Please add it to DNS or the hosts file and flush the NetWorker server's DNS cache (dbgcommand -p <NetWorker server pid> FlushDnsCache).
 
server_name_destination:~ # cat /etc/hosts | grep client_name_1
10.x.x.x    client_name_1.dns client_name_1

 

Ursache

The error occurs when the storage node client is imported successfully before the other clients, which maintain a "migrated" state. As designed, only clients in an "Active" state are allowed for DNS lookup, leading to the observed error when subsequent clients with the same storage node host entry are processed.

To clarify, this issue does not arise if the storage node client is imported first and its state is then changed from "Migrated" to "Active."

 

Lösung

A code fix  NETWORKER-105521 is available in the following NetWorker releases:

  • 19.11.0.5
  • 19.12.0.1
  • above 19.13.x
