Unable to initialize Remote Agent on Netware error
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 5 comments
Hi !
I'm running ver. 9.1 4691 on a Win2k server and use it to backup a Netware 6.5.5 server running Groupwise 6.5.6.
The problem is that when Groupwise is backed up I get his error message:
Unable to initialize Remote Agent
However the data is backed up.
This problem occured after migrating the server to new hardware, it's now running on a DELL PE1950 box with a dualcore CPU.
When doing the migration I also installed support pack 5 for NetWare.
I did not have this problem on the old hardware where I was using Netware 6.5 with support pack 3.
What could be the problem here ?

Hi,
Check whether the Open File Option is selected for backup.
If so, try deselecting the option and run the backup again.

Open File Option is not selected for the backup job.
I've been using GWTSA.NLM for backup of Groupwise but I've just found out that there is a new way to backup Groupwise.
I've tried this:
LOAD TSAFS /EnableGW=yes
LOAD SYS:\SYSTEM\TSAFSGW /HOME-VOL1:\GRUMSDOM /HOME-VOL1:\GRUMSPO
However this will not fix my problem, I still get the message "Unable to initialize Remote Agent" when both the Groupwise domain and postoffice is backed up.
Any other ideas ?
Problem solved !
When I switched from using GWTSA to TSAFS I took the new NLM's from tsa5up19.exe.But there is a problem with SMDR.NLM so I used SMDR.NLM from tsa5up18.exe instead.
With this version of SMDR everything works fine.
There is a document on Novell's web site that describes this, Document ID 3000544.
FYI:
There's also a Veritas/Symantec document that describes this problem:
