Guys, I need to write one damn volume to tape on a cDOT 8.3.2p9 four node cluster. LTO5 drives hooked up with FC. I can setup NDMP in VServer mode and get that part working. But I can't find the tool to start a dump to tape of the volume.
ndmpcopy just does filer to filer copies. You can't use 'dump' any more from the console, it's all NDMP based now.
I guess I'll have to just configure Netbackup 7.7.3 with NDMP to make this happen, but then I'll need to figure out how to backup a specific snapshot.
Such a pain...
John
how about this: system smtape backup -volume <your volume> -backup-snapshot <snap name> -tape /node-01/nrst0a
will that help?

Duh... thanks for the hint, that looks to be doing the trick. I just went through a whole bunch of hassle trying to get NDMP setup so I could use that. SMTape gets around that.
Unfortunately, it's not as nice a way to archive off data, but hey, it's what the customer wanted.
Now to do a test restore to make sure I know how to get it back into the Windows box it came from.
Thanks, John
