NDMP backups failing with 2008 Server
I'm in the process of configuring ndmp backups on some new equipment and upgraded software and cannot seem to get NDMP netapp backups to run. The new system is running Server 2008 r2 with NW 7.6.2. All non-NDMP backups are running fine. The old system running server 2003 with NW 7.3.2 runs NDMP netapp backups without any problems. I've basically copied the configuration from the old server to the new server but continue to get the following errors below almost immediately after starting backups. Your help is much appreciated.
savegrp: suppressed 2 lines of verbose output
42794:nsrndmp_save: Performing backup to Non-NDMP type of device

I had pretty much same issue and this is NW problem - at least in my version of the event. What happened was that I have backup server on VLAN A, B and C. I have 4 storage nodes; 2 of them in VLAN A and B and two of them in VLAN C and D. VLAN B can talk to VLAN D. My NetApp filers are on C and D.
A is primary (management) in old network config, B is used for backup/NFS traffic.
D is primary in new network config and C is used for backup/NFS traffic.
Originally I wanted to use storage node in new network setup (C and D) and have backup going over C VLAN. Everything was configure by the book, but had the same error as you. On more detailed examination, I found that nsr_dsasave is spawned with -s A which breaks the thing. And there is no way in NW config to change this (server interface, some known and unknown switches, etc). So, at the end I modified host table on storage node in new network config and made fake entry where I used IP of VLAN C against name of VLAN A. That worked finally. This is not elegant solution and hopefully EMC folks will fix it as this sort of workaround might not be everyone's cup of tea.
