Configuration prerequisites

In addition to the configuration prerequisites covered in the Quest NetVault Backup Plug‑in for NDMP User’s Guide, verify that the following requirements are met:

•
User account for NDMP backups and restores: Create an NDMP Administrator account for backups and restores.
Use this account when adding the NDMP Server.
•
Direct Access Recovery (DAR) requirements: To use DAR, enable this feature on the filer.
•
Backup device configuration: Isilon Clusters that are not configured with a Backup Accelerator can only use devices that are attached to the NetVault Backup Server or Client. Isilon Clusters that are configured with a Backup Accelerator can use locally attached devices.

Isilon Backup Accelerator configuration

Before you add Isilon Backup Accelerator-attached devices to NetVault Backup Server, complete the following steps on the Isilon Cluster. These steps verify that the device has been correctly added to the Backup Accelerator:

1
After connecting the tape device or library to the Backup Accelerator through the Fibre Channel ports, verify that the ports are enabled:
isi fc ls
2
Scan the Backup Accelerator Fibre Channel ports, and add libraries and tape devices to the Backup Accelerator devices:
isi tape rescan [--reconcile]
The --reconcile argument removes tape devices that are no longer detected from the Backup Accelerator devices pool. If this argument is not specified, tape devices are not removed from the devices pool.
After adding the tape devices to the Backup Accelerator devices pool, you can add any of the listed devices to NetVault Backup Server.
3
To list the devices added in the Backup Accelerator devices pool, type:
isi tape ls -v
4
Note the serial numbers listed for the drives.
This information is required for adding the drives in proper order in NetVault Backup.

NOTE: Workflow scenarios that include a significant number of small files can affect system performance.
