Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Verifying the NetWorker configuration

NetWorker contains two configurable options, the servers file that allows you to control access to a host and the aliases attribute in the Client resource, which allows you to define the names by which a host is known. When either option contains an incorrect host name, NetWorker operations can fail despite correct host name resolution and when an established connection exists between the source and destination hosts.

Ensure that the name that NetWorker uses primarily for a host appears consistently in all NetWorker resources. For example:

• Names of Client and Storage node resources. For example, if you specify the FQDN in the Name attribute when you create the Client resource for a storage node, ensure that you specify the FQDN in the Name attribute when you create the Storage Node resource.
• Names of the index database directory.
• Names specified in the Remote Access and Administrator attributes.
• Hostname references in resource attributes such as the Storage Node and Recover Storage Node attributes of a Client resource.
• Cached host certificates (NSR Peer information).
