Use the following steps to check the current mode and if necessary disable node-scoped-mode to use svm-scoped mode.
1/ Verify the NDMP mode status;
system services ndmp node-scope-mode status
NDMP node-scope-mode is enabled.
2/ Disable node-scoped mode (implies SVM-scoped);
system services ndmp node-scope-mode off
NDMP node-scope-mode is disabled
3/ Enable NDMP service on the admin SVM by using the vserver services ndmp on
command;
vserver services ndmp on –vserver [put Vserver_name here]
Configuring a backup user for the cluster
1/ security login create -user-or-group-name backup_user -application ssh
-authmethod password -role backup | admin
Enter a high-security password (St0r@ge!)
NOTE: Use role as admin rather than backup
2/ Generate a password for the admin SVM by using the “vserver services ndmp generate
password” command. The generated password must be used to authenticate the NDMP connection by the backup application;
vserver services ndmp generate-password -vserver [put Vserver_name here] -user backup_user
Vserver: [Vserver_name]
User: backup_user
Password: [auto-generated]
Configure an NDMP service user account:
In the SVM-scoped NDMP mode, you must use NDMP Service user account to access a storage system to perform backup and restore operations. You must also generate a password for the user account;
vserver services ndmp generate-password -vserver [put Vserver_name here] -user admin
