For Ingres Star to perform two-phase commit recovery after a failure, there must be a netutil or ingnet authorization on the node where the Star Server resides for the owner of the Ingres installation or the Ingres Star installation. The netutil or ingnet authorization must be defined for every node referenced in each database accessed by the Star Server.

For example, Ingres Star running on node New York references nodes London, San Francisco, and Tokyo. On the New York node, there must be netutil or ingnet entries for the installation owner or the system administrator to all three remote nodes referenced (London, San Francisco, and Tokyo).
