To configure NDMP parameters from the CLI, use the following command:
ibrix_ndmpconfig -c [-d IP1,IP2,IP3,...] [-m MINPORT] [-x MAXPORT] [-n LISTENPORT]
[-u USERNAME] [-p PASSWORD] [-e {0=disable,1=enable}] -v [{0=10}] [-w BYTES]
[-z NUMSESSIONS]
NDMP process management
All NDMP actions are usually controlled from the DMA. However, if the DMA cannot resolve a
problem or you suspect that the DMA may have incorrect information about the NDMP environment,
take the following actions from the GUI or CLI:
• Cancel one or more NDMP sessions on a file serving node. Canceling a session stops all
spawned sessions processes and frees their resources if necessary.
• Reset the NDMP server on one or more file serving nodes. This step stops all spawned session
processes, stops the ndmpd and session monitor daemons, frees all resources held by NDMP,
and restarts the daemons.
Viewing or canceling NDMP sessions
To view information about active NDMP sessions, select Cluster Configuration from the Navigator,
and then select NDMP Backup > Active Sessions. For each session, the Active NDMP Sessions
panel lists the host used for the session, the identifier generated by the backup application, the
status of the session (backing up data, restoring data, or idle), the start time, and the IP address
used by the DMA.
To cancel a session, select that session and click Cancel Session. Canceling a session kills all
spawned sessions processes and frees their resources if necessary.
To see similar information for completed sessions, select NDMP Backup > Session History.
View active sessions from the CLI:
ibrix_ndmpsession -l
View completed sessions:
ibrix_ndmpsession -l -s [-t YYYY-MM-DD]
The -t option restricts the history to sessions occurring on or before the specified date.
Cancel sessions on a specific file serving node:
ibrix_ndmpsession -c SESSION1,SESSION2,SESSION3,... -h HOST
Starting, stopping, or restarting an NDMP Server
When a file serving node is booted, the NDMP Server is started automatically. If necessary, you
can use the following command to start, stop, or restart the NDMP Server on one or more file
serving nodes:
ibrix_server -s -t ndmp -c { start | stop | restart} [-h SERVERNAMES]
