Help with NDMP Exclusions (NetApp)
Hi Guys,
The following path contains 1000's of user folders on the SAN:
//GUINNESS-FAS02:10000/vol/PROD_FILE1_DATA_02_CIFS/Q_userhome/
The top-level 'Userhome' directory is selected, which in turn selects all the folders within it (all 3000 of them)
How do I use the EXCLUDE function please? I would like to exclude all folders that begin with 'A'.
Before you answer, perhaps the following info will help.
I was able to work out how to use the INCLUDE function. This include basically means nothing is selected under the top-level folder of 'Userhome'. I then specified the following settings using the 'include/exclude' option in BEXEC:
NDMP
NETAPP/IBM/FUJITSU
INCLUDE
Resource Selection Path = //GUINNESS-FAS02:10000/vol/PROD_FILE1_DATA_02_CIFS/Q_userhome/A*/
This path now selects and INCLUDES every folder under 'userhome' beginning with the letter 'A'.
The problem is that when you run the job it goes from pre-processing to running and fails with:
NDMP Log Message: DUMP: Dumping /vol/PROD_FILE1_DATA_02_CIFS to NDMP connection NDMP Log Message: DUMP: mapping (Pass I)[regular files] NDMP Log Message: DUMP: Reading file names from NDMP. NDMP Log Message: DUMP: Q_userhome/A*: No such file or directory NDMP Log Message: DUMP: DUMP IS ABORTED
I raised the above error in a seperate Symantec Forum and was informed of the following URL,

The article explains an issue regarding wildcard INCLUSIONS and NetApp.
As inclusions do not work, I wanted to try EXCLUSIONS to see if it offered any success. Does anyone know how to do this please?
