1 ATTO FastStream NDMP 4600 features

)

The ATTO FastStream

NDMP 4600 offers performance, security and reliability using NDMP

(Network Data Management Protocol) for backup of network attached storage (NAS).

NDMP is an open protocol for managing data stored on network-attached storage devices such as tape and disks, controlling data backup and recovery between primary and secondary storage.

The ideal backup solution for an NAS filer is to attach a tape library directly to the network through the ATTO FastStream NDMP 4600 to take advantage of the improved management control and operating efficiency of shared backup. The FastStream NDMP 4600 controls the backup process, enabling filers to perform at maximum capacity.

The ATTO FastStream NDMP 4600, using the NDMP Version 4 Protocol Specification, allows you to back up critical data locally using any combination of network-attached servers, backup devices and management applications from a central control, without taxing network traffic, by separating the data path and the control path.

How NDMP works

The NDMP protocol allows data backup and restoration over Ethernet networks using file-level commands, rather than block-level IO instructions.

The typical NDMP setup includes

• a Data Server (usually disks)

• a Tape Server

• a client in control of the backup process called a Data Management Application (DMA).

The DMA controls the NDMP session. There is a master-slave relationship between the DMA and the data/tape servers. The FastStream NDMP 4600 implements the Tape Service, along with a SCSI Service, to provide access to media changer devices.

A typical NDMP application involves a drive array, a Host Computer and a tape library. The Host Computer may be attached to the disk and tape drives by any of several methods/technologies. The FastStream

Control

NDMP 4600 uses Ethernet and Internet protocols. The following example is a typical NDMP DMA, Data

Server and Tape Server interaction.

1 The DMA sends messages to the tape library’s

SCSI Server to pick the appropriate cartridge and load it in the tape drive.

2 The DMA sends commands to the tape drive to

position the tape and configure the tape for writing (block size, etc.).

3 The DMA opens a connection to the Data

Server to exchange backup information.

4 The DMA commands the Tape Server to

prepare to receive data.

5 The Tape Server responds with addressing

information.

6 The DMA passes the address to the Data

server.

7 The Data Server and Tape Server send data

directly to each other.

8 Metadata generated by the DMA is written to

tape to indicate the end of files, directories, path names, etc., passed through to the tape server between backup data transfers.

• NDMP uses a windowing mechanism in which the Tape Server writes a portion of the data, then pauses and waits for the DMA to take charge. The DMA may start a new window or write some Metadata.

Control + Metadata

(Library + FastStream NDMP 4600

• The DMA may also move the tape while the transfer is paused. Once the DMA has finished with the Metadata, a new window is established and the transfer from the Data Server to the Tape Server continues.

• The Data Server has no notification of the Tape Server being paused, so it must rely on the TCP stack to queue up data transferred during the pause time, and to implement flow control when queues are full.

Installation

2.1 Setting up NDMP

NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol) provides backup for network-attached storage (NAS) devices.

NAS devices are dedicated file servers and cannot host applications such as backup software. NDMP defines a common agent to interface between any NAS device and any backup software program, minimizing demand on network resources, and enabling local backups and disaster recovery.

Authentication by the server may require a client name-password pair, along with configuration of the security level (MD5, Text, or None) used for authentication. The FastStream NDMP 4600 does not validate the client-name, and a single password is used for all password fields within the FastStream NDMP 4600.

The NDMP port number is user-configurable, with the industry standard (10000) as the default.

NDMP device mapping links a SCSI btl (bus, target, LUN) to an ASCII device name.

Set NDMP version number and NDMP port numbers for each data port you wish to use and the NDMP authorization type for all ports. The default NDMP port number is 10000.

page.

Responses to get commands are specified in the

Results field for each command, followed by Ready.

• The set form is an action that changes the value of a parameter or configuration setting. It may require a SaveConfiguration command and a restart of the system before it is implemented. The restart can be accomplished as part of the SaveConfiguration command or by using a separate FirmwareRestart command. A number of set commands may be issued before the SaveConfiguration command.

Responses to set commands are either an error

message or Ready. *. The asterisk indicates you must use a SaveConfiguration command to finalize the set command. SaveConfiguration asks if you want to restart the system or not.

• Commands which do not require a SaveConfiguration command are immediately executed.

Responses to commands are either an error

message or data results followed by Ready.

Appendix A Cabling

Additional information to physically connect ports to devices and to your SAN.

SCSI cabling

Cables and devices must be chosen to maximize performance and minimize the electrical noise from the high-speed data transfers available with the SCSI protocol. Cabling and termination methods become important considerations for proper performance. SCSI cables and devices are subject to specific length and number limitations to deal with electrical problems that arise at increased operating speeds.

