access violation unknown host IP address

Cause

Solstice backup utility fails and displays the following error: access violation unknown host IP address on Networker 4.2.2. This error is usually caused by a corrupted host name in the host NIS/NIS+ map/table.

Action

Check the Networker client configuration for an incorrect host name. If all else fails, as a workaround, add the entry to /etc/hosts.
