Intended LIF is not utilized for NDMP backup
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- NDMP Backup
- NAS Backup option of Arcserve
- SVM-Scope
Issue
- The environment consists of two network subnet.
Example:
- The Management LAN is 172.16.xx.xx, and each node's management LIF is connected to it.
- The Backup LAN is 192.168.xx.xx, and an intercluster LIF is connected to it.
- The backup server has an IP address on the Backup LAN subnet.
- However, both the Backup server and ONTAP can communicate via both networks.
- Although the preference is to use the Backup LAN, the NDMP backup transfers data using the Management LAN.
