Saran,

 

Still waiting on your findings from vxlogview -p NB -o ndmp

(you may need to increase logging level – vxlogcfg –a –p NB –o ndmp –s “DebugLevel = 4”)

 

Error 99 in NB just indicates that the NDMP session died – why it failed/what it was doing when it failed should be in the NDMP logging (for instance, the issues I see most regularly that cause me a 99 error are during the NDMP add dir phase, code 0x704… the ndmp status codes can be found in any of the protocol definition documents – such as http://www.ndmp.org/download/sdk_v5/draft-ndmpv5_002_20000405.doc)

 

Also, as it looks like the error you are experiencing is something specific around that netapp, you should look at the NetApp NDMP debugging as well

First, check what your existing debug settings are with “ndmpd debug”

You’ll want to toggle OFF the screen trace if its on

Debug level of 50 should give you enough info – 70 gives you everything.

 

Make sure you turn it down again afterwards.

Log output will go into your logs directory (/etc/log/) as ndmpdlog.<date>
