I'm getting the following error when trying to run any groups (manual or auto enabled) on our server:

savegrp: error, cannot open new progress file

I also tried adding just a single client (fred) to a group (testfull) (pool=testfull) and then running that group as:

# savegrp -v -l full testfull
fred:All                                level=full
11/23/06 17:36:36 savegrp: Run up to 20 clients in parallel
11/23/06 17:36:36 savegrp: error, cannot open new progress file
11/23/06 17:36:36 savegrp: Failed to update server, aborting Savegroup.
11/23/06 17:36:36 savegrp: group testfull aborted.
11/23/06 17:36:36 savegrp: no save sets to check if written to verified media
11/23/06 17:36:36 savegrp: error, cannot open new progress file
11/23/06 17:36:36 savegrp: Failed to update server, aborting Savegroup.

However, I am able to back up data to this group from the client as: save -b testfull -l full /path

We're running 7.2.2 on Solaris 2.9 with a Linux storage node (also runs 7.2.2). All clients are at 7.2.2. The current media database and indexes were transferred over from our old 6.1.1 server (was running Solaris 2.8). The server name is the same. I ran nsrim -X on the old server before the transfer and on the new server after. The old server is shut down to avoid any ip conflicts while the new server is up. We've been doing recent backups on the old server, so the new server was still considered a "test" server. If I wanted to test it, I would shut down the old server and then bring up the new one. I know I'd done backups a while ago without seeing these problems. I went to put the new server into production today, and then this happens! Sheesh! I should note that I'm able to load, unload, mount, label and inventory tapes. Recovering data that was written to tapes labeled on the old server also works. I am
also able to clone data from old tapes and read that data to.

Any ideas?

I'm having a lousy thanksgiving [sigh ...]. Thanks much.

George
