Guy,

As per Tek-Tips:
Any chance that this could be Permissions related?  What about the
permissions to the disk itself?
For some reason the account that is used to start up the NetWorker Backup
and Recovery Services on the backup server seems unable to access the
indexes.
By default, this is started by a local System account. Maybe try changing
the NetWorker Backup and Recovery Services to start with the local or domain
administrator account and password, then restart the services.

Try to determine if any special permissions or ACL's have been set on the
file system. Or whether the local System account's rights and priviliges
have been modified?

What about possible index corruption?  Run nsrck -L6 <client name> maybe?
Does RPCINFO work here?  (client to server; server to client; nodes to
itself?)

Good luck!
Tom

Greetings,

I have an MS W2k cluster, SP3 installed and Networker version is 6.2 build
109.
Our server is an running AIX and version 6.1.3 of Networker.

We started backing up this cluster 2 weeks ago and it worked fine.
Suddenly, it started complaining about the Quorum drive.
I tried backup up the with just the Q drive with the virtual cluster name,
and also as part of the physical node name. The error
message was the same. Any thoughts?
