Issue

The below error is generated when attempting a Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) restore from Active IQ Unified Manager:
Cannot connect to the NDMP service on the cluster administrator Storage Virtual Machine 'svm_name'. Too many transfers may be on the cluster.

The Active IQ Unified Manager GUI can also show the message with a retry note at the end:
cannot connect to the NDMP service on the cluster administrator Storage Virtual Machine 'svm_name'. Too many transfers may be on the cluster. Retrying it now.

  • Directory restores fail randomly, while file restores always work.
  • The output of the following command marks the same job as successful, with specific IPs as source and destination Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs):

dfm job task list -j

  • The next attempt uses different IPs.
