Configuring NASB

Network-Accelerated Serverless Backup (NASB) can be enabled on an entire SSM or it can be enabled on one or more groups of four ports on an SSM. Enabling NASB on interfaces has the following restrictions:

To configure NASB using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand Switches, expand End Devices and then select SSM Features in the Physical Attributes pane.
  2. Click the NASB tab.
  3. Click Create Row.
  4. Select the Switch and Module on which you want to configure NASB.
  5. Select the VSAN ID you want to configure for NASB.
  6. Note     You must configure this VSAN to permit default zoning.

  7. Choose the Control option to enable NASB on the SSM in one slot and on one VSAN for a single target LUN that is a Storage Array Controller (Peripheral Device Type = 0x0C).
  8. Choose the Multiple option to enable NASB on the SSM in one slot and on one VSAN for up to 10 target LUNs that are Direct Access Devices (Peripheral Device Type = 0x00).
  9. Note     Use the multiple option for multi-streaming (multiple backup sessions) on a single virtual target for VERITAS NetBackup.

    Note     For information on specific settings, consult with your NASB partner.

  10. Click Create to create this NASB or click Cancel to cancel this change.

Note     You cannot simultaneously configure the intelligent services SANTap and NASB on a single SSM.
