When NETAPPDUMP, CELERRADUMP, or NDMPDUMP are designated
as the type of storage pool, managing the storage pools produced by
NDMP (network data management protocol) operations is different from
managing storage pools containing media for traditional Tivoli® Storage
Manager backups.
You can query and update storage pools. You cannot update the DATAFORMAT
parameter.
You cannot designate a Centera storage pool as a target pool of
NDMP operations.
Maintaining separate storage pools for data from different NAS
vendors is suggested even though the data format for both is NDMPDUMP.
The following DEFINE STGPOOL and UPDATE STGPOOL parameters are
ignored because storage pool hierarchies, reclamation, and migration
are not supported for these storage pools:
- MAXSIZE
- NEXTSTGPOOL
- LOWMIG
- HIGHMIG
- MIGDELAY
- MIGCONTINUE
- RECLAIMSTGPOOL
- OVFLOLOCATION
Attention: Ensure that you do not accidentally use storage
pools that were defined for NDMP operations in traditional Tivoli Storage
Manager operations.
Be especially careful when you assign the storage pool name as the
value for the DESTINATION parameter of the DEFINE
COPYGROUP command. Unless the destination is a storage pool
with the appropriate data format, the backup fails.
