Larry,
Thanks for responding.
The ONTAP is old, 7.3 I think. As for the BE HCL, I assume so, because I’ve been backing this device up for almost 10 years with BE.
Not too sure about #2. Never heard of that.
As for #3, it's been kind of flaky. It was on, but when I'd run a backup, it would fail with the error noted, and when I would check teh Netapp it would say that teh NDMPD was OFF! We did a reboot of the controller last night, confirmed that NDMPD was enabled and ON, and it failed again, and once again teh NDMPD status is OFF. Could this be due to the Node-scoped mode you mentioined?
Thanks again for responding. I really appreciate it.
