nsrmmd missing from polling reply, restarting nsrmmd # on storagenode_name

Have you tried to delete the storage node and it's related devices and recreating them?

I see no much sense in upgrading into something that is EOL in week or so.

If you get this message that I would not say that everything works fine. It means that nsrmmd for device has vanished (core dump?) or network communication is bad and server can't reach it over RPC. I would suggest to check those two.

My problem is solved,

It's was a problem of DNS :

files hosts of my networker server
x.x.x.x storage1
x.x.x.x storage1.mydns.fr

x.x.x.x storage2
x.x.x.x storage2.mydns.fr

files hosts of my two storages nodes
x.x.x.x networkersrv
x.x.x.x networkersrv.mydns.fr

Hi,

For clarification, The /etc/hosts file should contain hostnames or aliases for each IP address listed on the same line according to the following format:

x.x.x.x networkersrv networkersrv.mydns.fr


The NetWorker /nsr/res/servers file requires the entries to be listed one after another:

networkersrv
networkersrv.mydns.fr

Hi,

I am using NW 7.3.3 on Win2K3 with three clustered storage node.
Here is the devcies configuration in NMC.

rd= :\Adv_File1_Backup_Path
rd = :\Adv_File2_ Backup_Path
rd= :\Adv_File3_Backup_Path

With this config NW failed to detect adv_file device when one of the hosts went down yesterday during backup.
The adv_file (SAN LUN) is allocated to the physical node so it didn't failover with the other resources.

Then I decided to use virtual_name and added one more device.

rd= :\Adv_File_Backup_Path.
(Added one more LUN and configure it as a cluster resource on node 1)

Test backup completed successfully but it spam daemon.log file with the message

Check storage node < host name> (nsrmmd is missing from polling)

Check storage node < virtual name> (nsrmmd is missing from polling)

I didn't see these messages after I deleted the adv_file device as well as that entry for the storage node.

NW server > media properties
nsrmmd polling interval: 3
nsrmmd restart interval: 2
nsrmmd control timeout: 5

All three storage nodes have 8 devcies each.
NW server (Network edition) has 4 devices.

Any suggestions ?

How can I configure storage node for virtual node in the cluster ?

Pls advice.

If I remember correctly, for storage nodes only, devices should be attached to physical nodes only. At least this was what guide used to state before.
