You must configure the NetApp file server connection information
to run the snapshot difference incremental backup command on the Tivoli® Storage
Manager client. You
must also use the set password command to specify
the file server host name, and the password and user name that is
used to access the file server.
- Establish a console session on the NetApp filer
and define a new user on the file server by using the following steps:
- Add the user ID to a group that permits users to log
in to the file server with http and running API commands.
- From the file server, enter the following command to
list the user ID to verify the settings and verify that the output
is similar:
useradmin user list snapdiff_user
Name: snapdiff_user
Info:
Rid: 131077
Groups: snapdiff_group
Full Name:
Allowed Capabilities: login-http-admin,api-*
- If the security.passwd.firstlogin.enable option
for the user ID on the NetApp server is set to on,
ensure that all groups have the login-telnet and cli–passwd* capabilities.
Tip: When security.passwd.firstlogin.enable option
is enabled, the user ID is set to expired when created.
The user cannot run any commands, including snapshot difference incremental,
until their password is changed. Users in groups that do not have
these capabilities cannot log in to the storage system. Refer to the
NetApp documentation for details on defining a user ID and a password
on the NetApp file server.
- Optional: Configure the NetApp Data ONTAP built-in HTTP
server. Perform this step only if you do not plan to use an HTTPS
connection for snapshot differential backups (by specifying the -snapdiffhttps option).
- The HTTP server must be running. Verify that the NetApp httpd.enable option
is set to on.
- You need administrative access to the filer when you
use HTTP. Verify that the NetApp httpd.admin.enable option
is set to on.
- From the Tivoli Storage
Manager client node,
test the connection between the Tivoli Storage
Manager client computer
and the NetApp ONTAP server to ensure that firewalls or other NetApp
configuration options do not prevent you from connecting to the NetApp server.
Tip: See the NetApp ONTAP documentation for
instructions on how to test the connection.
- Export the NetApp volumes and consider
the following settings:
Tip: See the NetApp
documentation for details on exporting the NetApp volumes for use
with Windows.
- Map the NetApp volumes by using CIFS.
- Ensure the NetApp volumes have the NTFS security setting.
- Export the NetApp volumes and consider
the following settings:
Tip: See
the NetApp documentation for details on exporting the NetApp volumes
for use with AIX®, or Linux hosts.
- Map the NetApp volumes by using an NFS mount.
- Ensure the NetApp volumes have the UNIX security
setting
- Set the user ID, and password on Tivoli Storage
Manager client for
the user ID that you created in step 1 using the following steps:
- Log in as the root user ID.
- Log on as the user with read/write
access to the CIFS share.
- From the Tivoli Storage
Manager client command
line, enter the following command:
dsmc set password –type=filer my_file_server snapdiff_user newPassword
Substitute
the following values:- my_file_server
- This value is the fully qualified host name of your NetApp file
server.
- snapdiff_user
- This value is the user ID that you created in step 1.
- newPassword
- This value is the password for the user ID that you created in
step 1.
