Hi Arunabha, At 11.23 Ensure you having latest bundle of ignite on the server, 1. Create folder with hostname [eg. xxx] of ignite client on /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives with mkdir -p command. 2. Ensure the ownership should be bin:bin for the particular folder 3.Ensure the 755 permission to this folder. 4. Put the entry of clients in the /etc/hosts of the ignite server. 5. export the created folder //var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/xxxx and /var/opt/ignite/clients in /etc/exports with access only to the client. Revert if any more input required. With Regards, Team_5
