NAME

ndmpd - manages NDMP service

SYNOPSIS

ndmpd [ on | off | status | probe [ session ] | kill [ ses_sion ] | version [ version ] ]

DESCRIPTION

The ndmpd command controls and displays information about the daemon responsible for providing Network Data Management Protocol service.

OPTIONS

on
Enables NDMP request-handling by the daemon.

off
Disables NDMP request-handling by the daemon. Processing continues for requests that are already in progress. New requests are rejected. By default, NDMP service is disabled at system startup.

status
Displays the current state of NDMP service.

probe [ session ] Displays diagnostic information about the specified session. If session is not specified, information about all sessions is displayed.

kill [ session ] Signals the specified session to stop processing its current requests and move to an inactive state. If session is not specified, all active sessions are signaled. This allows hung sessions to be cleared without the need for a reboot, since the off command waits until all sessions are inactive before turning off the NDMP service.

version [ version ]
Displays which NDMP versions are supported by the current software release. Can be limited to "version 1 only" by providing an argument. By default (after a reboot), version 1 and 2 are supported.

EXAMPLES

Check supported NDMP versions and set to v1 only:

  ndmpd version

User Commands                                         na_ndmpd(1)
