Troubleshooting an NDMP Internal Error

Description Backup or restore fails with an internal error.
Cause NDMP internal errors are indicators of a file system not being accessible or a NAS volume not being available.
Workaround If the backup application cannot connect to a FluidFS cluster:
  1. Verify that NDMP is enabled.
  2. Verify that the backup application IP address is configured in NDMP.
If the backup appliance can connect to a FluidFS cluster, but cannot log in:
  1. Use the default user name “backup_user” configured in Dell Storage Manager for the NDMP client while setting up the NDMP backup/restore in your backup application.
  2. Use the password configured in Dell Storage Manager for the NDMP client while setting up the NDMP backup/restore in your backup application.
If the backup application can log into the FluidFS cluster, but no NAS volumes are available for backup, verify that the FluidFS cluster has NAS volumes created on it.
