     30 DESCRIPTION
     31 ===========
     32 Ndmpcopy transfers data between filers using the Network Data
     33 Management Protocol (NDMP) version 4.  When you use rsh to 
     34 perform this transfer, the data flows from the source machine 
     35 to the rsh host and then again from the rsh host to the 
     36 destination machine.  This can put a double load on the network 
     37 and unneccessary load on the rsh host.  With ndmpcopy, data is 
     38 transferred directly from the source machine to the destination 
     39 machine, and the NDMP host and network are not burdoned with 
     40 the extra load.
     41 
     42 When you run ndmpcopy it will contact the NDMP server processes on
     43 the source and destination machines and authenticate the connection.
     44 It will then initiate a backup on the source machine and a restore
     45 on the destination machine.  The transfer will happen between the
     46 two machines directly, only burdoning the NDMP host with status
     47 messages instead of all of the backup data.  Initial tests have
     48 demonstrated double the performance when using ndmpcopy instead
     49 of rsh.
     50 
     51 TEST SUITE INSTALLATION
     52 =======================
     53 
     54 To install ndmpcopy, download the ndmpcopy package "SUNWstc-ndmpcopy" 
     55 from <GATE_PATH>/packages/`uname -p`
     56 Install the package using pkgadd.
     57 
     58 TEST SUITE CONFIGURATION
     59 ========================
     60 1. Create a destination directory on the destination Network Attached Storage
     61 (NAS), with size equal to or greater than the source directory/file system
     62 to be copied.
     63 2. Create a ndmp user on Solaris Nevada or Opensolaris or Sun Unified Storage 7000 Series. The default encryption mechanism should be md5.
     64 A ndmp user can be created on Solaris Nevada as below :
     65 # ndmpadm enable -a cram-md5 -u admin
     66 
     67 TEST SUITE EXECUTION
     68 ====================
     69 
     70 ndmpcopy binary is created in ndmpcopy/bin directory.
     71 Usage:  ndmpcopy src_filer:/src/dir dest_filer:/dest/dir
     72                  [-sa none | user:password] [-da none | user:password]
     73                  [-sport ndmp_src_port] [-dport ndmp_dest_port]
     74                  [-dhost ndmp_dest_ip_addr] [-level ndmp_dump_level]
     75                  [-v] [-q] [-dpass] [-h]
     76 
     77 Defaults:
     78    src_auth_type       = text
     79    src_auth_user       = root
     80    src_auth_password   =
     81    dest_auth_type      = text
     82    dest_auth_user      = root
     83    dest_auth_password  =
     84    ndmp_src_port       = 0  (0 means NDMP default, usually 10000)
     85    ndmp_dest_port      = 0  (0 means NDMP default, usually 10000)
     86    ndmp_dump_level     = 0  (valid range: 0 - 9)
     87    ndmp_dest_ip_addr   =   (no default: user needs to override dest_filer value)
     88    verbosity           = noisy
     89    different_passwords = no
     90 
     91 
     92 BUILDING THE ndmpcopy TOOLS (OPTIONAL)
     93 ======================================
     94 Pre-requisites
     95 --------------
     96 1. Sun Solaris 10 and above Operating System is required.
     97 2. Sun Studio 11 or higher to be installed
     98 4. /usr/ccs/bin/make should be used for making
     99 
    100 Executing tests using precompiled packages is the method we strongly 
    101 recommend.  However, if, for some reason, you need to build ndmpcopy
    102 binaries from source, simply do the following:
    103 
    104 a. Install SUNWstc-tetlite
    105 
    106 Install the precompiled SUNWstc-tetlite package.  Detailed instructions
    107 for this can be found elsewhere in this document.
    108 
    109 b. Obtain and the Test Suite Source
    110 Obtain the test suite source using appropriate source code management 
    111 (SCM) commands or install the source from a tarball, etc into an STC
    112 workspace.  The method used to obtain the source code is not important 
    113 to the build process; the path of ndmpcopy source code is: the source
    114 code must be placed under the path "usr/src/tools/ndmpcopy"
    115 
    116 c. Build the source
    117 
    118 It is not required to execute the build process as 'root'
    119 
    120     user$ export TET_ROOT=/opt/SUNWstc-tetlite
    121     user$ export CTI_ROOT=$TET_ROOT/contrib/ctitools
    122     user$ export TET_SUITE_ROOT=/export/STC/usr/src/tools (example)
    123     user$ cd $TET_SUITE_ROOT/ndmpcopy
    124     user$ /usr/ccs/bin/make
    125 
    126 The build can also install into a 'proto' directory below the workspace
    127 root directory.  The workspace root is the directory under which the
    128 'usr/src/tools' directory resides (in the example above, the workspace
    129 root is "/export/STC").  To install binaries into the proto directory,
    130 do:
    131     user$ /usr/ccs/bin/make install
    132 
    133 Following this, ndmpcopy binary packages can be constructed using the
    134 contents of the proto directory.  To build the package, do:
    135 
    136     user$ /usr/ccs/bin/make package
    137 
    138 This can be done in addition to, or instead of, 'make install'.  The
    139 packages thus constructed will be stored in the 'packages' directory
    140 under the workspace root.
    141 
    142 COMPATIBILITY
    143 ============
    144 This version of ndmpcopy has been tested on Solaris 10, Solaris Nevada build 103 and OpenSolaris.
