hello managers,
here comes an update and small corrections to the summary i sent
last week. tom webster suggested to add 'localhost' and every
other possible name of the server (just ask your DNS for all
aliases) in the file /nsr/res/servers on the server. tom wrote,
that the server might sometimes not be able to make a connection
to himself, if some aliases are missing.
regine polnick pointed out, that i misquoted her. the trick she
suggested, was to rename nsrim and to generate a skript with the
name nsrim, which does nothing. the real nsrim (which is now
called nsrim.original or something like that) can be called weekly
or even more often by cron.
i added the aliases and renamed nsrim. we don't get any errors like:
> * gretchen.pz-oekosys.uni-kiel.de:bootstrap save:
> SYSTEM error, Permission denied
anymore. but we still get:
> * aramis.pz-oekosys.uni-kiel.de:/export/aramis10 1 retry attempted
> * aramis.pz-oekosys.uni-kiel.de:/export/aramis10 02/07/00 22:54:29
> nsrexec: Attempting a kill on remote save
> * aramis.pz-oekosys.uni-kiel.de:/export/aramis10 aborted due to
inactivity
and it seems like there are no incremental backups done! the full
backup seems to run nicely.
any further hints are greatly apreciated!
yours,
andreas bunten
my original question was:
< dear managers,
<
< we are backing up a few few alphas running digital unix 4.0d with
< networker 5.5.1.Build.143 Turbo/4. the alphas are not patched. since the
< upgrade of networker we get lots of messages like the following in
< /nsr/logs/daemon.log ->
<
< 01/25/00 23:19:23 nsrindexd: session start error for

<
< there is a lot data written to tape and we are unsure what the
< consequences of the above errors are since we could recover data fromthe

<
< we would like to know, what the problem is and where we might get some
