NDMP and Backup exec

Hi

We Are currently useing a NS120, (Celerra and Clairron) we are using symantec backup exec and a HP Fibre Channel Tape Libary to backup are Servers

We have setup 2 NFS Exports on the Celerra and presneted these to 3 ESXi Serevr.

we want to be able to use the NDMP To backup the servers running on the NFS Exports via NDMP across the FC Network.

NDMP Has been setup on the Cellerra and backup exec can see the Celerra's Data mover when we configure a NDMP Job at the momenet the Backup job gors across the Network from the Celerra to the Backup exec Server.

the Celerra can see the Tape Libary (although One Data mover can see only One Tape device while the other one can see the Tape Libary and the Tape Device)

we want this to go acroos the FC Network

1. is this supported for NFS Exports

2. is their any further steps that are required on the Celerra to get this working?

any thoughts

Many Thanks,

9 Legend

are you ok backing-up live vmdk files ?

In your backup software you need to define drives as they are seen by the datamover "cXtxLx".

Hi

thanks,

yeah we are OK backing up the vmdk files, at the momement they are being backed up via the Network.

Can you alaborate on CxtXLx (is this Controller, Target, Lun)?

as from the output of server_devconfig Server_2 -list -scsi -nondisk?

This is the output we get

server_2

tape1               c64t0l0      tape  HP Ultrium 5-SCSI

server_3

tape1               c64t0l0      tape  HP Ultrium 5-SCSI

jbox2               c64t0l1      jbox  HP MSL G3

the Tape libary is currently connected to the Fibre channel Switch?
