SVM-scoped NDMP fails to establish data connection
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- NDMP
- Data Management Application (DMA) or NDMP Backup Application
Issue
- The backup or restore requires a network connection to exchange data between the DMA (example, Commvault) and the NetApp system (Indirect or 3-way topology)
- The backup or restore fails/aborts with a network-related error.
- Examples of errors that might accompany this issue, and can be found in a ndmpd debug log:
error 33 (ERROR: CONNECT FAILED)
