Unable to extract resource info for client...

Hi,

we are going to migrate to a new windows domain from old windows domain and now im performing tests.

after migration I have problems with backup of the clients,
I get "Unable to extract resource info for client". I thought it can be related with naming resolution but it resolves OK using servername.old.domain.com and using servername.new.domain.com, IP of the server is not changed. res\servers file changed and services restarted.

What I did wrong? maybe some additional steps are required when migrating to new domain? btw. aliases also added to use servername.old.domain.com and servername.new.domain.com

You should have renamed client. Now make sure aliases are set and servers files too.

no, clients are still in old domain.
but im trying to backup only backup server it self and I get:

1 retry attempted
save: RAP error: Unable to extract resource info for client servername.new.domain.com.
save: Cannot open save session with servername.new.domain.com

Ok I think I fixed it in this way:

removed from aliases servername.old.domain.com and restarted server.
but I lost indexes and it created new folder servername.new.domain.com

to resolve this problem, is it enough to stop services, copy everything from servername.old.domain.com to servername.new.domain.com and start services?

because index folders of client computes have no suffixes in their folders, but backupserver index folder is with fqdn (old.domain.com and new.domain.com)

whole process how I did migration was:

stopped networker services.
rejoined to a new domain,
rebooted services.
Networker started without any problems, it could find indexes of my backup server and so on. but backup did not started,
when I've added into aliases:

servername.new.domain.com
servername.old.domain.com
servername

previously aliases were:

servername.old.domain.com
servername

Hi Martynas,

I suggest you read this document carefully:

https://powerlink.emc.com/nsepn/webapps/btg548664833igtcuup4826/km/live1/en_US/ESG_Legacy_Conversion/Support/Bulletins/396.htm

this document describe how to rename a networker server correctly.

Regards,

Martynas,

if you are using shortname for the client-name, this can also be a networker issue where /nsr/tmp holds some info on the client-name.
Depending on your version of networker (I think 7.1.2 and older have this issue), you may want to stop networker server, remove /nsr/tmp, and then start networker server. /nsr/tmp will be recreated at startup of networker.

Try to backup client now.

This issue should be solved in versions 7.2.2 and later.

goodluck,

Xander
