Hi,
I am switching to a new shiny server/tape robot. My old system (Solaris 10) with Networker 7.6, I am performing NDMP backups from our Network Appliance successfully.
Trying to attempt it on the new Solaris 10 system with Networker 7.6.1, the backup is failing when starting from Networker savegrp. But if I run the nsrndmp_save manually it works. It is failing the probe then giving up. Why it probes I dont know as the netapp is not running nsrexecd and could not possibly respond sensibly??
This is the output from the savegrp:
# savegrp -vvvv -l full "Monthly Filers Group 2"
32451:savegrp: sponge:/vol/fianna_data1 level=full
32451:savegrp: sponge:/vol/fianna_rri_data level=full

In daemon.raw it complains about permission denied connecting to the filer "sponge". Do I need to have rsh setup? And then what gets run if it has permission to run anything on an ONTAP NetApp?
I think I may me doing something stupid and its just a checkbox I need to tick or untick. Because it fails the probe it does not even try to run the ndmp stuff...
Thanks,
Ian...

Hello,
At the first sight, it seems that you did not checked the "ndmp" checkbox in the client resource configuration for the filer. It is in the "Apps & Modules" tab in the "Backup" part.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Antonio,
That did help. I was going to try that today (knew it would be something simple), the reason I hadnt was I was unde the misunderstanding that you checked that for if you had a NDMP device attached to the filer. To add to my confusion it has been working unchecked on my 7.6 system for ages...
My final comment for others that may read this. You need a patch for 7.6.1, as I got another error after that, like this:
42794:nsrndmp_save: Performing backup to Non-NDMP type of device
42652:nsrndmp_save: DSA save time could not be retrieved, exiting..
6899:nsrdsa_save: Warning: Could not determine job id. Continuing ...
39078:nsrdsa_save: SYSTEM error: Could not establish jobid with server. (severity 5, number 22, message 4122)

Thanks Again.
