DR Networker

Hi Paramesh

1) If I bring up networker in the D/R ( ofcourse after shutting down the Prod one ), will the auth codes get disabled on both ( Prod and D/R )

Ans: The auth code wont work with the new hardware as the hostid of the server is different.

2) Also if am ok there, will I be able to perform client restores ?

Ans: Yes you will be able to perform recovery.

Arun

Thanks for your quick response !

1) I agree with you. But if you look at the DR guide, I follow the same steps where I delete the old networker server name occurrences using nsradmin and copy its clientid ( Prod server ) and create a new client ( paste this clientid here ) . Now this new server takes over the ownership of all savesets that the original server had previously. - Networker does come up fine !

2) Regarding the client restore - I was able to do it the first time, but when I attempted the 2nd time, it said " 53362:recover: Cannot start session with server ntw1-dre-1: client `IP Address` is not properly configured on the NetWorker Server

Appreciate any comments on these !

Thanks

This appears to be a resolution issue. Are the client and server resoruces and host files configured proeprly?

Hi Paramesh,

    For the first question, you can refer the document suggested by Bobby.The error you got is related to name resolution. Check nslookup, aliases and hosts file.
