[Veritas-bu] cannot create sequential file

Make sure someone didn't modify the bp.conf configuration on your NT server
to disallow server file writes.  This prevents the NBU server from creating
or modifying files on the NBU Client.   But it also will not allow it to
create certain log files, etc. that are a good thing.

You might want to check that out on the client side.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] cannot create sequential file


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
