Configuring Fibre Transport on a target appliance for optimized duplication and replication
The Fibre Transport Deduplication feature enables you to use a NetBackup 52xx or 53xx appliance as a target host for optimized duplication and Auto Image Replication over Fibre Channel (FC).
If you have configured one or more target ports for Fibre Transport Deduplication, and you do one of the following, you cause the physical state of one or more ports to change:
Enabling the Fibre Transport Deduplication feature
Disabling the Fibre Transport Deduplication feature
Changing the port mode configuration when the feature is enabled
Note:
You must restart all the appliances in the FC zone where the physical state of an HBA port is changed.
Note:
To continue to use Fibre Transport Deduplication after a re-image operation, you must first restore the factory default port configuration or disable the feature. Then you can go on with other settings.
To configure a 52xx and 53xx appliance as a replication target using the NetBackup Appliance Web Console
- Log on to the NetBackup Appliance Web Console.
- Click Settings > Network, then select Fibre Transport.
- To enable Fibre Transport Deduplication, click to select the Enable Fibre Transport on this appliance as a replication target.
- If you want to keep the current port configuration, skip this step.
If you want to change the port mode on the appliance, do the following:
In the Port Mode column, click on the current port mode of a port.
From the drop-down menu, select Initiator or Target (MSDP) to configure the port mode.
To restore the customized port configuration to the factory default state, click Restore FactoryDefaults.
The port mode change is reflected on a diagram on the right of the page.
- Click Save to apply the changed settings.
- Restart the appliances in the FC zone where a port mode change has occurred.
To reduce the times of restarting, restart the appliances after you finish all the changes.
To configure a 52xx and 53xx appliance as a replication target using the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu
- Log on to the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.
- To enable Fibre Transport Deduplication, run the following command:
Main > Settings > FibreTransport Deduplication Enable [Current|FactoryDefault]
- To configure the port mode, run the following command:
Main > Manage > FibreChannel > Configure Deduplication <Initiator | Target> <HBAportid>
The HBAportid is slot number (1-6) and port number (1-2) of the HBA port. The format is Slot:Port.
- To show the current port mode configuration, run the following command:
Main > Manage > FibreChannel > Show [Ports]
- To disable the Fibre Transport Deduplication feature, run the following command:
Main > Settings > FibreTransport Deduplication Disable
- Verify that the settings are correct by running the following command:
Main > Settings > FibreTransport Deduplication Show
This following is the output when the feature is enabled:
[Info] Fibre Transport Deduplication is enabled.
This following is the output when the feature is disabled:
[Info] Fibre Transport Deduplication is disabled.
- Restart the appliances in the FC zone where the physical state of a port change has changed.
To reduce the times of restarting, restart the appliances after you finish all the changes.
