Installation

by **ian** » September 4th, 2009, 7:02 am

I'm
trying to install SESAM on a couple of servers to try it out. One
server is a SLES10SP2 server which I've installed SESAM Server onto
(sesam_srv-3.4.1-67.sles10.i586.rpm). This server has a tape drive on
it & it seems to be working correctly. This server is called
testsserv.

Next I installed SESAM client
(sesam_cli-3.4.1-67.sles10.i586.rpm) onto a second server running OES2
Linux. This server is called hamfp01v

Both servers are registered in my DNS server (forward & reverse lookup).

The firewall is disabled on both servers!

On
the first server, I ran /opt/sesam/bin/sesam/sm_ctrlc -l root hamfp01v
sbc (hamfp01v is the name of the second server) & it came back with:

Error: Network communication problem: CTRLD reply: 2009-09-04 08:28:08:
scd-1136: Error: Host [testserv.domain.com] is not allowed to connect
or security problem for user: [root].

Then I ran /opt/sesam/bin/sesam/sm_setup set_client testserv on the second server to allow it to connect with testserv
Now when I run /opt/sesam/bin/sesam/sm_ctrlc -l root hamfp01v sbc, I get:
Error:
Network communication problem: STDLIB error: 11 - Resource temporarily
unavailable. accept() call timed out probably due to a Firewall.

As
I said, the firewall is disabled on both servers. The second server
(hamfp01v) is a XEN virtual machine, so I'm not sure if that is causing
the problem, but the firewall on the XEN host is also disabled. I don't
know what else to try!

Hy,

I would recommend to execute this command
/opt/sesam/bin/sesam/sm_setup set_client testserv.domain.com

because your first command shows, the host with the fqdn is not allowed to connect.

Further you can try to add the parameter to use single port connection from server to client:
/opt/sesam/bin/sesam/sm_ctrlc -l root -s hamfp01v sbc

If
just the parameter -s works, you have to add this parameter in your
Sesam GUI. When editing or adding a new client, you can choose the tab
"Options" and there you have to type -s in the access options.

Thanks, that seems to have sorted it out now.

I'm
back again - now I'm trying to connect to a Netware client. Again, the
netware box is registered correctly in our DNS. From the Netware README
on the download site, I believe I don't need to install anything on the
netware server, just run smsstart to load TSAFS etc, which I've done.
On
my Linux server, I've tried to add the netware server
(mail.domain.com). I've chosen Netware for the Operating System &
CTRL for the Access mode. Interfaces has the FQDN of the Netware box.
On the NetwareAccess tab, I entered our admin user name: admin.hamilton
and it's password. I've also tried just using admin as the username.
I've tried both testserv (my linux server) and mail.hamcoll.sa.edu.au in the Mover setting.
The firewall on the Linux server is OFF.

Here's the contents of the log:

You
have to adjust the datamover for the NetWare server. First you have to
install the sesam-novell-client at one of your Linux machines, where
the package novell-sms is already installed. You can download the
package here:
http://download.sep.de/netware/OES-Linux/

This client will be used as datamover, which sends and receives the data from/to the NetWare server.
Edit the NetWare client in Sesam, switch to the tab NetWare Access and insert the name of the host, where the sesam-novell-client is installed.

I will forward this to SEP, so they can change the documentation.

Thanks
for that - if I install the novell-sms package on my linux sesam server
(testserv), can that act as the datamover as well as being the sesam
server itself, or does it have to be a separate server?
In other
words can I have a netware server backing up to the linux server, or do
I need 3 servers - netware, linux client & linux server?

Thanks again,
Ian

Hi, I'm still having trouble with this!

I've
just installed the sesam-novell-client-3.4.1-79.SuSE.i586.rpm on the
OES linux server I configured originally. This is a SESAM client &
already had sesam_cli-3.4.1-67.sles10.i586.rpm installed.
smdrd is running and I can do backups of that server.

I've
set that server (hamfp01v.domain.com) as the Data Mover for my Netware
server (mail.domain.com). When I check Client Access for the Netware
server, I still get:

2009-09-11 08:54:38 DEBUG - ClientDialog.switchNetwareMode: platform: NETWARE os: NetWare

2009-09-11 08:55:14 INFO -
"test.jvr" "imoore" "E002-HOSTS There is no access to computer mail.domain.com - please configure it now for testserv."

Do I need to allow access somehow? Is CTRL the correct Access Mode?
PS: firewall is off on the OES server that is the Data Mover.

Cheers,
Ian

A little more info:
If I run:
/opt/sesam/bin/sesam/sbc_smdr -D -N "mail:::admin.hamilton:<password>:0" "/NetWare/MAIL.NetWare File System"
&
/opt/sesam/bin/sesam/sbc_smdr -D -N "mail:::admin.hamilton:<password>:0" "/NetWare/MAIL.Groupwise System"
on the "Data Mover" server (hampf01v which is the OES2SP2 server), it shows all the TSA targets on the MAIL server correctly.

I deleted the server in the GUI & recreated it and now it works.

The only change I did make was to use mail instead of mail.domain.com as the name of the server, perhaps that was the problem.

I
am having the same problem. One server running sles10sp2 with sesam
server. another running sles10sp oes with nss volumes. I can backup and
restore to this server, no problem. but the Netware 6.5sp7 server I get
the error

NEWSDATA_FS is the netware server.

I use the sles10sp2 oes as the data mover. It has both novell-sms package and sesam-novell-client installed.
What and where is sbc_smdr? I did a search on the server and it does not exist.

Any help would be great. Thank you - Dan

by **ossi1001** » October 8th, 2009, 2:43 pm

Hy,

the
sbc_smdr is an application, which connects to a NetWare-/OES-server.
This file is located at /opt/sesam/bin/sesam, where the package sesam-novell-client is installed.
If I see that correctly, sep2 is your Sesam server and in that case you have to install the sesam-novell-client on this machine, too.

Greetings, Florian

Florian,

Thank you! I now can connect and backup and restore NW6.5 and Sles servers :-)
I have one more question -- Can you backup data from a SLES server with
an NSS volume to a Netware server with an NSS volume. When I try the
the restore target only has SLES server listed, not the netware servers.

Thanks again for your help !!!! - Dan

by **ossi1001** » October 13th, 2009, 2:45 pm

Hy again,

the backup type has to be "NetWare" to restore from an OES to a NetWare server.

Greetings, Florian

by **DanR** » October 14th, 2009, 12:03 am

Florian,

Again
thanks for your help! Your suggestion made since. So I did a Netware
backup of a SLES OES server and it worked fine. When doing a restore,
in the target node my only options are other SLES boxes. The Netware
server do not show up. Based on your help so I am sure I am doing
something simple that is wrong. If you have any other ideas please let
me know :-)

Thanks - Dan
