In regard to: Re: [Networker] Scavenge the media database, Darren Dunham...:

How do I scavenge the media database.

What do you mean by that?

He means that he's getting an error message from NetWorker that says
that the media database must be scavenged.  It's an error message that
comes out of NetWorker when you have database corruption.

I've seen this error message myself, there is a Legato Technical Bulletin
on it and related errors and how to correct the problem.

You can query the database with 'mminfo'.
You can recover from a corrupted media database with 'mmrecov'.

The only place I see "scavenge" in the documentation is referring to
some synchronization beteen nsrck and nsrindexd, which shouldn't have
anything to do with the media database.

$strings /usr/sbin/nsrmmdbd | egrep -i scavenge
media db must be scavenged
media db scavenge failed
media db scavenge successful
Cannot scavenge record file %s within database %s
Cannot scavenge %s (%s) - recover from backup media
