NDMP operations management
There are several administrator activities for NDMP operations.
- Managing NAS file server nodes
You can query, update, rename, and remove NAS file server nodes. - Managing data movers that are used in NDMP operations
You can query, update, and delete the data movers that you define for NAS file servers. - Dedicating a Tivoli Storage Manager drive to NDMP operations
If you are already using a drive for Tivoli® Storage Manager operations, you can dedicate that drive to NDMP operations. - Storage pool management for NDMP operations
When NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP, or NDMPDUMP is designated as the storage-pool type, managing the storage pools that are produced by NDMP operations is different from managing storage pools that contain media for traditional Tivoli Storage Manager backups. - Managing tables of contents
You can use several commands to manage different aspects of your data contents. - Preventing long-running, inactive NDMP connections from closing
To prevent firewalls from closing NDMP connections that are long-running but inactive, you can enable Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keepalive on the NDMP control connections.
