Hi,

We are in the middly of converting from Networker 7.2.1 managed ndmp
backups of netapp servers from locally attached SCSI drives to using
ndmp backups to disk.

So far this is working, but with some issues.

The command I am using in the client definition is;

nsrndmp_save -M -T dump

This works, but generates an error in the following circumstance.

One of the Filers has 2 filesystems, ie vol0 and vol1. When a set of
savesets are defined in the client which are mixed, ie vol0 and vol1, I
see the following error message;

Nov 26 05:43:39 backupserver logger: *
netappfiler:/vol/vol0/example/example nsrndmp_save: To
o many arguments.  Only one filesystem can be specified for backup.

Has anyone come across anything similar, and if so, is there a
workaround/resolution.

Note that running the backup on the existing backup server works fine,
ie NDMP to SCSI direct attached drives. I am guessing but some of the
change is with direct attached drives, you are restricted to Parallelism
of 1. With NDMP backup to disk, this restriction no longer exists ?

Ths,

-Bob
