backups failing for one server

When I try to run my backups on one of my clients I see the following error:

sudo savegrp -p -c 'clientname' 'Group'
05/15/06 15:30:19 savegrp: command 'savefs -s servername.com -c clientname -g Group -p -l full -R -v ' for client clientname exited with return code 1.
05/15/06 15:30:19 savegrp: job (15138) host: clientname savepoint: clientname:All had ERROR indication(s) at completion.
* client:All savefs: RPC error: Authentication failed or no valid authentication methods supported by both client and server
* client:All savefs: Cannot access nsr server `servername.com'
savefs clientname: failed.
05/15/06 15:30:19 savegrp: clientname:probe failed.

Here are the error messages I see in the server's daemon.log:

05/15/06 15:30:19 nsrexecd: SYSTEM error: An error occured when a client attempted to acquire credentials: error: "A daemon requested the information for a user session, but the user session was not found in the list of valid sessions" session number: 0:7, user id: (NONE).
05/15/06 15:30:19 nsrexecd: GSS Legato authentication from clientname.com failed...
05/15/06 15:30:19 nsrexecd: RPC error: Authentication error

Server platforms are Solaris 9, SPARC, networker version is 7.3.

your failure was with savefs, so you now need to dig down and find why...
am assuming this client backs up to a different storage node or nsrserverhost, as you have referred to it just as a client.

check that networker on the client is running correctly....
i.e. nsrexecd processes
run rpcinfo -p from client to nsr server
run rpcino -p from server to client (can you see nsr ports...7937,7938 etc)

can you ping the short & fqdn to each other...

are their firewalls between these systems?

your using sudo, so if you can get root access and try to run a manual save and see how it functions...
# save -s nsrsvr -l full -v /var/tmp
increase -v to -vvvv if necessary to increase verbosity

It is working now.

Things I should have noted.

We are in the process of migrating legato to a new server, and the client that was failing was the old server.

I had tried removing client and server packages from the client. Removing client from the server.

The "save" command worked fine from the client.

I discovered I needed to uninstall the LGTOclnt, move the old server's /nsr directories, and re-install the LGTOclnt. There must have been a leftover config file of some sort in there that was confusing the new server.
No Events found!
