ndmp backup failed - NDMP connection is not authorized on host
Hi all!
I have networker server 7.5.1 and EMC Celerra NX4 (DART version 5.6.43.8). On Celerra I have config CIFS server joned to domain. I want to backup my file share use NDMP backup. I have license for NDMP backup.
My CIFS server called - "ndmp2"
Full path to data \\ndmp2\ndmpshare
I have config networker ndmp client (it is called "ndmp2") and set client with backup command by "nsrndmp_save -M -T dump". In client save set I specify "/ndmpshare".
I use disk backup on networker server. It is no any devices connect to networker. It is no ndmp devices.
In remote user I have use root (or nasadmin). I tried to use the user Administrator with which I have access at connection of a network resource (file share) in windows.
When I start group it will show error as:
1 retry attempted
No full backups of this save set were found in the media database; performing a full backup
NDMP Service Debug: The process id for NDMP service is 0xfaba2fe0
42597:nsrndmp_save: connect auth: connection has not been authorized
42610:nsrndmp_save: The NDMP connection is not successfully authorized on host 'ndmp2'.
42884:nsrndmp_save: Not able to connect or authorize the client 'ndmp2'
Let me try to clarify. If I am understanding correctly you are attempting to backup the CIFS share using the UNC pathname where the filesystem (CIFS share) is mapped to your windows machine. Is this correct?
If the above assumption is correct, you cannot do an NDMP backup pointing to this mapped drive on the windows box. You would have to do a regular NetWorker proprietary backup just as you would for any other drive (C, D, etc.) on the at windows machine.
NDMP is a protocol that makes a TCP/IP connection to the NAS filer (Celerra datamover in this case). It then calls the native backup utility that is part of the Operating system on the NAS filer to generate the backup image.
If you truly want to do an NDMP backup of this "CIFS share" you must configure the datamover for NDMP operations, setup an NDMP account on the datamover, define your NetWorker server and datamover in your DNS or NIS network and then configure a NetWorker client for NDMP using the hostname or IP address of the datamover.
There is a really good guide on Powerlink which outlines the steps for configuring NDMP Backups on Celerra with the various Backup Software that is supported.....of course NetWorker is one of them. The guide can be found at the following URL.
You should backup data mover - not CIFS server (which if I understand correctly here is the server where you mount your shares). So, you need to create used on your server_x and do backup of savesets (which you can easily see with server_mount command).
Sorry, I cann't understand why I should backup data mover? The networker server don't know about data mover "server_2". The networker has know about cifs server. When I have use name of it ("ndmp2") I can create client of networker. I need to backup some data from my file shares, not all file system of data mover Celerra. Sorry, can you explain again, please?
Thanks! Now all works! This document has helped me to solve my problem. The problem was as I and assumed in the user (remote user). And I not correctly specified save set. It was necessary to fill out a name of filesystem, instead of the name of a CIFS share.
