Oh, yes. I've run into this quite a bit in backups of windows clients.
Networker can't recognize a client unless the hostname and ip address match
exactly in both a forward and reverse lookup. If your machine uses dns to
do lookups (in nsswitch.conf), use nslookup to check the ip and host. do
the ip more than once since it might round-robin thru a few options.
basically if you nslookup W.X.Y.Z and don't get back "node1.foo.com" then
it's failed to resolve.
Because we have dhcp and dns integrated in our environment and it seems to
be impossible to get it to keep the reverses clean in dns, I gave up and
switched my networker server to only look at /etc/hosts for lookups. That
solved the problem.

Subject: Storage nodes: "Host name verification failed"
I've set up a couple of Windows dedicated storage nodes off my Linux
Networker server that will share drives. Everything seems to be set up,
except I get endless messages of the format:
Jan 4 12:01:18 cranes logger: NetWorker media: (notice) check storage
node: node1.foo.com (Host name verification failed - unknown host: W.X.Y.Z)
Jan 4 12:01:18 cranes logger: NetWorker media: (info) restarting nsrmmd
#2 on node1.foo.com in 2 minute(s)
The W.X.Y.Z is the IP address of the Networker server. Both sides seem
to be able to resolve names and addresses fine, and I can find no
reference to this error. Is anyone familiar with it?
