Using Procom NAS Devices › Limitations on Procom Devices

Limitations on Procom Devices

The following are some of the limitations when you use a Procom server with the NDMP NAS Option:

• Restore jobs do not support any kind of filtering.
• Direct access restores are not supported.
• Backup jobs support Exclude filters on directory and file names only.
• The NDMP NAS Option does not display a progress bar or percentage complete statistic in the Job Monitor dialog.
• Procom restore operations only support the option Create Entire Path from the Root on the Destination tab of the Restore Manager Global Options dialog.

Some of these limitations arise because of the version of NDMP in use on the Procom server. If the Procom server firmware version is earlier than 4.02.10, the NDMP NAS Option cannot automatically determine the volumes created on the Procom server. You must determine the volume names and use the names to configure the nas.cfg file. These volume names can be determined from the web-based Administrative Interface.

To determine the names of the volumes, use the web-based Administrative Interface to display the File Volume Usage window. Volume names of file volumes available on the Procom server appear in the name column. Add these names to the nas.cfg file.
