Avamar NDMP errors
Hi all, I have configured an NDMP accelerator node in my environment. I have an NS480 with several fileshares. I created an ndmp user in the Celerra and ran avsetupndmp successfully on my accelerator node. I then registered and now see a client for my cifs share. I can browse the cifs client in the avamar gui and see all of my filesystems, so it would seem that I have configured everything correctly. However when I kick off a backup of a single filesystem the backup appears to start correctly and even backs up a small amount of data (up to 6 gb, but this varies based on the filesystem I choose). Then it just quits and leaves me with this info in the avtar log.
2009-12-16 14:47:35 avndmp Info <9510>: Opening file history '/usr/local/avamar/var/vdm5.nunet.neu.edu/filehist_pipe_11101' as pipe

Of course there is other information but everything else is just successful communication with the NAS device, proper listing of filesystems available etc.
Thanks,
Bryan

same error here:
code 157: Miscellaneous error
just running a full dump now, then will switch back to level 0 and let you guys know.
EDIT: By the way, this is only since updating to the v5 client on the NDMP accel.

There is a known issue on NDMP 5.0.100-409 backup fails when Avamar Server(4.1.2-33) starts a Checkpoint.
You can follow up the steps to verify, if the error do not happen, your problem possiblly related to this issue.
As for the workaround for this issue, you may change the maintenance schedule to avoid the backup windows overlap or upgraded the client as latest version.
ftp://avamar_ftp:anonymous@ftp.avamar.com:/software/5.0.2/v5.0.105.169-client.tar.gz
ftp://avamar_ftp:anonymous@ftp.avamar.com:/software/5.0.2/v5.0.105.169-client.tar.gz.md5sum
Hope the problem could be resolved by that.
