Hi everyone,
I need to save backups in a Dell Emc ISILON storage, is this possible? Wich is the best recomandation for this?
I try with "Configure disk storage server" but the only option for storage is "Netapp".
Actually we use this storage only for take backup´s (NDMP)
Hello,
when you review HCL for NetBackup 7.7 (https://www.veritas.com/bin/support/docRepoServlet?bookId=NB_77_HCL&requestType=pdf) and also for 8.x, there is no mention that Isilon can be used as a target device with some added value (like deduplication etc.). So on a target side, you can probably use it as a mere UNC-presented basic disk target only.
You metioned that as for a source side, you use NDMP backup for it. Remember that since NBU 8.1, you can configure these backups with Accelerator (https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/doc/103228346-127350715-0/v125051485-127350715).

Did you add it as an NDMP host under credentials before trying to setup a storage server?
I am also confused about your requirement.
If you want to use the Isilon as backup target, then NDMP does not play any role.
If you want to backup data residing on the Isilon to tape (we know that you have LTO8 tape), then you need NDMP.
For backup target, the storage can be added as Basic Disk or Advanced Disk using UNC paths.
Basic Disk capability is included in base traditional NBU server license.
Advanced disk needs DPOO license. Included if you have Capacity license.
To config Isilon as backup target, please see this TN on how to config credentials:

Hi Marianne,
At present i use the isilon for take backup to tape (NDMP).
Now i need to save backups in ISILON (Virtual machines), the best solutions for this is use CIFS?
Hello,
it is not the best solution, it is the only solution.
Also it is not appropriate usage of Isilon, the same purpose can be served by a much cheaper storage.
