Hi,
The KB "How to use NDMP-based copy utilities (such as ndmpcopy) to copy data between the same or different modes of Data ONTAP" uses:
For 7-Mode:
Step 1: Enable NDMP and set a password on the source and destination storage systems.
- Enable NDMP:
netapp> ndmpd on - Create a new user specifically for NDMP:
netapp*> useradmin user add ndmp -g "Backup Operators"
New password: XXXXXXXXX
Retype new password: XXXXXXXXX
User <ndmp> added. - Non-root users have a special NDMP password that is different from their login password and is displayed by this command:
netapp> ndmpd password ndmp
password MzUV5p6R - Set NDMP to accept both plaintext and md5 authentication requests:
netapp> options ndmpd.authtype plaintext,challenge
Step 2: Determine the arguments for your NDMP based copy
For 7-Mode:
Authentication Type: Can be encrypted (called challenge or md5) or clear text (called text or clear-text); md5 / challenge is recommended
Hostname or IP: Hostname or IP address of the storage controller
Path: Path in the format /vol/volume (or /vol/volume/qtree or /vol/volume/qtree/file)
If running the Data ONTAP 7-Mode ndmpcopy command
Build a command line:
ndmpcopy -d -sa <source_user>:<source_pass> -st <auth_type> -da <dest_user>:<dest_pass> -dt <auth_type> <hostname_or_IP>:<source_path> <hostname_or_IP>:<dest_path>
Example syntax for a 7-Mode to 7-Mode NDMP-based copy by running the ndmpcopy command:
netapp> ndmpcopy -d -sa ndmp:v0smhhqZ -st md5 -da ndmp:v0smhhqZ -dt md5 10.64.31.43:/vol/chris2/qt2 10.64.31.43:/vol/chris2/qt2-copy
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
