Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP SSO tape drive backup failing

Agree with ed, check the fundamentals, i.e. utilise set_ndmp_attr –verify or tpautoconf.

We currently share 20 9940B drives amongst 2 solaris 10 media servers, 2 windows servers and 4 FAS NetApp’s no problems.

Hi Have just configured netbackup 6.5.3 using the device wizard to configure a robot and 2 lto4 tape drives which are Shared on a SAN. The drives are shared between the Linux backup server and 1 Netapp Filers. The device wizard has correctly detected the Robot and 2 Tape Drives which are shared with the NDMP device.

I can use the master server to perform a backup successfully. When i try to perofrm a backup of /vol/vol0 using the NDMP storage unit the backup fails. THe NDMP tape devices have not come online under device monitor.

Have you set up the authentication from the master server? You should create an account on the filer for NetBackup to use and then tell NetBackup to use it. Do you also have the NetBackup NDMP license installed on the master?
