Run "tpautoconf -verify ndmp_host_name" and verify
that
access is granted
Its located in /usr/openv/volmgr/bin
If it failes, enable ndmp debugging on the filer (ndmpd debug
50),
and re-run
Check the filer's ndmps log (generally in
//filername/$/etc/ndmpd.log) for clues.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP authentication failing for NetApp.
Greetings,
I'm trying to get a remote NDMP backup connection going between my new
6.5.3 RHEL master and one of our NetApp filers (7.2.5.1). We have a
non-root account on the filer (ndmpuser) and have given it a password.
This has been used by Operations Manager in the past with no problems.
When I try to set up credentials for that NDMP host, I use the user
name "ndmpuser" and the encrypted password I got from running "ndmpd
password ndmpuser" on the filer. This fails authentication. The filer
is running NDMP version 4.
The error message is coming back saying the media servers could not be
reached or the credentials are invalid. The tape library is on the
master server so I have not set the filer up as a media server. The
filer is a production system getting backups from 4 different countries
so I'm reluctant to start changing NDMP levels or password length
options.
Please tell me what I'm missing.
Thanks,
Jeff
