Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.x
  • NDMP

Answer

  • If the mover window length is greater than 4TB, and even though it is a valid one, the NDMP server changes it to INFINITY internally.
  • It’s not unusual to see the “invalid – changing to INFINITY” message in logs.
  • This message can be ignored unless the NDMP operation fails.
