About verifying NDMP password and robot connection
When you authorize NetBackup access to the NDMP host and configure robots using the NetBackup Administration Console, NetBackup automatically verifies the NDMP credentials and the robotic configuration. If you want, you can re-verify them. For example:
tpautoconf -verify ndmp_host_name
A successful verification looks like the following:
Connecting to host "stripes" as user "root"... Waiting for connect notification message... Opening session--attempting with NDMP protocol version n... Opening session--successful with NDMP protocol version n host supports MD5 authentication Getting MD5 challenge from host... Logging in using MD5 method... Host info is: host name "stripes" os type "NetApp" os version "NetApp Release n.n.n.n" host id "0033625811" Login was successful Host supports LOCAL backup/restore Host supports 3-way backup/restore
