Did you run that savefs? Because in my case savefs does not work that way. Actually with those arguments it fails at the end.

So, here we see the file systems.

Usually you really see this kind of message when you do the typo in client name or with name resolution, but that doesn't seems to be the case here. As savefs will do the discovery (query /etc/vfstab on Solaris and /etc/fstab on the others) if you use All it seems like problem is somewhere there. I guess those file systems have their ownership and perhaps that is what is causing the issue. My understanding is you have cluster on client as well - did you run networker.cluster script (btw, if this is VCS cluster client you will need 7.2.1 on your client side)? Does the lcmap file look correct (I could see no access errors)? Are remote access set correctly on virtual/physical clients, etc... (usual cluster stuff).

With the -p option it returns similar output.

My understanding is that it has been set up for some time correctly and backing up okay; mminfo output indicates regular file system backups until 2/2/6... We are on Networker 7.1 build 230 (SCG indicates Veritas cluster is supported).

Its a very good chance that no changes have been made as they have an incredibly strict change control process here, but I won't state it categorically!

Hi David,

It is supported but:
a) being on 7.1 build 230 is asking for trouble - go to 7.1.4 if you wish to stay with 7.1.x tree (according to last update matrix 7.1 would not be supported)
b) 7.2.1 does address some issues with LCMAP under VCS - I know this as I had that last year

I just had a second client do the same thing. As soon as I replaced 'all', it's now backing up.

Hi David,

I have the same problem with a new Server 2003 client on my Networker 7.3.1 server which is running on a Server 2003 box.

It only works if I replace 'All' with it's saveset list:
SYSTEM STATE:\
SYSTEM FILES:\
SYSTEM DB:\
ASR:\
C:\
E:\
G:\
W:\

Weird!

I recently had similar issue and support asked me to upgrade to 7.2.2. Things are working good since then.

I was told by my support contractor to upgrade both the server and the clients from v7.3.1 to v7.3.2 and that did the trick. I can now use 'All' in the Savesets field.
