hi

try to have the same version of Ignite-UX on the client also first.

make sure the protocol accesses using SSH or rlogin to client and server

add the server and client enrties in each others /etc/hosts

check for ssh/telnet and rlogin from client and server mutually.

necessarily give permissions in /etc/exports or /etc/dfs/dfstab whatever applicable to the client to access the /var/opt/ignite/clients and the directory on the server to keep the clients image proper NFS permissions of the client.

try to access the NFS exports for the cleint by NFS accessing the shares on the server.

ensure that enuf space is avilable on the server to keep cleinets image.

run ignite GUI on the server to add the client.

regards
sujit

Hello,

the procedure of client config for networking backup is described in make_net_recovery(1m) man page. I paste the excerpt here (it is a bit longer):

+ On the archive server, create a directory for each client to
contain the archive of the client's files. It is important that
the directory be owned by the user bin. Replace client in the
commands below with the hostname of the client. If you use the -a
option to make_net_recovery to specify an alternate location for
the archives, you will need to use that path instead of the
default which is shown below.
mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client
chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client

+ For 11.31 or later, edit /etc/dfs/dfstab to add an entry for each
client. Replace client with the client's fully qualified hostname
in the example shown:
share -F nfs -o sec=sys,anon=2,rw=client
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client
For other releases, edit /etc/exports to add an entry for each
client. Replace client with the client's hostname in the example
shown:
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client -anon=2,access=client

- 7 - Formatted: June 5, 2009

make_net_recovery(1M) make_net_recovery(1M)

+ For 11.31 or later, run the shareall command to have the edits to
the exports file take effect:
/usr/sbin/shareall -F nfs
For other releases, run the exportfs command to have the edits to
the exports file take effect:
/usr/sbin/exportfs -av

HTH,
J.
