Solution

 

 
Run command :- tpautoconf -probe ndmp_host_name & tpautoconf -verify ndmp_host_name and found it enlists output successfully .
Telnet to 10000 port of the NDMP filer and it works fine.
 
Ran the following commands on the filer :
1)       nas_fs –list
2)       server_export   server_2
3)       nas_server -l –v
4)        server_export vdm0
5)       server_df server_2
