Hi,
The best way to keep a media database healthy is to do the following:
1. Delete the .cmprssd under /nsr/mm  
2. cd /
3. nsrim -X
The nsrim comand checks and compresses the media db. A lot of messages will be 
shown.
If you don't want you can give an add. -q (nsrim -q -X)
On a server with high worload ( 1 -> 10 TB a week ), this should be done twice 
a week.
A nsrck -m and nsrck -F aere automat. Included in this check.

Best regards R.

Betreff: [Networker] Is this an indicator of a corrupt media database?

This problem is happening over and over on one of our systems - ever
since a crash... Usually of course nsrjb is called.... But the error
messages are a bit clearer when using nsrmm. There are no startup
errors, none of those WISS messages for example.

Version is 7.2.1 on Solaris 9/SPARC.

It verifies the label, states it is (NOT in media index)... Then turns
around and spits a RAP error about duplicate names and gives up....but
if I delete it myself then the relabel works....

If it is a corrupt media database what do people usually do to repair
it?.... I tried restarting the daemon after deleting the /nsr/mm/cmprssd
file, but that did not fix it up entirely... I seem to recall a
procedure involving deleting all the index files and letting the system
rebuild them... But can't find the tech bulletin now....
