Gavin, How long is the root password on the Netapp? You will need to make sure it is 8 characters or less otherwise a NDMP connection will not be able to be made from the Legato Server. Mike

We've just received a nice new F825, which we're trying to integrate into our exsiting Legato Networker backup system. I've been speaking to our Legato support, but they're not getting very far, and each day that passes is another day for us without backups.
We have a Quantum ATL1500 jukebox directly attached (Robot controller and one drive) to a Sun box, which is a Legato storage node. The 2nd SCSI drive is connected to the back of our F825, which picks it up fine, and is configured as an NDMP device in Networker.
Now, the problem is, Networker complains that it can't establish an NDMP connection to the F825, even tho NDMP is enabled on the F825, and I've double-checked the username is root and the password is correct. Attempting to do an inventory in nwadmin fails on either device in the jukebox.
Also, NDMP doesn't do incrementals the normal way, so I was thinking of just backing up the F825 over the NFS mounts, but I hear that's not a good idea with Legato.
We're running DOT 6.3.1r1 and Legato Networker 6.1.3. Anyone have any suggestions, apart from "stop using Legato"?
Cheers, Gavin.
