This should not be an issue with Enterprise Edition.

To prove my point.

Launch nsradmin
Type in visual ( or just vis )
Cursor to SELECT
Cursor to NSR CLIENT
Cursor to EDIT
Cursor DOWN to the bottom and you should see:
         clone storage nodes: nsrserverhost;
              client OS type: Solaris;
                        CPUs: 2;
           NetWorker version: 6.1.2.Build.340;
              enabler in use: Yes;
ESC to exit edit mode
Q to quit

Thanks to all who replied.   Unfortunately, under Solaris 8 running
NetWorker 6.1.1 with an Enterprise Enabler key, the "client OS type" (as
well as the other fields you mention below) aren't reported.   I can't
think of any other idiosyncrasies in my environment.

Weird.

Hi Phillip,

This example is from a Solaris prompt.  The server is running on Solaris 8
w/
6.1.1.

Note that the script is _three_ lines.


#!/bin/sh
echo "show name; client OS type; backup command; CPUs; NetWorker version
print type: nsr client" | nsradmin -s devnull -i -


We've got a pretty good mix of clients.  Legacy clients (SunOS 4.x, NDMP)
don't
report the OS type.  Also, clients that use modules (for example the Lotus
Notes Module where the backup command is 'nsrnote.bat') dont' report the
OS
type, either.


Regards,
                 /\/elson
