Nope - no software is installed on the NAS server - only the media
server. Therefore SIZE_ and NUM... are on the media server.

MP5 introduced the problem. Fixed in MP6:

My understanding is that NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS and SIZE_DATA_BUFFERS_NDMP
only apply if you are doing "Remote NDMP" 3-way backup through a
Netbackup media server.  If the tape device is attached to the NDMP host
itself, than those variables have to be set on the NDMP host.  See your
vendor documentation.

You can read more details about those touch files in the Backup Planning
and Performance Tuning Guide.

As for that error, you may want to open a support case regarding that.
The bptm process performs a simple calculation after completing the
writing of the backup, confirming that the number of bytes written is
divisible by 512. If it is, it passes on an exit 0 (success) and ends
the job. If the number is not divisible by 512, some amount of bytes did
not make it thru, and the job fails.

You can also get more detail in the ndmpagent log by doing:

vxlogview -i ndmpdagent -d T,s,x,p | grep PID:10276
