Explanation
The server attempted to connect to a file server.
The connection failed because of one of the following possible reasons:
- One of the parameters specified during datamover definition was
incorrect: TCP/IP address of the file server, user id, password, TCP/IP
port
- File server does not support requested NDMP version
- File server is not accessible
- NDMP server limits the number of opened NDMP sessions
- An unsupported model of the filer server was detected
- If the message specifies address 127.0.0.1 or the address of the
server system, the NDMPCONTROLPORT and/or NDMPPORTRANGE options may
be set to port numbers or ranges which are already in use.
System action
TSM server backup/restore of the file server
fails.
User response
Check if file server is accessible through the
network; check each of the attributes specified during datamover definition;
check NDMP versions supported by the file server; check the number
of open NDMP sessions with the file server, verify that file server
model is supported by TSM server. If the server's address is in the
message ensure that the ports specified or defaulted for options NDMPCONTROLPORT
and/or NDMPPORTRANGE are available for use. Depending on the operating
system, the netstat operating system command may be used to determine
in-use port numbers.
