Dear Experts,

I am installing legato networker 7.1 on a new machine (solaris8, hostname
iris) and try to backup from existing clients (also Solaris8) running
version 5.5.

local backups (client=iris) are no problem. backups from the clients fail
with the following message:

* maia:/export/versant 1 retry attempted
* maia:/export/versant Host iris cannot request command execution
* maia:/export/versant 02/23/05 11:56:19 nsrexec: Host iris cannot request
command execution
* maia:/export/versant Permission denied


I have already set the "Remote Access" parameter in the client resource to
"root@iris" and also created a file /nsr/res/servers on maia which contains
a list of hostnames, among them iris, one per line. Still not working.

Is there any other prerequisite or restriction that must be observed? Do i
have to restart something after making changes? Basic RPC is no problem,
since i can do rsh without problems. all machines use the same NIS domain.

I should mention that all my clients, including maia, were being accessed
successfully from the old networker server 'maia'.


The remote access attribute is not relevant to this problem.

The servers file is what controls this, it needs to be edited on each of the clients to include the name of the new NetWorker server, and then you need to restart NetWorker on the clients, since the file is only read when nsrexecd starts. Understand that this file exists for security reasons.
