I just got this question from one of the DBAs here - they're trying
to do an alternate system restore of a database using RMAN. Unfortunately
it's in an outsourced environment that I don't have access to.

While I think the error that is showing up is related to something like
altnames not being set up properly, I can't check.

AFAIK the master server is a Win2K system, the clients in this case are
HP/UX 11i.

Anybody seen the error in question and maybe have a pointer?

Support is suggesting MP3 or better (I think the environment is currently
at MP2).

the Netbackup log file on epirdb01 (see the blue line).  It seems that the
media manager could not resolve the name "epirdb01.xxx.com"
