tape drives are still visible from VNX perspective ?

server_devconfig server_2 -create -scsi -nondisks

server_devconfig server_2 -list -scsi -nondisks

can you telnet to port 10000 on an interface assigned to server_2 ?

yep, that's good ..datamover is listening on port 10000. What do you see in datamover logs when you try to initiate that command from Backup Exec

server_log server_2

Hi,

I tried it with this command from cmd:

telnet 192.198.16.80 10000

this was the output:

hmm..why is it trying to use your domain account and not the login account "ndmp"

the only errors from the server_log of NDMP are theses:

Hi dynamox,

I am sorry for the delay, it is just to test, I have tested with a domain account.

Hi dynamox,

Do you know how can I turn the NDMP debug log on?

Thank you.

Goal

How to turn on/off the EMC NDMP debug mode for troubleshooting.

Facts

NDMP

NetWorker for Windows

NetWorker for Linux

NetWorker for UNIX

EMC Celerra

Resolution

Here are the steps to turn on/off the EMC NDMP debug mode on EMC Celerra:

1. Turn on the NDMP high debug on the DataMover where the tape devices are attached.
The reference to {server_name} in the command string should be replaced with the DataMover Server name:

.server_config {server_name} "logsys set severity NDMP=LOG_DBG2"

If PAX debug is also required, enabled PAX debug using

NOTE: This command starts with a dot (.) and the syntax must be exact).

2. After you have run the backup using NetWorker, turn off the NDMP high debug using the following command: 

.server_config {server_name} "logsys set severity NDMP=LOG_PRINTF"

.server_config {server_name} "logsys set severity PAX=LOG_PRINTF"

NOTE: The command begins with a dot (.).

3. Copy the server log file which will contain the debug output. This is accomplished by running the server_log command on the Celerra box and redirecting the output to a file:
/nas/bin/server_log -s > {filename}
where {filename} is the name of the file where the server_log output will be captured.
