Thanks Charles.
What's OFM? Open File Manager?  Where could I get it?

I had terrible luck trying the snapshot.nlm.  With many of the same
results you had.  It worked just fine in the test environment but
when put into production the results were very sporadic.  On some
machines it always worked, others I could never get it to work, and
some of them it worked now and then.  I just ended up using OFM and
it solved all of my problems with timeouts abends and everything in
between.

Hello,

I am trying to backup Novell clients to a Solaris 8 server running
Solstice Backup 6.1.3.  I have been able to backup three
non-production
systems, but I just added four production systems and they don't
back up. I'm getting messages like the following on these newly
added systems:
* cs:WIN32: has been inactive for 30 minutes since Thu Nov 20
01:06:11 2003.
 * cs:WIN32: is being abandoned by nsrexec.

Here is a list of the machines OS versions and Networker client
versions:
                Netware version Networker Client
cs              5.1 SP6         4.21    (production)
gwmta100        6.0 SP3         4.21    (production)
gwmta200        5.1 SP6         4.21    (production)
gwpoa401        5.1 SP6         4.21    (production)
gwtest          5.1 SP6         4.21    (test)
iserve          6.0 SP3         4.21    (test)
tsummon         4.11 SP9(?)     4.15    (test)


I was able to run a full backup of gwmta100 once by itself,
but none of the production machines (including gwmta100) will backup

when kicked off in a regularly scheduled group. I cannot back any of

the production systems up if I run them by themselves either
I've tried running  a snoop while the backup is going, and there is
not
much traffic sent.

I tried increasing the inactivity timeout to 60 minutes and then to
120
minutes, but the backup doesn't complete. So I don't think that
changing
the timeout to 0 will help.

Two of the systems (cs, gwpoa401)  had this abend error:
  The CPU encountered a problem executing code in SERVER.NLM.
  The problem may be in that module or in data passed to that module

  by a process owned by SNAPSHOT.NLM.

Based upon some informaton from the Networker list about
snapshot.nlm
errors,  we reloaded Networker on gwmta100 and 200 without using the

open file support  (These systems did not have the abend error).  I
was
successful in getting a backup of theses systems by themselves.
However,
I want to have open file support enabled because some of these
systems
are GroupWise mail servers and I need this option.  If you want to
see
the errors from the abend, I could provide that too.


Why are my production systems getting the "inactive" messages? What
is the cause of these messages? How could I get my Novell backups to
work
with open file support enabled?

Thanks!
