Hi Graham,

This is resolved in Data ONTAP 5.3 and higher. ndmpd is rsh'able. In Data ONTAP 5.3 we ported the NDMP server to the JVM on the filer. One of the reasons to allow more than 5 NDMP concurrent sessions. We have now set an arbitary limit of 1000.

Cheers, Grant

I was quite suprised that you cannot do a "rsh toaster ndmpd status".

Does anyone know of any tricks to get the status of ndmpd connections from a Unix shell? I want to make sure connections are available before i launch ndmpcopy processes.

Along the same lines - is it possible to increase the amount of concurrent ndmp sessions beyond the default of 5?

Thanks, Graham
