Hey All,

 

Since upgrading to 6.1.2, I occasionally run in to the below problem.

 

I'll create a client named clienta.nt.wfubmc.edu but get the below
error.

 

* clienta.wfubmc.edu:C: 1 retry attempted

* clienta.wfubmc.edu:C: save: SYSTEM error: `clienta.wfubmc.edu' is not
a registered client

* clienta.wfubmc.edu:C: save: Cannot open save session with backupserver

 

No big deal right... either change the client DNS suffix, or add
clienta.wfubmc.edu to aliases field of clienta.nt.wfubmc.edu.  In some
cases it doesn't help to do either.  After some fiddling with the alias
field sometimes it'll eventually work, but it seems a little silly to
have to delete and reenter that same alias 3 or more times before it
works correctly.  BTW I typically use the W2K Admin GUI to manage my
server which resides on Solaris 2.6.  My thinking was that the W2K GUI
was adding or leaving out some hidden characters, so I tried to use both
nsradmin and nwadmin on my SUN box to create these clients with the same
results.

 

I have one client that is named clientb.nt.wfubmc.edu.  But I still get
the below error:

 

* clientb.nt.wfubmc.edu:C: 1 retry attempted

* clientb.nt.wfubmc.edu:C: save: SYSTEM error: `clientb.nt.wfubmc.edu'
is not a registered client

* clientb.nt.wfubmc.edu:C: save: Cannot open save session with
backupserver

 

Strange that it gives me this error and includes the name I have
configured in Legato as not registered.

 

I now have 3 clients that I can't get backed up because of this
problem...  Is there something else that could cause the 'not a
registered client' error?  I've triple checked my DNS forward and
reverse entries and they are correct.

 

SUN E450/Solaris 2.6

Solstice 6.1.2

 

TIY,

 

 

Joel
