Mapping Cifs Shares - EMC DL3D 1500 Administrator's Manual

Mapping CIFS shares

®
EMC NetWorker
Symantec NetBackup
This section describes how to configure several different backup
applications to use CIFS shares on the DL3D.
1. Create a CIFS share on the DL3D and join a workgroup or domain
type authentication domain (using the same type as the
NetWorker server or storage node that will use the CIFS share).
2. Map the CIFS share to a drive in Windows Explorer and create a
directory (for example, nw) that NetWorker will use as the
location for the advanced file type device (which will be created
in a later step).
3. Add a user netadmin with a password on the DL3D.
4. Add a Windows user called netadmin and make the user a
member of the Administrators and Backup Operators group.
5. Under Device Manager/Services, edit NetWorker Backup and
Recover Server and NetWorker Remote Exec Service.
a. Under Log on as, choose This account and type the netadmin
username and password.
b. Restart these services.
6. Open the Management Console and then invoke Administration.
7. Create a new device as follows:
a. Select Devices and under the Devices tree, create a new device
: "Name" = to full path to the CIFS share created on the DL3D
(example: \\10.40.166.100\pep_cifs1\nw)
"Media Type" = adv_file
b. Also specify netadmin for username and password for
password on the second tab.
8. Start a backup to the CIFS share.
1. Create CIFS shares on the DL3D (for example: mycifs1) and join a
workgroup or domain type authentication domain (using the
same type as the NetBackup server).
2. Map the share as a network drive.
