Well, currently we have 26 finishing with status 1. All the clients are NT.
The current working theory is that this is because the OTM on these 26
machiens need tweaking. This theory is further fed by document
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/233254.htm.

I am informed by Veritas that the Windows Administration Client will also
perform the task I require. However all the clients we want to configure
must have a 'SERVER =' line for the administration client machine. The other
option for managing OTM is to manually modify registry settings, not
something I relish doing with some encoded values and undocumented settings.

I now know the minimum requirements however.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Minimal NT server for Client configuration


If I understand correctly what you are saying here, I miss the point
of additional "NT" server.  Why??

I have Solaris master (netbackup 3.2) and all my clients are netback
3.2 NT/UNIX.  The NT clients were recently upgraded from 3.1.1 to
3.2 and on some of clients, the backups failed with error 11 (mostly
attributed to OTM settings).  I had the NT admin change the settings
and for most part the problems subsided.  My concern is we are rolling
out 3.4 enterprise wide and does this have me revisit all the OTM
settings?

What is the advanatge of having this minimal NT server to manage clients?
We seem to be doing fine without it.
