Hi, I am setting up a backup using NDMP devices and I have successfully used the tpconfig -add command to set up the NDMP host and it is listed in Netbackup NDMP credentials (netbackup 7.5) . I can also use the tpautoconf to verify that the connection is working.I can also use the probe command to receive information on the tape devices.
When I attempt to create the NDMP devices in netbackup (using wizard OR devices->tapes) I do not see the host listed so I cannot select it as the host which has the NDMP tape devices. I can see three hosts in the list but these are the existing master and 2 media servers. Without having this NDMP host listed I don't believe I can create the NDMP tape devices.
When I edit the existing tape devices or seleact add new tape device I can state NDMP device but the host list is blank. I cannot type on the name of the host although I can type in the device path of the tape device.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? It looks as though the list of hosts has not been updated. I have run the nbemmcmd list host command and it returns the NDMP host
The tape devices are shared devices which already exist and configured on the windows master/media servers. The NDMP tape devices are presented to a VNX5300 and these are configured successfully as tape devices on the VNX.
Perhaps I need some way of updating the netbackup software to display the NDMP device ( I have not restarted netbackup master server services yet as backups running)
Thanks for any advice.
