NMC failed to Launch-GST service failures_NMC Redundency
Hello,
Twice in a week , GST service failed on NMC on the master server, only apparent intervention at the time of failure was restarting a failed group via nmc.
even after i restarted the GST service , NMC failed to launch ( but was fine in the morning-without any further interventions), i have a case open with emc.Its quite a inconvenience as OPS staff watch the backups all night on alerts and i get woken up everytime it hiccups .....
Networker 7.3.3 & NMC 3.1 on Windows
Questions:
What alternative do i have to monitor networker activities such as backup, mounts , restarts etc when the console is down ?
I have attempted to create a separate instance of NMC on on other pc\server but failed to connect to the master server , would NMC 3.4 ( with 7.4) be able to connect to NMC 3.1 ( older Netoworker versions < 7.4).
Is a networker server install needed to use NMC or older management GUI pointed back to master backup server ( one that i am interested in monitoring) ?
Let me know what other options do i have ?
Thanks

NMC for 7.4 can be used to monitor previous servers - this has been done my several sites I know.
For NMC you just need to install client (if that is the last question that you ask).
