We have since worked around the DNS issues by using the fully qualified
name in the client list.

Meanwhile, when I try to run a hot backup on the oracle database, I get
the error that it can't create a sequential file.

Our setup is as follows: 
NT 2000 Client with Oracle 8.1.7 and hot backup setup
Solaris 8 master and media server

Anyone have any ideas or had similar problems?

Barbara

Hi Barbara,

What are you using for hostname resolutoin (DNS,NIS..etc)
can you check the following 

#~/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpccname client_name -U

example:
#bpccname earth -U
earth is configured as earth


Rg,

Adam
