May be a problem with the tape drive or the tape drive config or the tape drive cabling.
What type of tape library do you have?
Can you tell us a little more about the tape drives and how they are connected to the netapp filer.
Can you issue the netapp commands
. sysconfig –t
. storage show tape
Check the device name from the sysconfig –t with that defined in netbackup.
Can you issue the command mt –f device status
With a tape loaded.
Can you try a few other mt commands.
Do you see anything in the bptm log
The old and new netbackup ndmp logs.
Anything in the netapp /vol/vol0/etc/messages file
Can you turn on ndmp debugging and then check the netapp ndmp debugging log.
Good luck len

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backup failing with 99
Hello everyone,
We just installed two NDMP drives on one of our NetApp filers. Since then backups are failing with 99 generic error code. Backups if ran through another filer like a 3 way NDMP backup complete successfully.
Usually for a NDMP backup to complete successfully, it has to clear all five phases but when looked into the affected filer's logs, we saw the backup fails at Phase 2. I have really no idea from where to start.
Any clue will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saran
