NDMP Host not listed when creating a new Storage Unit

I know there has been a thread on this already but it is now closed, so need to start another. Old Thread: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/ndmp-host-not-listing-when-creating-new-storage-unit

  • Net Backup Version: 7.5
  • Media Server: Windows Server 2008
  • Current SAN: 8.1.4P1 7-Mode
  • New SAN: 8.2.3 Cluster-Mode

We have zoned in the new SAN (See above) but the NDMP Host is not showing when creating a new Storage Unit. All the current ones show fine.

If I run: nbemmcmd -listhosts -verbose I get the new Host listed along with the current ones.

If I run: tpautoconf -verify <filername> It passes the login and is successfully authenticated.

If I run: tpautoconf -probe <filername> It returns no results for the new Host.

 

Is there anything else that could be missing for the drives to see the new Host?

  • Have you added devices yet for NDMP host?

    Probably not, as  tpautoconf -probe <filername>  does not report any devices.

    Check devices on the filer with this command: 
    sysconfig -t

    STU can only be added after adding devices and restarting NBU on media server assigned as NDMP media server.
