Configuration from the Navigator, and then select NDMP Backup > Tape Devices.
If you add a tape or media changer device to the SAN, click Rescan Device to update the list. If
you remove a device and want to delete it from the list, reboot all of the servers to which the device
is attached.
To view tape and media changer devices from the CLI, use the following command:
ibrix_tape -l
To rescan for devices, use the following command:
ibrix_tape -r

NDMP events

An NDMP Server can generate three types of events: INFO, WARN, and ALERT. These events are
displayed on the GUI and can be viewed with the ibrix_event command.
INFO events. Identifies when major NDMP operations start and finish, and also report progress.
For example:
7012:Level 3 backup of /mnt/ibfs7 finished at Sat Nov
7013:Total Bytes = 38274665923, Average throughput = 236600391 bytes/sec.
WARN events. Indicates an issue with NDMP access, the environment, or NDMP operations. Be
sure to review these events and take any necessary corrective actions. Following are some examples:
0000:Unauthorized NDMP Client 16.39.40.201 trying to connect
4002:User [joe] md5 mode login failed.
ALERT events. Indicates that an NDMP action has failed. For example:
1102: Cannot start the session_monitor daemon, ndmpd exiting.
7009:Level 6 backup of /mnt/shares/accounts1 failed (writing eod header error).
8001:Restore Failed to read data stream signature.
You can configure the system to send email or SNMP notifications when these types of events
occur.
