NDMP will support the random access mode (called a Medium Changer). If
you run
sysconfig -m you will see the medium changer on the NetApp. (sysconfig
-t shows
the tape drives).

How you use the Medium Changer depends on the backup software you use to

invoke the NDMP commands. I have tried NetBackup and Veritas via
NDMP and both are straightforward in finding the NDMP Medium Changer
thru the NetApp over the network.

I am looking to partition an Overland Neo2000 to be shared by a
NetApp(825) and a backup server (ARCserve r11 w/ NDMP license). When you
use the LPO (library partitioning option) in the Neo it loses the
capability to run in sequential more - each partition can only be used
in random access mode. Does anyone know how NDMP/NAS communicates with
libraries/changers when directly attached? Do they need to be sequential
changing devices are do they also support random access tape changers?

Thanks,
Charlie
