Description

Error Message

Unable to connect to the NDMP server, or to the remote computer that is configured as a Remote Media Agent, or to the remote computer that is configured for deduplication.

Cause

This issue can be caused by teamed NICs that are conflicting.

Resolution

Check to make sure that a ping to the NDMP device works.

If the ping fails to the device by IP, break the NIC Team and try again.

 

Note: If breaking the Team resolves the issue, try to update the firmware and drivers of the NIC cards and try to create the TEAM again.  If pinging the NDMP device with Teamed NICs still fails, please contact the hardware manufacturer to find out why the teamed NICs are not working properly.
