Setting up Ndmp, Procedure | ATTO Technology 2500C instruction

Setting up NDMP

The ATTO iPBridge should first be configured for the network using the RS-232 port to establish the correct IP address, subnet mask, gateway and iPBridge names. Authentication can require the use of a client name-password pair, along with configuration of the security level (MD5, Text, or None) used for authentication. The iPBridge 2500 does not validate the client-name, and a single password is used for all password fields within the iPBridge 2500.

The NDMP port number is user-configurable, with the industry standard (10000) as the default.

NDMP device mapping links a SCSI btl (bus, target, LUN) to an ASCII device name. If you do not use the default mapping, you must map devices before using NDMP.

Procedure

1Configure IP addresses, subnet masks, IP gateways and iPBridge names if necessary (refer to Getting an IP address on page 10) for each port. Defaults are IP address 10.0.0.1; subnet mask 255.255.0.0

2Configure mapping for SCSI devices (refer to Mapping devices: NDMP on page 13).

3Set NDMP version number and NDMP port numbers for each data port you wish to use and the NDMP authorization type for all ports. The default NDMP port number is 10000.

4Enter the NDMP Max Version and Port Number in the Ethernet Port Configuration
