Check your client resource 'Clone storage node' and 'Recover storage
node' definitions, and make sure they contain the name of the storage
node that you want to perform the cloning.  Also, see the NetWorker
Administration Guide and review what's there on storage node affinity.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Networker] Problem cloning across storage nodes

Hi,

We have a single data zone with one backup server, 1ms013 and two
storage nodes, 1ms020 and 1ms021. 1ms020 is connected via scsi to an
SDLT library and 1ms021 via FC to an LTO3 library. both libraries have 2
drives each. the lto3 drives are shared as virtual NDMP library with the
name btc5n001 on which ndmp backups are taken. I made a backup of some
user data on a tape in the 1ms021 lto3 library and Im trying to clone
the savesets from that volume to SDLT media on 1ms020 library. i used
nsrclone command like this:

nsrclone -vv -s <backup server> -b <destination pool> -S <SSID>

The pools I am using are : source="Archive Pool" and
destination="Default Clone".

the output of the command is this:

Automatically copying save sets(s) to other volume(s)

Starting cloning operation...
...from storage node: btc5n001
NSR server ingbtcpic1ms013.code1.emi.philips.com: busy
nsrclone: waiting 30 seconds then retrying
NSR server ingbtcpic1ms013.code1.emi.philips.com: busy
nsrclone: waiting 30 seconds then retrying
nsrclone: nsrclone command has retried 2 times.
NSR server ingbtcpic1ms013.code1.emi.philips.com: busy
nsrclone: waiting 30 seconds then retrying
NSR server ingbtcpic1ms013.code1.emi.philips.com: busy
nsrclone: waiting 30 seconds then retrying
NSR server ingbtcpic1ms013.code1.emi.philips.com: busy
nsrclone: waiting 30 seconds then retrying


In the client config, I added 1ms020 as the only clone storage node. i
dont understand why its asking for tape from btc5n001 when that name is
not mentioned anywhere in the config.
how can i make the cloning process use 1ms021 to read the tape instead
of btc5n001?

Thanks,
opopanax.
