Networker does reverse name lookup. If your primary hostname resolution
is NIS or DNS, probably it returns yyyyy.hilton.com for the specific
address.
You can either fix the NIS/DNS name resolution or change the default
nsswitch.conf so that host resolution will be first from your local
hosts file and if not found fail over to NIS/DNS.

Subject: [Networker] Old backup server name won't go away


I've just run across a situation that I need some help with. I took an
old unused Networker backup server that was running Solaris 6 and
Networker 5.5.1 and I completely rebuilt it with Solaris 8 and Networker
6.1.2. I changed the host name to bbbbb (name disguised to protect the
innocent) during the OS load. Changed DNS because I kept the same IP
address the old server had. Its previous name was yyyyy.

Jbconfig ran just fine. Can label tapes with no problem. Only client on
this box is itself. I assigned client bbbbb to the Default group. When I
start the Default group if fails immediately with the following:

* bbbbb.hilton.com:All Couldn't look up address for your host
(yyyyy.hilton.com)

* bbbbb.hilton.com:All Permission denied

Any ideas where the old backup server's name (yyyyy) is coming from.
I've looked in the usual places /nsr/res/servers and /nsr/res/nsr.res
but can find no reference to yyyyy. Did I mention that I re-partitioned
the disks and rebuilt the /nsr filesystem before loading Networker
6.1.2?

All ideas are welcome.
