Thanks Bingo

How do I verify the storage node list? There is an old M1800 library and server configured as a storage node in addition to the 'main' SL500 library. I have been trying to scan in the 'old' M1800 SDLT Type II tapes .

The set-up looks like this

backup-main server - SL500 tape library attached.
backup-old server - M1800 tape library attached. (Configured as a storage node of backup-main)

Scanning from backup-old to backup-main.

The clients from the backup-old server have been added to the client list on the backup-main server as M1800-xyz. Bingo, as you mention that the storage node list for the clients is not right - what should the storage-nodes parameter for the M1800-xyz clients be? Its currently set to "nsrserverhost".

Thanks for your help.

Paul

Each NW host uses the ports 7937 and 7938 (for the built-in portmapper). Make

NW has the intention to repeat error messages more than necessary. Some appear 
about 50..60 times/s. You can not change this.

Probably, the storage node list for the clients is not right so the media is 
expected at another (remote) SN.
