Netware and Storage Nodes
Hi
I'm trying to change my Netware clients to backup to a Storage Node instead of the backup Server, but I keep getting RPC errors. It only happens with the 7.2.1 Netware clients - the 4.x clients all happily backup to the storage node.
When I change it to backup to the server again it works.
I have tested communications between the Storage Node and the Netware client, and is working 100%.
Environment: Netware 6.5 SP 5 with Networker Client for Netware v7.2.1, backup server and storage node is 7.2.1.
Errors:
* grpc-nov:GWINS: NetWorker : Client Host Node : GRPC-NOV is cluster
aware
* grpc-nov:GWINS: SAVE.NLM: RPC error: RPC receive operation failed.
A
network connection could not be established with the host.
* grpc-nov:GWINS: SAVE.NLM: RPC error: RPC send operation failed. A
network connection could not be established with the host.
* grpc-nov:GWINS: SAVE.NLM: RPC error: Unknown host
* grpa-nov:SYS: SAVE.NLM: RPC error: Unknown host
* grpa-nov:SYS: SAVE.NLM: RPC error: Unknown host
* grpc-nov:GWINS: NetWorker : Client Host Node : GRPC-NOV is cluster
aware
* grpc-nov:GWINS: SAVE.NLM: RPC error: Unknown host
* grpc-nov:SYS: NetWorker : Client Host Node : GRPC-NOV is cluster
aware
* grpc-nov:SYS: SAVE.NLM: RPC error: RPC send operation failed. A
network connection could not be established with the host.
Any idea why this is not working?

Now I am successfully using the 7.2.1 client to talk directly to a storagenode and that works pretty good. I don't recall having to do much odd to get that to work. The only thing popping into my head is to make sure that you have put the storagenode dns/ip info into the sys:/etc/hosts file. If it isn't there then the client doesn't think it is authorized to talk to it... so even tho you can do dns lookups, that isn't good enough... has to be in hosts... I have learned over the years that 'unknown host' often times mean unauthorized host when it comes to networker.

Actually it does talk, but all data goes over the server and not directly to storage node. This is truth for ALL NetWorker clients based on 4.x code as storage node concept did not exist at that time. When Legato made 7.x based client that was major step forward (even there is much work to be done yet).