Cable types

Use high-quality cables rated for the type of SCSI transfers required: well-insulated SCSI cables ensure error free communications. Try to keep cable lengths as short as possible to ensure higher signal quality and performance.

Appendix exhibit 1 Various types of SCSI operate at different speeds and require different bus lengths to support a certain number of devices.

Examples

The SCSI specification limits total bus cable length for single-ended SCSI in a non-UltraSCSI environment to 3 meters (combined length of both internal and external cable lengths).

In an UltraSCSI workgroup environment with a 7drive tower, you are limited to 1.5 meters between the host and the tower, including the cabling for the tower. If the 7-drive tower requires 1 meter of cabling to connect all of its drives, the distance from the tower to the host must be .5 meters.

Note

UltraSCSI is very sensitive to SCSI bus noise, cable distances and the number of devices connected on the SCSI bus. Carefully connect your devices when working with UltraSCSI.

Connecting SCSI devices to SCSI ports

ATTO FastStream NDMP 4600 SCSI ports connect SCSI storage devices to the network. Each SCSI port is completely independent from the other SCSI port.

Each SCSI port is a bus capable of supporting 15 devices and each bus is capable of 40, 80, 160 or

320 MB/sec. (Ultra, Ultra2, Ultra 160 or Ultra

320) transfer rates.

You may use externally provided striping software to create a RAID 0 group that includes devices from both SCSI busses to increase overall performance.

Each SCSI bus auto-negotiates the appropriate sync rates with the connected devices. If slower

ATTO Technology Inc. FastStream Installation and Operation Manual

devices are mixed with faster devices, the bus communicates at the rate of the slowest device, thus wasting the performance capabilities of the faster devices. Connect slower devices to one SCSI port and connect faster devices to the other port.

The FastStream NDMP 4600 supports a wide variety of SCSI storage devices including standalone drives, removable drives, JBODs, RAIDs, tape, CD and DVD drives, changers and libraries.

1 Connect the cable from the SCSI device to a

VHDCI SCSI port on the FastStream NDMP

4600.

2 Check the type of cable, cable length limit and

number of devices recommended for the port. See Exhibit 1.

Keep cable lengths as short as possible to

ensure the highest signal quality and performance. These cable lengths include the wiring inside the devices.

Ethernet connections

3 Set the IDs of the SCSI devices connected to

the FastStream NDMP 4600 to a value other

than 7.

Use a sequential ID starting at 0 for each

device. The SCSI port in the ATTO FastStream

NDMP 4600 has an internal factory setting ID of

7, typical for a SCSI initiator device.

Note

The entire SCSI bus operates at the speed of the slowest device on that bus. If you wish to mix devices of different SCSI speeds, place the devices on separate busses. That is, put the slower devices on FastStream NDMP 4600 SCSI port 1, and the faster devices on FastStream NDMP 4600 SCSI port 2. Each bus is independent so each can operate at different speeds.

Terminate the SCSI bus after the last device.

The FastStream NDMP 4600 is terminated

internally.

Use at least Cat 5e cable to connect the Ethernet ports to your network.

Note

For best performance, all cabling, network interface cards (NICs), host bus adapters (HBAs), and network switches must be Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), and at least Cat 5e certified. Most standard offices use 2-pair wiring which is not compatible. GbE requires 4-pair wiring.

For best performance, support for 9014 byte jumbo frames should be available for all switches and host NDMP equipment.

Before you begin installing the FastStream NDMP 4600 Ethernet ports, be sure to check or complete the following:

• If you are managing your NDMP system across a WAN and your system uses a firewall, be sure that the following ports are open and available:

If you are using the TCP protocol

• telnet (port 23)

• http (port 80)

• ftp (ports 20 and 21)

• NDMP (port 3260)

• iSNS (port 3705)

If you are using the UDP protocol

• ntp (port 123)

• Be sure your host system(s) is set up and configured.

• Your host system can use any of three different types of cards: a network interface card (NIC), a TCP/IP offload engine card (TOE), or a storage network interface card (SNIC).

• The ATTO driver file from the CD included with your FastStream NDMP 4600 or from the ATTO website, www.attotech.com, is installed on your host.

• The switch has been configured to forward UDP broadcast messages.

• The minimum requirement for Windows-based browsers is Internet Explorer 5.5 or Netscape Navigator 6.2. The minimum requirement for Macintosh browsers is Internet Explorer 5.2 or Safari 1.2.

• Ethernet speed defaults to auto; the FastStream NDMP 4600 determines the speed and set other parameters based on the speed.
