    I assume you are configuring remote NDMP, in which data in filer is backed up into tape devices attached to "MasterServer". Configuration steps are described in docs below.

    First, check if NDMP daemon is running on the filer using "ndmpd status". If not running, start ndmpd by "nbmpd on". In addition, check if any restriction is set in "options ndmpd.access" or firewall.

    After that, add your filer with its credential in NetBackup using GUI or "tpconfig -add -nh your_filer -user_id ndmp_user".

    finally, check NDMP connectivity using "tpautoconf -verify your_filer".
