NDMP Implementation Guide for the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance
With the large number of backup configurations and applications available today, it can be confusing how best to design a data protection architecture for important business data. This paper describes the implementation and configuration details for Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) backups on the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance, using a variety of industry-leading backup applications: Oracle Secure Backup 10.3.0.2, *Symantec NetBackup 7.0, *and EMC Legato Networker 7.6.
In addition to application-specific configuration information this paper describes trade-offs typical in backup topologies and offers a new method of performing NDMP backups that is available with the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance 2010.Q3 software release.

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.

NOTES

       The ndmpd daemon is managed by the service management facility (smf(5)), under the service identifier:

	 svc:/system/ndmpd:default

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed  using  svcadm(1M).  The  ser-
       vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
