This error occurs when NDMP Backups (primarily Netapp) are run from a NetVault Client.
When an Netapp NDMP Job kicks off, and uses the option for "Backup Subvolumes Individually" the backup server will spawn the primary job and also spawn the concurrent jobs for the sub-volumes and subvolume q-trees in the job. Since the NV Client does not have a Scheduler, it cannot technically spawn these sub-jobs, hence the failure.
There are 2 options to resolve this:
-------------
1.) Create single-volume NDMP jobs for each clients NDMP volume
1b.) Ensure that the Plugin Options set used for those jobs *DO NOT* have the option for "Backup Sub-Volumes Individually" checked.
2.) Install the NDMP Plugin on the NetVault Server instead of the client.
*Note this may defeat the purpose of the backup if it is on NDMP attached SmartClient, but if the backup device is directly-attached to the Filer, and not a client, then there should be no loss in performance when moving it to the NV Server.
