Hi All,

I have a problem with NDMP Remote Backup of NAS: DELL FS8600. When running the backup this error is displayed in ndmpagent log:

So first things first, this is either a remote NDMP connecting back to the media server to send data or during other NDMP backups, the meta data. I am guessing the former.

Per the info "config file: NDMP_DATA_CONNECTION_HOST_NAME=alcala"

Your ndmp.cfg has the info to tell the filer to come back to ALCALA to send data no matter the actual media server network interface that is talking with the filer for the managment NDMP connection.

Per the info "Listen address = 157.253.77.49 port 2859"

ALCALA's IP address is 157.253.77.49 and has an NDMP server listening at port 2859.

Port 2859 is within the default range for SERVER_PORT_WINDOW, which is 1025-5000, this range is used as random to open a server for other devices to connect to without keeping it at a constant port that can be attacked.

Per the info "ndmp_data_connect failed, status = 23 (NDMP_CONNECT_ERR)"

Your filer attempted to connect to 157.253.77.49 port 2859 and failed.

Please ensure that both software and hardware firewalls allow this filer to connect to that address on the TCP bidirectional port range 1025-5000

Do it have connrect authentication?

could you check the below command output and see if that is connecting fine or not

tpautoconf -verify <NDMPhostname>

is prot 10000 open bidirectionally on the NDMP host?

This is: tpautoconf -verify <NDMPhostname>

Connecting to host "fs_user_rgb.xxxxxxxxx.xxx.co" as user "user_NDMP"...
Waiting for connect notification message...
Opening session--attempting with NDMP protocol version 4...
Opening session--successful with NDMP protocol version 4
  host supports TEXT authentication
  host supports MD5 authentication
Getting MD5 challenge from host...
Logging in using MD5 method...
Host info is:
  host name "node0.fs_user_rgb"
  os type "Dell Fluid File System"
  os version "1.3.930714"
  host id "755F7366"
Login was successful
Host supports LOCAL backup/restore
Host supports 3-way backup/restore
 

and the port 10000 is open bidirectionally. I can do telnet to this port.

?

NetBackup requirements for Dell FS8600

TYPE=tar environment variable must be set. TYPE=dump backups are not supported.

Thanks Will,

I have set the variable as follows, in the selection list:

set TYPE=tar

/NAMEVOLUME

 

but the error is the same.

Have another look at NDMP policy. Is the Client name exactly as the name you used in command above to test comms? Did you run the command from the media server specified in the STU? Difficult to try and help when you mask actual names...
