Re: [Networker] Taking an index set out of service

my 2 cents are you are creating a big pain in the rump, unless you perform some 
real awesome mminfo reports and nsrinfo reports AND are real comfortable with 
scanner restores with/into *asms.  Why you might ask, is that volumes and 
savesets are kept via numbering systems, and not bringing the old indexes 
along, to populate those numbers have a real high probability of those volid 
and ssid numbers being reused in the new systems by other savesets and volumes 
of your more current info.  This means that you can not scan the tapes into 
your new media database because of the conflicting volume id and/or ssid's( you 
would cause media and/or index corruption).  This does not mean you can not 
restore from those tapes, but that the restore can not be a saveset recover or 
a command line recover but MUST be of the form scanner command piped into a 
*asm with many flags etc to perform the command in the method you intended and 
oh by the way you will need ssid for save sets etc and will not have media or 
save set browse capabilities.

Subject: [Networker] Taking an index set out of service


I'm taking an old Networker v6.2 Windows NT server out of commission.
Because I've changed media types and I don't do that many restores I'm not
going to move the old indexes to the new server.  I will keep the tapes and
scanner them if necessary.

I have run the following reports against the index in order to help find
which tape something is on if I need to go back.

mminfo -mv volume=XXXXXX
mminfo -av -q volume=XXXXXX
mminfo -av -r ssid -q volume=XXXXXX

Is there anything else anyone could recommend I keep before I shut the
server off?
