This looks badly mechanically translated...

Anyway, guessing you are running in Non-Target mode, using a Win32 box
as an intermediary box between TSA on the Netware server and BP on the
NBU server. (Aka via BPSRV.NLM on the server).

You should not need the Gateway Service for Netware, but you do need
the Novell client. What account is used in Netbackup to access the
Netware server? It should have the correct rights.

You might want to consider using NB in Target mode, whose major
downside is no GUI tool to do restores, but it looks just like the
Unix'y interface (Linux, Mac OS X, etc).

It's exactly in Target mode. I have removed all target file and recreate
them but still no use.

Ok try this:
LOAD BP
T for target
L for list Target

What happens? Does it show the info or is there a TSA error code?

On your server, they should use the Standard class, with a path of
/TARGETNAME/ (Has to be 8 or fewer characters actually)

If the backup admin is using Netware class, it will not work. That is
for Non-Target mode.

You can use the same TARGETNAME on all servers. So then you only need
one class type (very simple) to backup all your Netware servers in
Target mode.

What you have said of Target and Non-Target mode is exactly i saw it in
admin guide. I configured the "standard" class, the client type "Netware"
and the backup selection that i use is "/" + TARGETNAME.

The question: show the infomation.

I have re-tested it. It show the error msg "Unable to connect to Netbackup
host "XXX".

Um, if you
LOAD PING ipaddress.ip.com (Use the IP NAME of your backup media server).

Does it resolve the name ok? If not, edidt sys:\etc\hosts and add the
media server.

We only have one media/master server, so I do not know if it needs to
know who the master server is as well, but through it in the hosts file
as well for the heck of it.

Try pinging by server name also. NetBackup does a lot of reverse DNS
lookups. Also make sure you can run nslookup from the media server
that will back up this Netware client by ip and by hostname. If any of
that fails implement host files.

If you are using the "non target" method for your netware backups the servers
and your workstation must have the IPX protocol installed and konfigured.

If you are using the "target" method you can't browse backup selection from
the media/master server.

You should be able to get/read the client parameters regardless backup method.

Are there any ways to get around installing and configuring IPX on the Netware

Depending on which method you use IPX, to my knowledge, is required.
To be able to browse the Netware servers volumes from a workstation and select
what to backup (non-target), you must have the IPX protocol installed on
servers and the workstation you operate. If you use the target version you
do not need IPX.
