I have a strange problem with NetWorker 7.4SP2 and a 7.4SP1 client.
Both server and client are Red Hat Linux. This client was backing up
fine until Sept. 12th. Then all of a sudden, it fails and I get
errors in the savegroup report that look like ...
permission denied, `root' on `client.temple.edu' must have remote
access privilege to client backup_server.temple.edu.
Why would the backup need remote access on the server's client
resource? I tried going that, but I still get the same error
message. I checked the /etc/hosts file on this client and its fine.
I am searching PowerLink's Knowledgebase, but thus far, I am not
more knowledgeable on this issue! :(
This particular server backs up 40 other Linux clients and a handful
of Windows clients and this is the only client that has this problem.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, please let me know.
Thanks to those of you who responded to my inquiry. I opened a case
with EMC's tech support. They had me add root@client to my NetWorker
server's administrator list. The backup succeeded after I did that.
Why this client's backup fails without having its root account have
administrator's rights on my NetWorker server is a mystery. I would
obviously prefer to not take this step, so if anyone knows of a better
option, let me know. I am going to keep this case open with EMC to get
a better solution.
