NAME
ndmpd - Network Data Management Protocol daemon SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ndmpd [-d] DESCRIPTION
The ndmpd daemon handles client Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) requests. NDMP is an open, enterprise-wide, network-based data man- agement protocol used for backup and recovery. The ndmpd daemon enables users to manage data backup and recovery using Data Management Application (DMA) clients. The NDMP protocol is used to coordinate data movement and control between a DMA and an NDMP server or between two NDMP servers. By default, ndmpd is disabled. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -d Debugging mode; log file will be created. EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion. 1 An error occurred that prevented the ndmpd daemon from initializing, such as failure to fork a process, mutex initialization. 2 Invalid command-line options were specified. FILES
/usr/lib/ndmp/ndmpd Network data management protocol server binary. /var/ndmp/ndmp.log Network data management protocol log messages file. This file is deleted upon reboot. /var/ndmp/dumpdates A text file that stores information about the date and the level of dump backups. ATTRIBUTES

NAME
rpc.smserverd - removable media device server SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/smedia/rpc.smserverd DESCRIPTION
rpc.smserverd is a server that handles requests from client applications, including the Volume Management daemon (vold(1M)), for access to removable media devices. In addition to vold, rmformat(1) and the CDE Filemanager (when performing removable media operations) are rpc.smserverd clients. The rpc.smserverd daemon is started by inetd(1M) when a client makes a call to a Solaris-internal library to access a SCSI, IDE, or USB device. The daemon is not started if a client attempts to access a floppy or PCMCIA device. Once started, the daemon remains active until such time as it is idle for three minutes or more. The rpc.smserverd daemon is provided for the exclusive use of the client applications mentioned above. It has no external, customer-acces- sible interfaces, including no configuration file.
