Hi All, I'm trying to perform and NDMP backup between an NetApp NAS (Data Ontap 8.2) and a TSM 6.3.4 server on AIX. There is a firewall inbetween the TSM Server and the NAS. TSM NDMPPROTOCOLPORT 11501 NetApp default 1 I already let the ports in the FW (which I do not manage) be opened

I generally like the TS3500, but have had some issues in the last 12 months. Two close to identical libraries in two sites running mainframe TS1120s under mainframe VTL and LTO5's for TSM. We upgraded from LTO3 to 5, upgraded the VTL and added mainframe drives and added storage frames of both
