Use this command to define a data mover. A
data mover is
a named device that accepts a request from Tivoli® Storage
Manager to transfer
data and can be used to perform outboard copy operations.
See the documentation
for your device for guidance on
specifying the parameters for this command.
Privilege
class
To issue this command, you
must have system privilege or unrestricted storage privilege.

Parameters
- data_mover_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the data mover. This name must be the
same as a node name that you previously registered using the REGISTER
NODE TYPE=NAS command. The data that is backed up from this NAS data
mover will be assigned to this node name in the server database. A
maximum of 64 characters can be used to specify the name.
- Type=NAS (Required)
- Specifies that the
data mover is a NAS file server.
- HLAddress (Required)
- Specifies
either the numerical IP address or the domain name,
which are used to access the NAS file server.
- LLAddress
- Specifies the TCP
port number to access the NAS device for Network
Data Management Protocol (NDMP) sessions. This parameter is optional.
The default value is 10000.
- USERid (Required)
- Specifies the user ID for
a user that is authorized to initiate
an NDMP session with the NAS file server. For example, enter the administrative
ID for a NetApp file server.
- PASsword (Required)
- Specifies the password
for the user ID to log onto the NAS file
server.
- ONLine
- Specifies whether the data mover is available for use. This
parameter
is optional. The default is YES.
- Yes
- The default value. Specifies that the data
mover is available
for use.
- No
- Specifies that the data mover is not available for use. When the
hardware is being maintained, you can use the UPDATE DATAMOVER command
to set the data mover off-line.
Important: If a library
is controlled using a path from a NAS data mover to the library, and
the NAS data mover is offline, the server will not be able to access
the library. If the server is halted and restarted while the NAS data
mover is offline, the library will not be initialized.
- DATAFormat (Required)
- Specifies the data format that is used
by this data mover.
- NETAPPDump
- NETAPPDUMP must
be used for NetApp NAS file
servers and the IBM® System Storage® N Series.
- CELERRADump
- CELERRADUMP must
be used for EMC Celerra
NAS file servers.
- NDMPDump
- NDMPDump must be used for NAS
file servers
other than NetApp or EMC file servers.
Example: Define a data
mover for a NetApp file server
by IP address
Define a data mover for the NAS node named NAS1.
The numerical IP address for the data mover is 9.67.97.103, at port
10000. The NAS file server is a NetApp device.
define datamover nas1 type=nas hladdress=9.67.97.103 lladdress=10000 userid=root
password=admin dataformat=netappdump
Example: Define a data mover by domain name
Define
a data mover for the node named NAS1. The domain name for the data
mover is, NETAPP2.TUCSON.IBM.COM at port 10000.
define datamover nas1 type=nas hladdress=netapp2.tucson.ibm.com lladdress=10000
userid=root password=admin dataformat=netappdump
Example: Define a data mover by IP address
Define
a data mover for the node named NAS1. The numerical IP address for
the data mover is 9.67.97.103, at port 10000. The NAS file server
is neither a NetApp or an EMC file server.
define datamover nas1 type=nas hladdress=9.67.97.103 lladdress=10000
userid=root password=admin dataformat=ndmpdump
