My guess is that it's the savegrp progress file which is the problem. Try
running this using "truss -o /tmp/savegrp.truss savegrp -v -l full testfull"
and searching back for "= E" from there. This should lead you to some sort of
error which will identify which file it's trying to open, allowing you to check
permissions etc. from there.
Cheers,
Stuart.

Subject: [Networker] cannot open new progress file?
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: group testfull aborted.

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
