Specifying NAS Volumes Using the DMA
To perform backup and restore operations, the DMA server must be configured to be able to access the FluidFS cluster.
On each DMA server, you must configure the following components:
● Client VIP (or a DNS name) that the DMA server accesses. If you 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)
