that allows a tape device to be connected directly to the node via fiber-optic cable. It is
not part of an ADS server (not connected to the Avamar multi-node system’s internal
network).

NDMP accelerator node
An Avamar NDMP accelerator (accelerator node) is a dedicated single-node Avamar client
that, when used as part of an Avamar system, provides a complete backup and recovery
solution for supported EMC Isilon, VNX, VNXe, and Celerra systems, and NetApp filers by
using Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) to communicate with these storage
devices. It is not part of the ADS server.
For installation instructions, refer to the
EMC Avamar NDMP Accelerator User Guide
.
Node resource database (probe.xml)
An XML file that stores the types and IP addresses of Avamar server nodes. In addition,
probe.xml
stores the types and IP addresses of optional nodes, and supports both
Network Address Translation (NAT) and multiple network interfaces.
Avamar Downloader Service
A Windows-based file distribution system that delivers software installation packages to
target Avamar systems.
Local downloader service
A component integrated into the Avamar Installation Manager. The local downloader
service (LDLS) allows administrators to check the EMC repository for updated software
packages by using the Avamar Installation Manager web interface. The LDLS supports
environments where local Windows hosts are unavailable, removing the requirement to
copy files directly to the local repository.
Avamar FTP site
An EMC FTP site that provides anonymous access to Avamar hotfixes and operating
system (OS) patches. The FTP site is
. Typically, access to this site is
for EMC personnel (there may be exceptions). The contents of the FTP site are not
browsable.
Avamar Installation Manager
A web interface that manages installation, upgrade, and maintenance packages.
Installation Manager on page 15
provides more information.
Avamar login manager
A process that provides access to an external authentication database, which enables
the Avamar system to use existing username and password information for Avamar
authentication. Without the login manager, Avamar can only use its internal
authentication mechanism. An Avamar server installation or upgrade installs the login
manager, and then starts it. The login manager uses the domains configuration file to
identify the supported domains.
