Enabling node-scoped NDMP on the cluster

You can configure node-scoped NDMP by enabling node-scoped NDMP on the cluster and NDMP service on all nodes of the cluster. You must also configure the root user for NDMP when enabling the NDMP service.

1. Enable node-scoped NDMP mode by using the system services ndmp command with the node-scope-mode parameter.

   Example

   cluster1::> system services ndmp node-scope-mode on
   NDMP node-scope-mode is enabled.
   
2. Enable NDMP service on all nodes in the cluster by using the system services ndmp on command.

   Using the wildcard * enables NDMP service on all nodes at the same time.

   You must specify a password for authentication of the NDMP connection by the backup application.

   Example

   cluster1::> system services ndmp on -node *
   
   Please enter password:
   Confirm password:
   2 entries were modified.
   
3. Disable the -clear-text option for secure communication of the NDMP password by using the system services ndmp modify command.

   Using the wildcard * disables the -clear-text option on all nodes at the same time.

   Example

   cluster1::> system services ndmp modify -node * -clear-text false 
   2 entries were modified.
   
   
4. Verify that NDMP service is enabled and the -clear-text option is disabled by using the system services ndmp show command.

   Example

   cluster1::> system services ndmp show
   Node                  Enabled   Clear text  User Id
   --------------------- --------- ----------- ---------
   cluster1-1            true      false        root
   cluster1-2            true      false        root
   2 entries were displayed.
