We have a Sun E220R called Kent234 running Solaris 8 and Solstice Backup 6.0.3 Build 358. One of our clients kent236 is backed up over a private lan using an interface called kent236-hme0. The server connection to the private lan is called kent234-qfe0.

The client is setup with the name of kent236-hme0 ( at Sun suggestion - they now say that this was wrong ) and is set to backup using server interface kent234-qfe0.

The client backs up fine. It reports that everything is ok. You can view the versions of the files that its backed up ok & the dates are correct.

However if the Index screen is brought up in NWADMIN no save sets or instances are displayed for kent236-hme0 whilst they are for other clients.

In NWRECOVER if a restore is attempted for kent236-hme0 it comes back with the message "Volume needed unknown". NWRECOVER correctly displays the versions of the data that are available.

In the client setup kent236 is entered as an alias of kent236-hme0. root@kent234 & root@kent234-qfe0 are in the remote access field for kent236-hme0.

Any ideas ????

Thanks
Phil
