Networkers,

Question: *Must* I have a client cluster license to backup an unshared file
system on hpux mc/sg cluster node?  If so why? - what additional
functionality does it provide?

networker network edition, 6.1.2.
hp-ux 11.0 server/storage node, non-clustered.
hp-ux 11i cluster clients (2).

I have a new 2 node hp-ux cluster.  I have an existing Legato Networker
environment consisting of 1 server and 3 clients - non-clustered.  I have
available client licenses.  I just want to backup filesystems on my cluster
nodes, nothing fancy, no failover packages, etc.  The cluster nodes do not
share any file systems.  I have installed the client s/w on the 2 cluster
nodes.  When I attempt to backup the nodes, on the server I get messages
like the following for each filesystem on the clients:

Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/ save: Cannot open save session
with prd
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/stand 1 retry attempted
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/stand save: RAP error: Unable to
grant UNIX CLUSTER CLIENT license: Too many clients.  Maximum is 0
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/stand
Jan 21 16:44:18 dmss Networker: * rac1:/stand save: Cannot open save session

It is true that I don't have any cluster license.  However I don't
understand why I need one.  I just want to backup filesystems like I've
always done on the non-clustered clients.

Please advise.

Thanks,
