Saving Remote Filesystems

You may receive the following error messages in your savegroup completion mail when a backup for a remote client fails:

All: host hostname cannot request command execution
All: sh: permission denied

The first message means that the nsrexecd daemon on the client is not configured to allow the server to back up its files. The second message means that the nsrexecd daemon is not currently running on the client.

To resolve these problems, make sure that the nsrexecd daemon is running on the client, and that the server's hostname is listed in the boot-time file. The boot-time file is automatically generated before the installation script is completed, and takes your responses to the query for the names of all the servers, in order of precedence, that can contact a client for backups. Table C-1 lists the location for the boot-time file.

Refer to the nsrexecd(1m) man page for detailed information about the nsrexecd daemon.
