Matthew,

If you lost index and media db, it's because :
1) the media database has been restored under /var/nsr/mm. Move it back
to
/nsr/mm or to any other location being sure it's accessible from /nsr/mm

2) you should run "nsrck -l 7" to recover indexes from last tape.

HTH,

Thierry

Subject: Re: [Networker] Moving NetWorker from SUN to HP


Hi JR,

What a coincidence !!

We have just migrated our NetWorker system from a Solaris server to an
HPUX
server.

We had all sorts of fun & games with our tech support company before
they
finally managed to get a definitive statement from Legato which said
that
this operation was not supported.  Great.

The tech support guys, however, came up with the following:

> Procedure

> * On your current server, create a test group and into it allocate all
> clients.
> * From the command line using a new tape if possible, create a final
> bootstrap backup, with the syntax : savegrp -O [test group name] (O=
> capital o not Zero)
> * Make a note of the bootstrap ssid.  If you are unsure of this, from
> the command line run : mminfo -B and make a note of the newly created
> bootstrap ssid, file and record number.
> * Shutdown the NetWorker services on this machine.
> * On your new HP server install Legato Networker to exactly the same
> path as is on the Solaris server, ensure a single drive is available
for
> use.  This must be the same as on the Solaris server.
> * Start the services on the HP server.
> * Place the final bootstrap backup manually into the device created.
> * From the command line run, and answer the questions with the
> appropriate responses : mmrecov
> * Once completed, stop the NetWorker services.
> * In the /nsr directory, move the res directory to res.old, index to
> index.old and mm to mm.old.
> * In the /nsr directory move the res.R to res.
> * Please note on bringing up NetWorker you will have no volumes
> registered in your media database or savesets in your index's tab.
> * Delete the Jukebox that is currently on your system, as this will be
> using the SCSI address from your Solaris server.
> * Recreate the jukebox using : jbconfig
> * Can you please print / save to file all of your registration

The most important point in all this is the paths *MUST* be the same.

If your /nsr directory is a symlink to filesystem /flibble on the
Solaris
box, you will need to create a filesystem /flibble on your HP box and
re-
create the links.  MMINFO really is that fussy.

This procedure effectively migrates your resources file - i.e. all your
clients, schedules, etc.

IT DOES NOT MIGRATE THE MEDIA DBASE OR CLIENT INDEXES !!

Good luck.

M.
