Configuring Your IP4700 Device for Use with Backup Software
Configuring Veritas NetBackup Software
Configuring
NetBackup for
Standalone Tape
Drives
This section describes how to set up an NDMP login and create a
device, storage unit, and class when configuring NetBackup for
standalone tape drives. It also describes how to test the tape drive
and perform a test backup after you have configured the NetBackup
software.
Setting Up an NDMP
Login
You must inform NetBackup how to log in to the NDMP hosts. For
each IP4700 SP, set up the NDMP login as follows:
1. From the UNIX prompt, type cd install_path/volmgr/bin, or
from the Windows prompt, cd install_path\volmgr\bin.
install_path is where the Veritas NetBackup software is installed.
2. Type set_ndmp_attr -auth hostname username.
Hostname is the host name you defined for the SP, and username
is the NDMP user you defined on the IP4700.
The NDMP username is always Administrator, no matter what name the
administrative account uses. The NDMP account password is the same
as the IP4700 administrative password. It cannot be a null password.
3. At the prompts for the password, type the password for the
IP4700 administrative account.
4. To verify proper authorization, type
set_ndmp_attr -verify hostname
If the server can log in to the IP4700, the message, login
successful appears. If not, make sure you have used the
correct user name and password.
Continue the NetBackup configuration by creating the device,
storage unit, and class, using the NetBackup graphical user interface.
Creating a Device To create a device, follow these steps:
1. From the NetBackup Administration window, click Media and
Device Manager.
2. From the Media and Device Management NetBackup window,
select Actions
→ New Drive.
