I know of one issue involving hanging GUIs in NetWorker 6.1.1, but I don't
think it applies here. It involves a known bug in 6.1.1 (filed as
LGTpa33980) which is fixed with a patch to nsrmmdbd. However, the patch
causes a memory consumption problem when using nwadmin (not sure if it's
only when using the UNIX GUI, or if it's both NT and UNIX.) At the
Legato engineer's suggestion, however, I updated to 6.1.3 and my problems
went away.
(For anyone who wants to know, the original bug, LGTpa33980, involved the
situation in which indexes for a client don't properly age out if that
client's resource is deleted, resulting in tapes which never expire/become
recyclable. At our site this bug was responsible for inadvertently
"freezing" 780 tapes, so the fix in 6.1.3 was a welcome relief!)

Re: [Networker] NetWorker User GUI hanging...
Hrmm...
OK
Machines aren't busy - sitting there idling at the moment.
Free space on Index partition is 30+ gb.
What level of nsrck should I do? Is it safe to run a 7? (looks like
that pulls it off of the tapes and what not)

Brian,
Check out the man page for nsrck. I'm not saying you have corrupt
indices, but it is a possiblity. You may also want to check how much
free space you have in the partition that houses /nsr. You might also
want to verify that the machines having a problem aren't just very busy.
Thanks,
Carston

OK, well, after waiting for quite a while, it seems that the GUI finally
lets me into something.
Every directory I traverse, however, takes a good 3-5 minutes.
Carston, you mentioned index corruption - how can I test for
this/resolve it? The GUI does hang on it's own indexes...

I just click on the handy little icon. =)
I should also probably specify that this is running on Windows 2000,
with Networker 6.1.1

How do You run it? Try with -s name_of_backup_server or/and -s
IP_of_backup_server.
Cheers,
