I forgot to mention that I did set NDMP to version 3.

I have just done some testing, not related to these messages, with Networker
/ NDMP using Ontap SIM 6.4.1.
I completely forgot about the 8 character limit and entered the Ontap
generated password as is, this worked without noticable problem. IMHO the
password limit depends on the Ontap version.

However, I agree with that the load sleep timer could be your problem. The
best is to run NDMP in debug mode and check the error messages being send by
NDMP to networker.

I think the error message is bogus; I have not made any changes to the
password and it is exactly 8 characters.  I am going to scour the release
notes for hints.  Maybe I need to upgrade the OS on the Netapp.  I'll have
to
see what version is supported with NW 7.0.

By default, the CDI setting for NDMP devices is Not Used.  I will try
setting
that to SCSI commands and see if that makes a difference.

I am also going to try ndmpd version 4 on the Netapp.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Shelley
