NDMP Backup Aborting with 99/223 status

[Adriano_BR]

Greetings my friends,

I have a Netapp filer here, i can authenticate my ndmp user, logon into it and start my backups, but when my backup reaches 520GB (always at that point), it fails with a 99 or 223 status code:

4/24/2011 10:21:04 AM - begin writing
4/24/2011 7:29:41 PM - Error bpbrm(pid=23265286) db_FLISTsend failed: premature eof encountered (233)       
4/24/2011 7:29:43 PM - Error bptm(pid=20250788) media manager terminated by parent process       
4/24/2011 7:29:43 PM - Error ndmpagent(pid=27131990) NDMP backup failed, path = /vol/ABCData
4/24/2011 7:30:33 PM - end writing; write time: 09:09:29
premature eof encountered(233)

So far here's the tests that i did:

- Backed up a single file under that volume - ok

- Divided the backup in portions (under that volume) - Still failing with 99.

My Netapp user is also the admin account.

Any ideas?

Hi Adriano,

I have the exact same Issue. Could you please especify what NBU Version en OS are you using?

My Master server is an AIX 5.3 - NetBackup 6.5.6.

Here's some more information, i have other volumes on that NAS and all backups are fine for these other volumes. Doesn't seems to be a permission/user related problem.

few week back i also faced this same issue with (EMC Celera)& i followed technote as watsons suggested

even i splited that NAS file system in to 5-6 parts & things started working normally

I've created the NDMP_PROGRESS_TIMEOUT file and stopped/started my media daemons, the backup started and will run for a few hours. I'll let you guys know the result tomorrow!

Thanks!
