Re: [Networker] two clients with same name

Hi

Well, we have a data centre with 21 W2K forests. Each forest has some 8ad trees that is not seen by any other server or tree. Across theseservers they have the same netbios nmae i.e. server1 but differentdomain names.

We have the same problem and our support comapny said that it is notpossible on 7.x because the manual says so and EMC says so.


So unles anyone else has a better answer i reckon the answer is no.

I have two clients with the same hostname on different subnets. They are
'mirror.admin.csd.uwo.ca' and 'mirror.syslab.csd.uwo.ca'. mirror.admin
has been around for a long time and works fine. When I added mirror.syslab
I get this error on the next backup session:

mirror.admin.csd.uwo.ca:L:\ save: SYSTEM error: client `mirror' is not
properly configured on the Sun StorEdge(TM) Enterprise Backup Server

Neither entry in nwadmin has 'mirror' as an alias. They are both named
with their full name. mirror.admin is a Windows XP box while mirror.syslab
is running Fedora Core 4.

Is this telling me I can't have two clients with the same hostname even
when they're on different subnets?
