I just noticed that our Netware clients started failing after upgrading
today.
I see the following error for all netware clients:
* fpalvik.customerdomain.com:All 1 retry attempted
* fpalvik.customerdomain.com:All rcmd fpalvik.customerdomain.com, user
.admin.customerdomain: `savefs -s britt.qbranch.se -c
fpalvik.customerdomain.com -g customergroup -p -l full -R -v'
* fpalvik.customerdomain.com:All 01/11/05 19:05:16 nsrexec: nsrexecd on
fpalvik.customerdomain.com is unavailable. Using rsh instead.
* fpalvik.customerdomain.com:All nsrexec: authtype rsh
* fpalvik.customerdomain.com:All No 'NSR client' resource for client
fpalvik
* fpalvik.customerdomain.com:All Cannot retrieve client resources for
fpalvik on britt.qbranch.se
* fpalvik.customerdomain.com:All Backup fpalvik: failed.
Is this because of article legato65286 (included below) or something else?
Anyone else seeing this? I'll try to set that variable in a moment to see
if that helps, but I still wonder why one would require a variable that
enables netware support to begin with?
Full article below:
Solution Title: Error: 'no nsr client resource for client (Client_Name)'
Solution ID: legato65286
Here is the solution:
On Windows server, set this as a system environment variable; a reboot
will be required.
Known issue: LGTpa66146. If the parent or child of this fix is installed
on NetWorker 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 servers, you will need to set an environment
variable NSR_SUPPORT_NETWARE_4X=1 to enable NetWare client support. When
netware support is enabled the following message will apprear in the
daemon.log "Support for Netware clients is enabled." Please contact Legato
Customer Support if you have this problem with newer releases.
On Windows server, add a system environment variable
NSR_SUPPORT_NETWARE_4X and set it value to 1; a reboot will be required.
For Unix servers: the variable must be exported before starting up
NetWorker server daemons. For example, using /bin/sh or /bin/ksh
# nsr_shutdown -q
# NSR_SUPPORT_NETWARE_4X=1; export NSR_SUPPORT_NETWARE_4X
# nsrexecd
# nsrd
Here is the problem or goal:
Error: 'no nsr client resource for client (Client_Name)'
Error: '(NetWare_client_long_name):(Save_set_name) No 'NSR client'
resource for client (NetWare_client_short_name)'
Error: 'cannot retrieve client resources for (NetWare_client_name) on
(Server_long_name)'
Problem Environment:
NetWorker 7.1.2
NetWorker for NetWare 4.21
Recovers happen successfully from the clientside
All NetWare clients failed with the same error message
Causes of this problem:
A new variable was introduced through the mentioned patch to NetWorker
7.1.1 and up.
