Summary

Symptoms
A Linux BMR login attempt fails with the error message "Invalid hostname. Be sure to use the cDOT SVM (Vserver), not the cluster management address" while connecting to a valid IP address of a Management port on a properly configured SVM.
Resolution
Ensure that the NDMP protocol is enabled and "ON" on the SVM using the steps below from a cluster login at the admin privilege level:
::>vserver services ndmp show
::>vserver add-protocols -vserver <server_name> -protocols ndmp
::>vserver services ndmp on -vserver <server_name>Run the BMR login after performing the above and validating that NDMP is now running.
