Hi all,

Snapshot of environment:

1 NT Master Server
3 NT/2000 Media Servers
1 AIX 4.3.3 Media Server
STK L180 with LTO drives - attached to SAN, SSO installed.

Regarding my AIX Media Server - I keep getting an 'invalid server' message 
whenever I try to run a backup (either manual from master server or user 
backup from client/media server).  My issue is with the AIX Media Server.

-------error messages--------

<16> bkarfiles: User backup failed (client = mediaserver user = root group 
= system): operation requested by an invalid server
16:37:54 [462.377] <2> mail_msg: entered; status = 37

Looks like it's an issue  with the database manager.  Is there anything I 
need to be careful of, or does someone have a solution for 
me/clues/hints/etc?  The mediaserver is listed in all the configs for 
other media servers as well as the master, and I can communicate via the 
gui with the mediaserver. 

Any ideas?
