But only some of time and not all the drives all the time.

We have the following VERITAS Support: Case ID 280-023-493 opened to see if
we can get a fix for the problem.
If have not already done so, can you open a support case and ref our case.

Regards len

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP Drives disappear from Devices during backup


> Hello -

> I just did a new installation of Netbackup Datacenter 4.5fp3 on

> OnTap O/S is 6.4.2 and NDMP is set to version 4.
