Re: [Networker] Media database gone after server migration/upgrade
2007-01-10 10:16:36
the man page for mmrecov says it should only be used when recovering to
the same version of networker as the one used to create the backup
"Use the same release of NetWorker, and install it in the same location
as it was before the software was lost."
This is obviously not the case as I'm upgrading from 6.x to 7.3.2
I'm afraid it looks like an imcompatibility between Networker running on
Sparc and x86 platforms. The original server is running networker 6.1.4
on Solaris 8 (Sparc). I tried upgrading on an interim machines (running
Solaris 8 Sparc) to 7.2.2 and then 7.3.2 and everything is still there.
However when I try to transfer the /nsr directoy to the new server
running 7.3.2 on Solaris 10 x86_amd the client indexes and media
database are suddenly gone.
The strange thing is that according to the log files the new Networker
sees the indexes e.g.
Jan 10 10:42:49 server root: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] NetWorker index:
(notice) checking index for 'client1'
Jan 10 10:42:49 server root: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] NetWorker index:
(notice) /nsr/index/client1 contains 7209968 records occupying 1165 MB
But still if I use the old or new interface the client indexes are gone.
