326.4os/2 still causing problems...HGOVC::XFMV01::SUDHIRBFri Jan 24 1997 00:3526
    hi,
    
    the client has bought all the required subsets from digital, the
    Polycenter Networker Server as well as the Legato client.
    
    these are some questions regarding the OS/2 client that comes to
    mind...
    1) what file on the OS/2 machine does *NSR* use to detect an
       NSR server on the net.
    2) what all remote commands are required to be active on the 
       OS/2 client?
    
    
    Besides that, what i need is a Service Delivery Kit for NSR if it
    is available in any form with Digital. We have to implement this 
    kind of a project at many sites and a structured approach towards
    the project is required.
    
    Do i need to contact the product manager for Polycenter products for
    this? can i have the email address please?
    
    Thanx in advance for your help.
    
    regards
    sudhir...
    
326.5DECWET::KOWALSKITime's not for savingFri Jan 24 1997 08:3920
I don't know if the installed file structure is exactly
the same on OS2, but on W95, and WNT, the file in
the directory NSR\RES\SERVERS specifies which servers
the client will respond to and look for.

However, if this file does not exist, NetWorker clients
will broadcast to the subnet (I believe that's the limit)
a request that NetWorker servers identify themselves.
The message you posted in .0 seems related to this.

In general, a NetWorker client requires portmapper
and a remote exec daemon.  In the W95 client, these
are rolled into a single process which runs iconized.
In WNT, these are separate NT servers.  Unfortunately,
I've never seen an OS2 client, so I can't answer
specifically for what is required on that os. However,
the OS2 client documentation should have some answers, have you
referenced it?

326.7help on os2 clientXFMV01::DIVYESHFri Jan 24 1997 21:5515
    There is no proper documentation on os2 client. We tried modifying 
    server name in tcpip configuration file. File is c:\tcpip\etc\hosts.
    
    It uses server name while telnet,ftp and ping. Also rsh command from
    os2 client works properly. We also tried  enabling portmapper and rexec
    but no success. 
    
    We don't have local LEGATO product support group here so any help or
    feedback on this will help us a lot.
    
    
    Thanks in advance.

What are the names of both client and server?

What version of NetWorker are you running on the Digital UNIX 
system?
