Unable to add NDMP server in Update4

Post by sraj »

I am trying to add the ndmp server after upgrading to Update 4.. i get the below error

Cannot connect to NDMP server
Failed to authenticate. NDMP error: '4'

Am sure the account am using is having enough permission at NDMP server. Any thoughts on this.

Hey Rajesh,

I am guessing here that the username / password that is being delivered to the NMDP server is in the wrong format.
Could you please create a support call, log the support case ID here and after that the investigation with our engineers what the solution is?

Many thanks
Mike

Moving to the tape forum.

This may not be the case here, but for the future readers - keep in mind that NDMP implementation may differ from one vendor to another, and not all of the are guaranteed to be support. We did of course test all market-leading NAS storage we had access to though.

i got the access issue fixed by creating the credentials as per the below netapp document

cluster1::> security login create -user-or-group-name backup_admin1 -application ssh
-authmethod password -role backup
Please enter a password for user 'backup_admin1':
Please enter it again:

But after adding the server, i see only the volumes which are part of Aggregate-1 only. other aggregate volumes are not being discovered. Not sure why
Any thoughts... ?

Please open a support case to have them take a look at your configuration. NetApp is one storage that got very good beta testing coverage thanks to how common it is, so it's not where I expect customers to encounter such a major blocking issues.
