the Storage Node list is invalid

Hi,

We are using backups on SAN & have configured two NDMP filers also.

NDMP backups are perfect. All backups are running good but we are getting this Warning in the daemon.log - the Storage Node list is invalid.

All we could figure out is that we have defined nsrserverhost as second storage node on filer's client resource. The first one of course is filer's hostname.

Could this be a problem(we can chekc this onsite during the day) but could there be any other problem?

Where does NW store the list of storage nodes and read form there while working?

    Didn't see that yet, but obviously first step would be to remove nsrserverhost from NDMP client resource.

    Looks like networker is aware of NDMP devices configured on the storagenode. Do you have an NDMP device configured on nsrserverhost? If not, indeed try to delete nsrserverhost from storage nodes field.

    Could be.

    Strange enough though, we removed nsrserverhost from NDMP clients & restarted services, it stopped firing this error.

    Now we have put in the nsrserverhost in the NDMP client & it is still working fine without the error.

    May be the restarting services has done some trick but we would observer for a couple of days and then perhaps raise a Priority 3 ticket with Support to help understand the behaviour.

    Actually that would be seen as priority 4 given that is question and for those you might wait eternity to get an answer. Not sure if that is worth of opening SR to be honest.

    No NDMP devices are through Fibre attached Tape Library using DDS.

    True, even if I don't know if they ask for more logs or command outputs I don't know where to go.

    But I am a bit curious on this.

    May be I will try and replicate in my lab and see if NDMP behaves like this there as well.

    I went through www.backupcentral.com wherein someone has faced the same problem with NDMP and has never been able to resolve.
