Thanks for the reply.  I try and update the storage node list using the GUI:

clients->globals 2 of 2 -> Storage Nodes

I enter:
backup-old
nsrserverhost
but cannot save the changes getting the following message:
'storage nodes' contains name of remote dedicated storage node 'backup-old'

Am I editing the list in the wrong place? Any ideas how I can update the storage node list?

Thanks

Paul

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.

Each NW host uses the ports 7937 and 7938 (for the built-in

nsrexecd.

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.
