Unfortunately, our Mirapoint servers are locked down tight. Only
Mirapoint's personnel can do anything on them more than rudimentary stuff.
I just set up the usual entries in nwadmin to back up our development
Mirapoint NDMP server. I then kicked off a backup and it is working fine.
The production NDMP clients all fail.

A reboot earlier today of our Legato server did not change the situation
for our production NDMP clients.

Why would only one out of five NDMP clients work? As far as I can see,
they all have the same type of setup on our Legato server and they are all
have the same tape drives available to them and same type of tape media?
