jweisbin Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Mac OS X 10.6.8 server, Mac Pro 8 core 2.8 ghz, 16 GB RAM, ATTO H680 SAS card, HP LTO-5 tape drive, Retro 10.0.1 server and clients Having same problems on multiple servers: Retro randomly loses communication with clients every few days, and does NOT report that error via email Retro says "media set is in use" when it isn't - have to repair the media set (a disk) and then it runs again - again no error email. Seems to be better if I leave the console running on the server itself. RetroISA causing kernel panic on clients and must be disabled. I have reported this previously and gotten NO replies.

Lennart_T Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Try version 10.1 instead. FYI: This isn't Retrospect support, this is a user-to-user forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jweisbin Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 clarification: the server is 10.1, the client is 10.0.1 My mistake - I thought that the "bug reports" section would be looked at by Retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well, they do look sometimes... but not often enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jweisbin Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Retrospect 10.1 is basically unusable with clients. They randomly disappear, and the server has to be restarted, or sometimes they have to be deleted and re-added back as sources. In addition, when these errors occur, retro is not send notification emails, even though the email test function works and I get those emails. It also randomly says "media set is in use" when it isn't. The only fix for that is to repair the media set, apparently. I have these problems across three servers and many clients so it is not a random bug. How do people live with this junk? I didn't buy the support package so no doubt they will charge me for support. This is shameful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
