DFM and NDMP
a. First st this at filer
Options ndmpd.enable ON
Options ndmpd.access < dfm host >
b. While DFM is downloaded and installed
Primary storage system
Primary System Name
NDMP user < root > , if no other users are defined
NDMP p/w < >
c. Telnet to port 10,000 and make sure that it can talk and not
blocked.
Diagnosis between DFM host and Filer
At host where DFM is downloaded
C:\> dfm host diag < primary filer >
DFM database files of windows host machine
C:\> dfm database get
dbDir c:/Program files/Network Appliance/Data Fabric Manager/DFM/Data
dblogDir
dbCacheSize
Snaplock
Vol create src1 –L 2
(at this point question is asked , read that carefully,
this volume cannot be deleted. It is one time)
vol create dst1 2
vol status
( you will see snaplock compliance vol here )
Snapmirror initialize –S giardia:src1 –L giadia:dst1
VIF
Create steps
a. vif create vif1 e0 e7a e6b e8 --------single mode
OR
Vif create multi vif0 e4 e10 ---- multi mode
b. ifconfig vif1 < ip of vif > netmask 255.255.255.0
mediatype 100tx -fd
c. update /etc/rc file
d. reboot
Tip 1
check filer > routed status
filer > routed ON
Tip 2
If there is 3 port ( eg : 2 Gig and 1 100 bast T Ethernet ) so that e0 ( default – 100 base T ) – e0 must be turned off
Vfiler
If the hosting filer administrator does not have CIFS or NFS access to the data contained in V filers, except for that in Vfiler0. After storage unit is assigned to a Vfiler, the hosting filer administrator loses access ot htat storage unit. The Vfiler administration gains access to the Vfiler by rsh to the Vfiler’s IP address.
As hosting filer administrator, before you create a Vfiler with the /vol/vol1 volume, you can configure the /etc/exports file so that you can mount the /vol/vol1 volume. After you create the Vfiler, an attempt to mount the /vol/vol1 volume would result in the Stale NFS file handle” error message. The Vfiler administrator can then edit the Vfiler’s /etc/exports file to export /vol/vol1, run the exportfs-a command on the Vfiler, tehn mount /vol/vol1, if allowed.
>ipspace create vfiler1-ipspace
>ipspace assign vfiler1 e3a
>ifconfig e3a 0.0.0.0
>ipspace destroy e3a_ipsapce
>ipspace list
>vfiler create vfiler2 -s vfiler2 -i 10.41.66.132 /vol/vfiler/vfiler2
>vfiler status -a
>vfiler status -r #running
>vfiler run vfiler1 setup
>vfiler stop|start|destroy
does it need to be started after setup?

Cache location
C:\documents and settings \ all users\application data\nuview\storage\server\cache
To change the location of the VFM application directory
<C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NuView\>, which contains the cache directory:
1.Take a snapshot of the application in case there is a need to return to the working state. This can be done through VFM in the Tools menu by selecting Take Application Snapshot Now. Have the user create a snapshot and save it.
2. Save a copy of the VFM application folder < C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NuView> somewhere for backup purposes.
3.Exit VFM and stop the StorageXReplicationAgent service and the StorageXServer service.
4. Create a folder on a different drive on the VFM server where the application directory should reside in the future. Please use a local destination for the folder for example D:\VFMAppData. A mapped drive does not work in this situation. Create a new subdirectory called NuView in the new location. Ex: D:\VFMAppData\NuView
5. Go to the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NuView directory and copy the StorageX directory to the new location created by the user under the NuView subdirectory. The new location should look something like this: D:\VFMAppData\NuView\StorageX
6. Open the registry with regedit.exe and find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NuView\StorageX key. Add a new String Value here with the name AppDataDir and set the value data to the root of the new cache location. Ex: D:\VFMAppData
7. Close regedit and start the StorageX Server and Replication Agent services.
8. Start VFM and wait as it reads through the new cache directory and loads roots and information that were copied to the new location.
Bakup media fundamentals
Ndmpd should be ON
To check
Filer> ndmpd status
Filer> ndmp probe 0 [ session 0 , can be from 0 – 5 ]
sysconfig –t ( will give some backup media information )
mt –f nrst0a status
restore tf nrst0a – display file list, there can be multiple
backups in backup file, which is filelist
mt –f nrst0a fsf 1
storage disable adapter <port>
storage enable adapter <port>
storage show tape supported - should show wwn if yes
(sysconfig –a – will tell port and also shows if adapter card online or offline – usually slot 10)
/etc/log/backup ----- log files
List all the files in backup
Filer> restore tf rst0a rewind (rewind the tape)
Filer> mt –f rst0a fsf 6 (move the head to file list6)
Filer> mt –f rst0a status ( make sure )
Filer> restore –xvbfDH 60 rst0a /vol/vol0/… ( restore )
Testing
Dump 0f rst0a /vol/vol0/etc/usermap.cfg ----- example
SCSI tape diagnostics to send vendor ( more detail messages )
Filer> mt –f diag 1 -------- ON
Filer > mt –f diag 0 -------------- OFF
Copy & paste console messages and send to vendor
( with diag 1 – ON, all the messages will go to etc/messages like when any backup job, command is executed like mt –f, rewind, offline , erase, status diag etc )
Some issues
a.
If veritas is showing RED to LTO tape devices, then reboot LTO and restart veritas services
b.
If backup is done from Veritas software, make sure that no sessions are staying back as cifs share sessions. Go to my computer->Manage->connect to filer->shares->sessions.
Administrative shares of backups are seen here as sticking – not going away even after backup is complete and you see huge list here.
Fiber channel backup device
Filer> Fcadmin online adapter 8a
