drive path as hostname:/dev/rmt/Xcbn not just /dev/rmt/Xcbn as this is how NBU knows what is and what is not an NDMP dedicated drive (Im assuming u arent on NBU 6 which allows drives to be in both NDMP and standard storage units simultaneously) cheers Andy.

The spare drive is currently fibre attached to a newly built solaris box (solaris 10). We are trying to set up the solaris box as a media server/ndmp host for 3-way backups of mirapoint email appliances (which support 3-ways). The solaris box can see/communicate fine with the tape drive. It is set up as a storage unit on the master, with the media manager set to the solaris box, with storage unit type ndmp. For some reason or another everytime we try to kick off a policy to backup using it we immeadietly get a 219 (storage unit unavailable). The logs specifically say (on the solaris box), that there is no NDMP drive attached to the solaris box in the robot (tld 0 - on the linux box). Anyone have any thoughts on this one? -Shane ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
RE: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backup question
Sounds to me like you need to tell the NetApp appliance about the Solaris server. You may need to change the storage unit type to media server not NDMP.
