David,
        We share SAN attached drives between NDMP and normal Networker backups, 
but we use AlphaStor to take care of the tape movement and drive sharing (the 
library is set up as having 14 logical drives, 10 for Networker and 4 for NDMP, 
there are only 10 drives so 4 of them can also be accessed by NDMP).

        The NAS will need to see the tapes (consult your documentation, there 
should be a command to show what devices can be seen). 

        As far as I'm aware (because I don't use it), DDS can share devices 
between NDMP and standard Networker format - you will have to keep the media 
apart by using different pools - hmm, I guess that sounds pretty obvious, eh?

Good luck
Bob

Subject: [Networker] NDMP Question


Hi all,


        Only any question about NDMP



       1. Imagine that you have an actual enviroment:

                        Legato Netowrker 7.1.2 (W2K)
                        STK library L 40 with 2 drives LTO. This library is 
configurated to the Networker server in a SAN environment.

                
                Now, you add a new NAS in your environment, and you want run a 
NDMP backup for this Celerra.

    Is it possible with a NDMP Tape Server software installed in your Legato 
Networker server, will work with the same drive with NDMP Backup and "normal" 
backup ?

   And if it´s possible then ..


        Is it necessary configure the library with DDS, and is it mandatory 
that the Celerra NAS can see the drive ?

I can not use a drive only for NDMP backup. I need run mixed backup to the 
drive/s.

Any suggestion

Thanks in advance

Rgds,

David
