Hello Roy

Do you see anything of interest in the netapp /etc/messages file?

Might it be a problem with the tape cart or the tape drive?


What is the make and model of the lto-4 tape drive and the library?
Do you see anything of interest in the tape drive/library error logs. 

Is it always the same tape cart or same tape drive that reports the i/o error?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Fulls fail w/error 99

I have a case open with Symantec, but I thought I'd try to tap the 
collective wisdom of this list to see if anyone has encountered this before.

I am consistently seeing a failure of full (only full) NDMP backups on 
one volume on a NetApp filer.  The last successful full backup of this 
volume was three weekends ago.  However, full backups of four other 
(smaller) volumes on the same filer run successfully, as do all 
incrementals on all volumes.

This is what we are seeing in the detailed status report:

06/16/2010 04:27:43 - Error bpbrm (pid=12985) db_FLISTsend failed:

06/16/2010 04:28:29 - end writing; write time: 2:56:58
NDMP backup failure  (99)


So far we have increased MAX_FILES_PER_ADD up to 25000 and then 40000 
but no joy there.

The LAN and fibre channel connections look to be OK.  No errors or 
collisions visible on any interface or switch.

There are no errors in the messages files of the server or the filer.  
Symantec has verbose logs for bptm, bpbrm, ndmp, ndmpagent, etc. and the 
ndmpd log from the filer, but so far hasn't found anything helpful.  
I've included some excerpts below.

A test of dump to null (from the command line) on the filer ran to 
completion without errors.

The filer is a NetApp 3020 running OnTap 7.2.5.  It has one LTO4 drive 
fibre-attached.  In the same (SL-500) library there are three other 
drives that are attached to the master/media server.  Netbackup is 
Version 7.  The Master/media server is running Solaris 10.

Any ideas, or tips for troubleshooting?  Thanks much.
