Modifying Dma Servers List; Specifying Nas Volume For Backup; Displaying Active Ndmp Jobs - Dell PowerVault NX3500 Administrator's Manual

Modifying DMA Servers List

In order to take an NDMP backup of the PowerVault NX3500 NAS system,
the Backup Application server (DMA) must be included in the whitelist of
the DMA servers.
To add a DMA server to the list:
1 Click Data ProtectionNDMPNDMP Configuration.
2 Type the IP address of the DMA server in the empty DMA Server field.
DNS names are not supported.
3 Click Save Changes.
4 If no empty fields are available, click Add DMA Server button on the
Action tab and go to step 2.
To remove a DMA server from the list:
1 Click Data ProtectionNDMPNDMP Configuration.
2 Select the check box next to the DMA server you would like to remove.
3 Click Remove DMA Server on the Action bar.
NOTE:
Removing the DMA server from the whitelist does not interrupt
backup/restore operation already in progress to/from that DMA server.

Specifying NAS Volume for Backup

Most Backup Applications automatically list the available volumes to backup.
In Symantec NetBackup 7.0 you can manually type in the volume path.
The PowerVault NX3500 system exposes backup volumes at the following
path: /mnt/backup/<NASVolumeName> where <NASVolumeName> is the
exact name as it appears in the user interface.

Displaying Active NDMP Jobs

All backup or restore operations currently being processed by the PowerVault
NX3500 can be seen on the NDMP Active Jobs page, under Data
ProtectionNDMP or MonitorNDMP .
For each session, the following information is displayed.
• Session ID: The unique identifier for this session.
• Initiator DMA: DMA IP address that initiated this session.
