Was "retiredname" ever a client on that networker server?
Is "deadhostname" still a valid client on your NetWorker server?
Has any of these 3 servers (retired, dead and myhost) any relationship? I mean, maybe retiredhostname was decomissioned and upgraded to deadhostname and that could be the reason why.
Being this error message shown during a restore I think that could be because some of those servers took the IP of any other servers, and that is when the issue arises.
NetWorker keeps tracking of all servers in the Media DB, and this will include information such as IP, hostname etc, so if any of the servers have either hostname or IP same as one of the decomissioned clients this error message will be shown.
There are different approaches, for example you can add the name in the alias field of the client that is complaining about:
add retiredhostname into the alias field of the deadhostname client, and give it a try.
You can also edit the hostname of the server and the client by adding an entry with:
IP deadhostname retiredhostname
So when trying to resolve the names it will detect that the same IP matches the 2 names.
Otherwise you can open a case with support so they can clean out your media DB, but be sure before that that the information backed up for client retiredhostname is no longer required to be restored.
