Try adding the following entry to the top of your file selection for those 
backups:

SET HIST=N

This will stop the netapps sending history to Netbackup.

Obviously less than ideal, but a good starting point for troubleshooting.

Also, look in your consolidated logs

vxlogview -p NB -o ndmp

For the real error.


Cheers,
Nic

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP backup failing with 99
To: "veritas-bu AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu" <veritas-bu AT 
mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu>

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
