Additional to what Davina wrote...

You may also wish to speed up the conversion by issuing additional "nsrck
clientname &".  The conversion process sequentially converts one client
after the next.  You can help the process along by issuing additional nsrck
commands.  Watch out not to overload your system.  Issue a few nsrck and
monitor and increase as you go along.  This is documented as well.

Subject: [Networker] Legato 6.1.3 indexes


We are planning to upgrade Networker from v5.5 to v6.1.3
What keeps us from moving on is the conversion of indexes. To upgrade all
the old client index to the new version will probably take overnight and we
cannot schedule any backup to run during this conversion.

We installed Legato NW 6.1.3 to a test server with more processing power and
memory (IBM pSeries 6H0) and copied/TAR the indexes from our current backup
server to speed up the index conversion. Due to the number of clients and
some big index files, the conversion might take overnight. Can we upgrade
Networker on the original/current backup server and run the scheduled
backups and when the backups are done in the morning, can we merged these
saveset with the converted indexes on the test server?

thanks in advance,
