Supported Applications; Enabling Ndmp Support - Dell PowerVault NX3500 Administrator's Manual

NDMP backups on PowerVault NX3500 are performed using the LAN or
client network. The DMA should be configured to access one of the client
VIPs (or a DNS name) of the PowerVault NX3500 cluster.
The PowerVault NX3500 does not support a dedicated backup IP address
configured on LAN or client network. All Virtual IPs configured on the LAN
or client network can be used by backup software to take backups and
perform restores.
The PowerVault NX3500 NAS system provides a generic user interface to
enable the NDMP agent and is programmed to work independent of the
installed NDMP agent.
