How to move a NetWorker client from one NetWorker (6.X\7.X) server to
another and restore it's tapes
1. For the client being moved, obtain it's Client ID from it's Client
resource by using the mminfo command, as follows: (assuming the client's
name is volleyball)
# mminfo –av – q client=volleyball –r client, clientid | sort |uniq
The output of this command is similar to the following:
client client ID
volleyball 5225b7ba-00000004-40ebf557-40ebf556-00010000-89456792
Save the Client ID information for use later when creating the client on
the other NetWorker (Server B).
2. Create this client on the other NetWorker (Server B) with exactly the
name it appears as in Server A. i.e. if the client on Server A is created
with fully qualified domain name (FQDN) then the client should be created
on the other NetWorker (Server B) with the fully qualified name. For more
details, refer to How to Create Clients from the Legato NetWorker
Administrator's Guides for Unix or Windows.
3. Make sure that the clientID for this client matches the client id for
the client on the original NetWorker server by entering the original
client's ClientID value in the Client ID attribute of the newly created
client resource. For additional information on the Client ID attribute,
refer to How to Access the Client ID in the Legato NetWorker
Administrator's Guides for Unix or Windows.
4. Create the pools on the NetWorker Server B that these tapes were
assigned to originally in the NetWorker Server A
5. Assign this client to a group
6. Set it browse and retention browse and retention policy
5. Update the servers file on the client with the name of NetWorker Server
B. After adding the NetWorker server B hostname to the servers file, you
must restart the NetWorker client daemon (nsrexecd).
6. To enter the save set information from the tapes that the original
client was saved to and to build (populate) the Client File Indexes for
the client, run the scanner command as follows for each tape:
scanner -i -c clientname devicename
5. Use nwrecover or recover commands to browse this client's indexes now
on Server B.
6. Select desired files and then recover the files.
7. Since this client is now being backed up by a different NetWorker
server, add the new NetWorker server hostname to the /nsr/res/servers
file, or for Unix, if not using the servers file, modify the 'nsrexecd -s
backup_server' statement in the NetWorker startup script for each
NetWorker client. After adding the NetWorker server hostname to
the /nsr/res/servers file, you must restart the NetWorker client daemon
(nsrexecd).
