|Parameters |

|data_mover_name (Required)
|Specifies the name of the data mover. This name must be the same as |a node name that you previously registered using the REGISTER NODE TYPE=NAS |command. The data that is backed up from this NAS data mover will be |assigned to this node name in the server database. | |

|Type (Required)
|Specifies that the type of data mover is a NAS file server.

|HLAddress (Required)
|Specifies the IP address for access to the NAS file server. |Use either a numerical address or a host name.

|LLAddress
|Specifies the TCP port number to access the NAS device for Network Data |Management Protocol (NDMP) sessions. This parameter is optional. |The default value is 10000.

|USERid (Required)
|Specifies the user ID for a user that is authorized to initiate an NDMP |session with the NAS file server. For example, enter the administrative |ID for a Network Appliance file server.

|PASsword (Required)
|Specifies the password for the user ID to log onto the NAS file |server.

|ONLine
|Specifies whether the data mover is available for use. This |parameter is optional. The default is YES. |

|Yes
|Specifies that the data mover is available for use.

|No
|Specifies that the data mover is not available for use.

|Attention: If a library is controlled using a path from a |data mover to the library, and the data mover is offline, the server will not |be able to access the library. If the server is halted and restarted |while the data mover is offline, the library will not be initialized. |

|DATAFormat (Required)
|Specifies the data format that is used by this data mover. |NETAPPDUMP is the only choice. |
