You have to give both source and destinations authuntication on that command. Please find the below command for example.

ndmpcopy [-sa <username>:<password>] [-da <username>:<password>] <source> <destination>

Tried the user name for both source and destination but facing the same source authentication error when i delete the source then it prompt the destination authentication error and when i deltee both source and destinatin id in the filer then i am aable to ndmpcopy in the same filer. Please note down that i have taken the above steps in same filer.

If you are doing ndmpcopy in the same filer you don't need any authentication. You can directly run the ndmpcopy command.

ndmpcopy fas01:/vol/vol1 fas02:/vol/vol1

The above command is enough.

Note : Please use root account and root password only.

Hi,

The KB "How to use NDMP-based copy utilities (such as ndmpcopy) to copy data between the same or different modes of Data ONTAP" uses:

For 7-Mode:

Step 1: Enable NDMP and set a password on the source and destination storage systems.

Enable NDMP:
netapp> ndmpd on
Create a new user specifically for NDMP:
netapp*> useradmin user add ndmp -g "Backup Operators"
New password: XXXXXXXXX
Retype new password: XXXXXXXXX
User <ndmp> added.
Non-root users have a special NDMP password that is different from their login password and is displayed by this command:
netapp> ndmpd password ndmp
password MzUV5p6R
Set NDMP to accept both plaintext and md5 authentication requests:
netapp> options ndmpd.authtype plaintext,challenge

Step 2: Determine the arguments for your NDMP based copy

For 7-Mode:
Authentication Type: Can be encrypted (called challenge or md5) or clear text (called text or clear-text); md5 / challenge is recommended
Hostname or IP: Hostname or IP address of the storage controller
Path: Path in the format /vol/volume (or /vol/volume/qtree or /vol/volume/qtree/file)

If running the Data ONTAP 7-Mode ndmpcopy command
Build a command line:
ndmpcopy -d -sa <source_user>:<source_pass> -st <auth_type> -da <dest_user>:<dest_pass> -dt <auth_type> <hostname_or_IP>:<source_path> <hostname_or_IP>:<dest_path>

Example syntax for a 7-Mode to 7-Mode NDMP-based copy by running the ndmpcopy command:
netapp> ndmpcopy -d -sa ndmp:v0smhhqZ -st md5 -da ndmp:v0smhhqZ -dt md5 10.64.31.43:/vol/chris2/qt2 10.64.31.43:/vol/chris2/qt2-copy

Hope this helps.

Kind regards
