NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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.

kill [ session ] Signals the specified session to stop processing its current requests and move to an inactive state. If ses_sion 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

  ndmpd version
  NDMP server supports v1 & v2.

  ndmpd version 1
  ndmpd version
  NDMP server supports v1 only.

Check the status of all NDMP sessions:

  ndmpd status
  ndmpd ON.
  Session: 0
    Active
    tape device:    nrst0m
    data state:     Idle
    data operation: None
    mover state:    Idle
  Session: 1
    Inactive
  Session: 2
    Inactive
  Session: 3
    Inactive
  Session: 4
    Inactive

The following should be added to the /etc/rc file to enable NDMP service at system startup.

ndmpd on
