You cannot for the first part of your question. When a client name exist
with a clientid, you cannot delete it and recreate it with the same name but
another clientid. This is why a disaster recovery for a networker server
goes by a-b-c. You have a server a, you create a new server b with another
name than you create a client c with clientid a and rename the server to c
where c can be the same than a.
Check the procedures on powerlink.

But how can I have the new client have the same name as the old client, but
with the new clientID? I tried deleting the current client, and then
re-creating with the same name, but the new clientID. And it wouldn't let
me, telling me that I needed to either enter the old clientID, or rename the
current client. How do you rename a client? I don't find that option
anywhere.

That's exactly what I want - a ghost client that has the clientID that is on
the tape, with the same name as the client on the tape. That's where my
problem is coming from - how to have the same name as before? I suppose if I
had to, I could create a new client name of "servername-remote" or
something, with the clientID from tape.
If I do that, what do I do when I runner scanner, to populate the media
database? Since the clientID on tape will match the clientID of my new
"ghost client", will it matter that the client name on tape does not match
the client name on the Networker server? Or, as long as the clientIDs match,
the info then goes into the client name on the Networker server, regardless
of the name mis-match? And I can then browse/recover/etc, using the new
client name?
