Ndmp does not work through firewalls directly. I think if you made a vpn tha( encapsulates all ports, you might be able to ndmp through a firewall.

There is firewall.
Every time near the end of backup, we saw following error in the ndmp log on filer: Dec 20 18:43:06 GMT [ndmpd:5]: Fatal top level Exception Dec 20 18:43:06 GMT [ndmpd:5]: General Exception: String index out of range: -1

Did you verify that the ndmp session truly did not complete? If the filer is indicating that the NDMP session is completed, but Netbackup never finishes, is there any messages on the Netbackup indicating the reason for the failure?

Is there a firewall between your backup server and the filer?
If so, you may be blowing the session timeout, so the filer isn't communicating back to the backup server that it has finished.

I configured one of 3040s to be backed to tape through directly attached NDMP using direct attached tape drive, the issue is that after data written, from Netbackup the session never finish, but on the filer, ndmp session shows it finished and tape is unloaded.
Netbackup 5.1MP2 Filer: 3040 with NTAP 7.2.3
Did anybody see similar issue on your filer?
Thanks jackie
