Hi Guys,

I'm trying to troubleshoot a NDMP backup failure with status code 98. I'was looking to execute the command set_ndmp_attr to verify ndmp settings but it seems that its not present in Netbackup 7. Can anyone please confirm and help.

NetBackup Version: 7.0.1

OS: Solaris10 

 

Thank You

From the 7.0 NDMP Admin Guide:

When you authorize NetBackup access to the NDMP host and configure robots using the Administration Console, NetBackup automatically verifies NDMP credentials and the robotic configuration. If you want, you can re-verify them.
For example:


tpautoconf -verify ndmp_host_name


A successful verification looks like the following:


Connecting to host "stripes" as user "root"...
Waiting for connect notification message...
Opening session--attempting with NDMP protocol version 4...
Opening session--successful with NDMP protocol version 4
host supports MD5 authentication
Getting MD5 challenge from host...
Logging in using MD5 method...
Host info is:
host name "stripes"
os type "NetApp"
os version "NetApp Release 7.0.0.1"
host id "0033625811"
Login was successful
Host supports LOCAL backup/restore
Host supports 3-way backup/restore

i.e. basically the same output as for set_ndmp_attr -verify ndmp_host_name

Thanks for your response Andy. I have already marked your post as the solution but would appreciate if you can help me a bit more.

Is there any other new command to check/troubleshoot NDMP issues.

 

This is the error i get when i execute tpautoconf.seems its a authorization issue. How can i set the authorization?The old command was i think set_ndmp_attr -auth NAS_HOSTNAME  root..  Please help

$ sudo tpautoconf -verify NDMPHOST

 

Failed to retrieve the authentication credentials for this host.
NDMP failed to verify host
 
$ tpautoconf -probe NDMPHOST
Failed to retrieve the authentication credentials for this host.
Internal NDMP error

(I think the snippet from my previous post is relevant) it looks like you can only do the authentication of credentials via the GUI.

Still at 6.5.4 personally so cannot confirm 100% here (as you say it was set_ndmp_attr -auth etc etc)

***EDIT***

Looking again at your original post I missed that you're having 98 errors - as this is a media mount error is this likely to be related to NDMP credentials? Obviously there's an issue there too but....
