NDMP backup failing with RPC error: ERROR: BAD ENV OP

[RohitNayal]

HI All,

Facing NDMP backup issue while backing up the particulat volume , intially the backup was running fine but we are facing issue on only one volume failing with error code 99

03/02/2015 15:47:00 - begin writing
03/02/2015 15:47:01 - Error ndmpagent (pid=26616) uslv-pfsx-cf01b-bkp.amgen.com: DATA: Operation terminated: backup configuration failure (2) on RPC error: ERROR: BAD ENV OP (for /uslv-vfsx-tdb01/uslv_tdbx_ora_scrpt/uslv-tdbx-or01a)
03/02/2015 15:47:01 - Error ndmpagent (pid=26616) NDMP backup failed, path = /vfiler/volume/jucytion path
03/02/2015 15:47:01 - Error bptm (pid=25452) none of the NDMP backups for client XXXXXXcompleted successfully
03/02/2015 15:47:02 - Info bptm (pid=25452) EXITING with status 99 <----------
03/02/2015 15:47:02 - Info ndmpagent (pid=0) done. status: 99: NDMP backup failure

Confirm the path is valid on the Filer , and there is no log there in the Filer which indicate some issue from filer side 

Below is Backup enviorment 

Master Server /Media Server : 7.6.0.3/ Linux RHEL 6./64 Bit

Netapp NetApp Release 8.2.2P1 Cluster-Mode

Also the backup is running fine if I make the backup selction list upto the one volume level up.

Regards 

Rohit

Try using native NDMP Dump does that work?

[RohitNayal]

Hi Revaroo ,

Thanks for your reply , but if the backup of the one level up is running fine than why backup is falling in the granular level if mentioed in the backup selction list 

For NDMP dump could you please route me how to perform it

Just curious, what does your policy look like?:

bppllist <policy-name> -U

The have been posts in the past where non-valid Backup Selections were used
