Backup Central

Having issues with Networker GUI. Its been dropping very frequently these days (twice a day). The networker server is a Red hat Linux box, we run version 7.6.1

Doing a /etc/init.d/gst stop
/etc/init.d/gst start

would work, but sometimes even that doesn't help. Have to do a nsr_shutdown and restart services or reboot the box?

Got the following in daemon.raw
nsrmmgd 2 %s 1 0 62 RPC receive operation failed; errno = Connection reset by peer

Any help would be appreciated.

nsrmmgd is a NW daemon, not a GUI (NMC) daemon - it deals with the jukebox management. If you really have a problem here it might be that you have not enough service ports open. You can adjust it with 'nsrports'.

The only other method i would try is to reinstall NW.

To avoid running out of ports, We do not run our NMC-GST service on our
NW Server, but rather one of the client machines. Our NW server is
Windows, but our NMC server running the GST service is on a Linux
client, so we connect to/through it to manage our NW Server via the NMC
GUI... When we had the GST service running on our NW server, we also
experienced problems such as yours...

I have Redhat 5.7 and NW 7.5.3 and hav similar issues sometimes
especially when booted box without close a NMC.
Here the steps which i used.

service gst stop
1. Shutdown NMC server (ensure that gstd is not running) and kill httpd
processes.
2. Go to <NMC install dir>/cst
3. Remove the following files - csp.clb, csp.clb.bak, Config.xml
4. Copy Config.xml.template to Config.xml
5. Start NMC server
service gst start

Sometimes i must restart networker too and if needed restart it between
steps 4 and 5

Regards, Riku

Best practice is to run NMC on a separate machine from your NetWorker server, not a client machine either. I run NMC on a small RH Linux virtual machine and it is generally rock solid. Besides the issue of TCP/IP ports being in short supply, another cause for NMC connectivity problems to look into is network connectivity. The only times NMC drops a connection on me is when a network issue occurs.

Excellent point there. I moved our NMC some months ago to an alternate
host and stopped the data gathering and it very rarely fails now.
The under powered windows backup server I use also benefitted from this
move of the NMC to one of our storage nodes.
I do notice that when NMC is gathering info from events and reporting
data the instability creeps back in. Thus I disabled it.
We use DPA and monitor the system closely in other ways which thankfully
made the data collection unnecessary for us.

I had no idea the NMC could be run on a non-client machine. You learn
something new every day ...

I run mine on a XP virtual machine. I have 125+ clients, and sometimes it
is slow to respond while nightly scheduled backups are taking place.
