Follow the steps
given below to create and configure the NAS client for a first SnapProtect
backup. If the data you want to backup resides on a vFiler, configure the vFiler
as the NAS client.
1.
|
From the CommCell Browser, right-click the Client Computers node
and click New Client. |
|
2. |
- Select NAS Client from the drop-down list.
- Click OK.
|
|
3. |
- Provide the File Server details to add the NDMP Server.
For any ONTAP version, do not provide the host name or IP address of
the management port (e.g., e0M). Use
the host name or IP address of a data port (e.g.,
e0A, e0B).
- Click Detect.
- Click OK.
A new client is created and listed under the
Client Computers node. The default subclient is created
automatically.

Any NAS storage device that will be used for backing up secondary
storage data (Vault, Mirror or backup copy) must be configured as a
NAS Client in the CommCell with the same name that is used by the
DFM server to communicate to the secondary NAS file server. |

From the CommCell Browser, right-click the NAS client just created and select
Properties.

client, do not include the root volume. |
