NDMP FC and Ethernet Transport together

[steve75]

Hi All,

I have an Appliance functioning as a master/media. There is an existing ndmp configuration with a Netapp device running over FC to a tape library.

I want to use the Appliance as a ndmp target backing up the same Netapp but over ethernet. Is it possible to run the both configurations simultaneously?

Thanks

Yes, if you change the storage unit to use the appliance storage unit it will transfer over ETH to appliance.

Yes, however you'll be using a different method of NDMP backup, so-called three-way NDMP versus direct when tapes attached directly to the NetApp.

There was an awesome overview of NBU for NDMP published recently, have a look http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/netbackup-76-blueprints-ndmp
