Ultimately, I wish to delete a client from Networker. However, my
concern
is that if I simply delete the client, its index and other references
will
remain. I suspect I would need to manually expire all the savesets
and THEN
delete the client.
Previously I would set the properties of the client to "Day" for
browse and
retention, which is fine, but I'd like to do this without waiting a day.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how best to purge a client from Networker?
To really purge the client, you will need to go out and manually expire
all the existing savesets, and then remove the client definition, and
then remove the index directory. If you change the browse/retention
time to 1 day, that will not change the existing saveset's
browse/retention time -- only new savesets will have the different
browse/retention time.
That's interesting, because the behavior Tom desired was how
Networker did things with version 5. Then, you needed the client object
to exist or else nsrim couldn't tell the retention for each saveset.
Sorry....
