I opened a case last week with EMC. #29665292

Anyone running 7.4.4 or 7.4.x at all and seen these messages about
a machine not owning a path because the path is owned by that
machine?
I've had a case open with EMC on this for some time for a customer,
with engineering still investigating. It's been low priority because
while it's an error, the backups are actually succeeding, and
recoveries work too.
The problem occurs where there is a discrepancy on the client between
its name and DNS - either caused by being in a DMZ and the local name
is different from DNS used by NSR to reach it, or simply aliases.
In fact, there's a simple reproduction method for it that I'll give
below.
Further testing showed that while it appeared in 7.4.4, it's not there
when you go up to 7.5.1 on BOTH server and client - if you do it only
on the server it's not sufficient.
Here's what I did to reproduce:
1. Server name 'rhltst1', defined in DNS
2. Client defined as 'rhltst2' in DNS, but with /etc/hosts and local
hostname of 'sneezy'.
3. Create client 'rhltst2' in NetWorker, with aliases of 'rhltst2' and
'sneezy'.
4. Run backup of 'rhltst2'.
4. Backup completes with the accompanying error message everyone is
talking about.
