Hello Alpha Managers...
Please forgive me if this is an ignorant question. I tried reading the
Networker manual (!) and checking the archives for answers to this question,
but could not solve my problem.
I recently tried to use NetWorker for the first time. After typing
"networker" or "nwadmin" at the command prompt (as root), I was getting the
message "nsrhost not found in host file; trying hopland instead". hopland
is the name of our (only) DEC Alphastation, a 250 4/266 running DU 3.2c. I
tried "nwadmin -s hopland", and also added nsrhost as an alias in the
/etc/hosts file for hopland. While I no longer got the "nsrhost not
found..." message, when I get into NetWorker, it tells me "*** Server Not
Available ***" in the Server line.
So... I tried to use the "Change Server" button. While "hopland" appears as
the the only choice, when I click on "hopland" and then the "OK" button, the
message "Server 'hopland': server not available".
So...
1) What I'm guessing here is that there is some setting up that I need to do
before I can use NetWorker. I can't figure out what that is.
2) Another possibility is that I have no idea what I'm doing, and I just
don't know how to use NetWorker properly.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I wonder if I can call Digital for
help with this?
Colin
