Hi, 
You should not have to rename server for NMC problems, in extreme case you 
may need to re-install, but most of the time its the GST process that 
needs re-starting.
I am still not clear on what are the errors that prevent networker from 
backing up correctly, does networker services start up ? are the devices 
online.
Did you have to reset any pools, devices etc, start from beginning and 
troubleshoot the most basic functionality like devices, services, you can 
start the networker services with -D 9 parameter to get more logging. ( 
Windows Platform)
If you do not get the problem resolved in time, one of the options to 
consider would be to do in-house DR after making sure the server name\TCP 
properties  etc are reset to what they were before this happened.( Refer 
to DR Guide).
HTH

[Networker] Networker Server Rename






The server was operational, but I needed to rename the server. After that 
I could not connect with the management console. I removed and reinstalled 
the management console which allowed me to see my configuration again, but 
I cannot run backups for any groups including the default group that the 
server belongs to. The clients are configured to accept backups from any 
networker server and resolve using DNS.
