Change the NDMP User Name
A user name and password are required when conguring an NDMP server in the DMA. By default, the user name is backup_user.
You can change this user name if needed.
1. Click the Storage view and select a FluidFS cluster.
2. Click the File System tab.
3. In the System tab navigation pane, select Data Protection.
4. In the right pane, click the Backups tab.
5. In the right pane, click Edit Settings. The Modify NDMP Settings dialog box appears.

7. Click OK.
Change the NDMP Client Port
By default, the NDMP server monitors port 10000 for incoming connections. You can change the client port to match the port used
by the DMA.
1. Click the Storage view and select a FluidFS cluster.
2. Click the File System tab.
3. In the File System tab navigation pane, select Data Protection.
4. In the right pane, click the Backup tab.

Specifying NAS Volumes Using the DMA
To perform backup and restore operations, the DMA server must be congured to be able to access the FluidFS cluster.
On each DMA server, you must congure the following components:
• Client VIP (or a DNS name) that the DMA server accesses. If you ever change the client VIP, you must also make the appropriate
change on the DMA servers.
NOTE: NDMP has no load balancing built in. A single DMA backing up 10 NAS volumes from a single client VIP forces
all 10 sessions on the same NAS controller. Therefore, use DNS round-robin to provide load balancing by specifying
the DNS name of the FluidFS cluster in the DMA.
• NDMP user name and password (default user name is backup_user).
• Port that the NDMP server monitors for incoming connections (default port is 10000).
(Optional) In addition, some DMA servers require more information like host name, of the FluidFS cluster, OS type, product name ,
and vendor name.
• Host name of the FluidFS cluster, which uses the following format: <controller_number>.<FluidFS_cluster_name>
• OS type: Dell Fluid File System
• Product: Compellent FS8600
• Vendor: Dell
Most backup applications automatically list the available NAS volumes to back up. Otherwise, you can manually type in the NAS
volume path. The FluidFS cluster exposes backup NAS volumes at the following path:
/<NAS_volume_name>
