NDMP Connection to Switch

Hello all I got rid of the error , this required both primary and secondary DM reboot .thanks again to Dynamox .

The exact cause is unknown ,however. I was able to successfully run a backup of the File system of 188GB . But is stopped after a minute with the following error:

Can some one please shed some light on the error.

Little insight: I have zoned the Aux to 4 IBM tape drives and NDMP is running on Netbackup.

For some strange reason this FS size it showing up as ~365 GB ,which should not be the case.

is c80t0l0 your tape drive ?

Dynamox yes :

Dynamox ,

I tried for other FS , and it stops with the same error:

Dynamox , i have a small Fs of 50GB ,which i can backup.

can you try backing up a small test file system (you might have to manually  mount the tape in the drive)

server_archive server_2 -w -f /dev/c80t0l0 -J /root_vdm_1/testfs

so you can backup 50G file system using netbackup ?

little correction , i can backup 2 GB FS and nothing more than that not even the one 16 GB 

tape media ok ?

Can you check, the NDMP host you use are on NIC bonding? Only one type of bonding is supported for NDMP backup with Celerra. Remove bonding and use with a single NIC and try. We had some what similar issue backing up large file systems and faced disconnects and some times Tape Drives also use to go offline.

Dynamox , media is okie. There's something in log the support is not able to pick .Please suggest ..

Hi Narahari,

I am using only cge3 for the NDMP so virtual device configured per se. NIC ( cge3 ) connected to switch .

The error I am getting is :

how many drives are zoned to Celerra ?
