Because each NDMP vendor has different limitations, there are some advanced configuration settings that might be required to protect your NDMP device. To access the advanced configuration options, go to the Settings > System, Updates, and Licensing > General Configuration [Advanced] and click NDMP.
The following advanced settings are available:
Setting |
Description |
---|---|
DAR |
DAR is on (DAR=1) by default. Unitrends uses Direct Access Recovery (DAR) to restore NDMP backups. Note for NetApp devices: DAR only works with ONTAP version 8.0 and later. If using an earlier version of ONTAP, disable DAR by setting DAR=0. |
IPv4Address |
Blank by default. Unitrends automatically attempts to use the eth0 or seth0 IPv4Address. If your environment is configured with either of these IP addresses, it is retrieved and used. If you have neither eth0 nor seth0 configured in your environment, you must enter an IP address in this field and restart NDMP services. (This is most common in the case of bonded NICs.) Entering an IP address in this field will override eth0 or seth0. |
Username |
The NDMP daemon username defaults to ndmp. If you change the username, NDMP services must be restarted. |
Password |
The NDMP daemon password defaults to unitrendsndmp. If you change the password, NDMP services must be restarted. |
Maximum Running NDMP Jobs |
The maximum number of running NDMP sessions per NAS NDMP client. This value is accessible only from terminal. For more information, see KB 1815. |
NDMP services must be restarted on Unitrends appliances if the IPv4Address or NDMP daemon username or password is changed.
1 Using a terminal emulator, such as PuTTY, connect to the Unitrends appliance.
2 Log in using the administrative account.
3 Run the following command:
service unitrends-ndmp restart
