Howdy,
Question for anyone out there using Legato's Netapp ClientPak.
I have installed the client software on an F760 filer and trying to run some backup tests to see how this all works.
I have created some test filesystems on the filer, and set a client entry on the Networker server. When I go to run the group that has the filer client, it starts up rather slowly, tell me it's starting to do a full save, then seems to just sit there for ages.
I have about 10 savesets configured in the client setup, but the server appears to try to start only a couple savesets one at a time. It doesn't load any tapes, or any other activity. It appears to create the initial db entries, but no savesets start up. Just seems to idle there doing nothing, and repeat the same messages:
Dec 13 15:33:16 obsidian root: NetWorker Savegroup: (info) hyades:/vol/vol0/ivpn/system.rt/proxy.cluster no cycles found in media db; doing full save
Dec 13 15:36:08 obsidian root: NetWorker Savegroup: (info) hyades:/vol/vol0/ivpn/system.rt/www.cluster no cycles found in media db; doing full save
Anyone have any experience with the ClientPak? The tech_dialog at Legato appears to have nothing about this type of error, nor does NOW. I'm opening a ticket with Legato tomorrow (once they sort out my support contract).
Any input appreciated.

I have started doing some tests, it seems to work as well as most other legato products, not that that's saying much. One of the things that they don't mention in the manual is that all work is done over rsh so you have to update your etc/hosts.equiv otherwise you aren't going to get very far.
