Hi,
We are using Ontap 5.3.4R3P2D4 successfully with NBU 3.2

So - Does anyone want to venture an opinion as to how well 5.3.4R3 (no patch level) might work with NBU 3.2? I'm at a client running this configuration and I'd like to have at least a wild guess as to how well this is going to work. Unfortunately at the moment I'm stuck waiting for the delivery of some tape libraries so I'm trying to do as much ground work as possible on the implementation. I have a query in to Veritas but haven't heard back yet.
If this is problematic what is the closest match (probably backward) that will likely work??

We upgraded out filers to NetApp Release 5.3.4R3P2 this weekend. Since
then, NBU 3.2 keeps downing the tape drives on several, but not all of the filers (3 of 9). This seems to happen before, during and after backups.
Has anyone else seen this? Thanks!!
we saw this on previous versions of NBU, 3.1.*, the work around was really
lame. cron executed a script which did something like: vmoprcmd -up # for each drive.
Hi there!
We also have the same problem with this release of Ontap and Netbackup v3.2. According to Netapp the cause of this problem is a faulty Java Class (Garbage collection) which NDMP uses. This should also be the reason for the problems with Ontap 5.3.5xxx, where the problem got critical and backup stopped working.
Netapp recommended us to switch to Ontap 5.3.5R2P1, where the NDMP-BUG is (hopefully) fixed.
