All-
Is there any way to make NetWorker completely forget about a clientid? I
seem to recall doing this once or twice in the distant past, but I can't
recall what the procedure is.
Here's the situation. A while back, another admin here created a client,
which I'll call "oops.ndsu.edu". NetWorker automatically gave it a
clientid. We don't believe there were ever any backups done of the
client, and mminfo isn't showing us anything for it. The admin later
deleted the client.
I have a different client, newclient.ndsu.edu, with a different clientid,
that I want to rename as "oops.ndsu.edu". I'm following the procedure
for renaming a client and *trying* to preserve the client id, but
NetWorker is detecting that there once was a client named "oops.ndsu.edu"
with a different client id, and is giving me the error message
Found client: oops.ndsu.edu, client id: <old client id here>.
Specify this client or id or leave the client id blank.
Otherwise the client name must first be renamed
The last sentence appears to be a hint that I could recreate the *old*
clientid under a different name, but that's an awful lot of work to go
through just to "move" a clientid that I don't want any longer.
I'm hoping there's a procedure that can be used to make NetWorker
completely and totally forget about the clientid from the old client that
was deleted.
Our NetWorker server is 7.6.2.5 on RHEL 6.2.
Thanks,
Tim
