Jason,

For what it's worth. We have two circumstances where RH3 and BMR
(nbu6mp4)have problems. One is servers inside a DMZ, the other is with
servers that have two nics running. The odd thing about the dual nic
servers is that if you run the discovery option a BMR restore will work
even though the client is not in the bmr list. As far as the dmz goes we
have had any number of problems with that and I will not point any
fingers.

Folks,
        I've been monitoring BMR policies/hosts more closely lately.  We
are running 6.0MP4 and I'm having issues with a few Linux BMR hosts.
Here's the info from the Activity Monitor:

3:25:07 AM - end Parent Job; elapsed time: 04:25:02 the requested
operation was successfully completed(0)

This host doesn't show up as a protected BMR host, despite an errorless
BMR save.  The server is a RHEL 3 box and should be all happy as it's at
6.0MP4. Version output: cat version

NetBackup-RedHat2.4 6.0MP4

I do have other RHEL 3 boxes that register consistently as BMR hosts,
but this one and one other will not.

Ideas?  Anyone else seen this behavior before?

Jason
