nsrck -R -Y will leave a sort of skeleton structure in /nsr/index
so I've always

nsrck -Y -R
rm -r /nsr/index/<client>
nsradmin delete resources associated with client

A restart of the app is most certainly not needed.

Thanks. I'm actually not interested in removing the media
database entries, however, just the client index directory
itself on disk as well as all the resources in nmc. Seems
easy enough, but wasn't sure if the 'nsrck -R - Y' command
needed to be done before or after removing the client
resources or if it even matters. Still seems unnecessary to
even bother using the nsrck command when a *very* careful
'mv' command (say, to somewhere safe outside of
/opt/nsr/index), followed by an 'rm -rf client' would do.

Then again, perhaps the whole reason to use the nsrck command
is that this might obviate the need to shut down NW first?
Doubt the command would work if NW was already down?

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Running 7.5.1 on Linux RH.

I have some old clients that I want to remove from disk because
they're taking up space and licenses. I have their NSR

client resource

information saved, including the clientid - not that I couldn't get
that from the media database - but just in case. I also have full
backups of their indexes. I don't need these anymore.

Can I just remove the NSR client resources from NMC and then run
'nsrck -R -Y client'. Is that all I need to do? Is that the

correct order?

Also, why not just run 'rm -rf client'. I mean, aside from

the obvious

possibility for horrible mistype, does the nsrck command accomplish
anything more or better?

Even if NW was somehow trying to prune the index when you

ran it, what

difference would it make if you don't need it anymore?

Thanks.

George
