Found this article on Legato eknowledge base...
 
Solution Title: Scanner not updating index on Networker 6.1.1   
Solution ID: legato17175        
 
says for Legato 6 and we are on version 7 but thought it was worth a try.....
 
And it worked.....just had to delete the volumes in question, then re-run 
scanner 
for that saveset , and nsrck to update the clients license as follows :-
 
uxfmis1 (root) #> mminfo -v -m -q 'volume=Clone_Unix_213'
   volume                  written  (%)  expires     read mounts capacity volid 
     next type
M  Clone_Unix_213            34 GB full    manual    0 KB     3     70 GB 
3672750081   47 tz89

uxfmis1 (root) #> mminfo -v -m -q 'volume=Clone_Unix_214'
   volume                  written  (%)  expires     read mounts capacity volid 
     next type
M  Clone_Unix_214            27 GB  39%    manual  871 MB     3     70 GB 
3848448001   42 tz89

uxfmis1 (root) #> nsrmm -d -V 3672750081   
Delete file and media index entries for tz89 tape Clone_Unix_213? y

uxfmis1 (root) #> nsrmm -d -V 3848448001
Delete file and media index entries for tz89 tape Clone_Unix_214? y 
 
uxfmis1 (root) #>  scanner -i -S 3748533505 /dev/ntape/tape5
scanner: scanning tz89 tape Clone_Unix_213 on /dev/ntape/tape5
scanner: adding tz89 tape Clone_Unix_213 to pool GCCC Clone
scanner: fn 47 rn 0 read error No such file or directory
scanner: ssid 3748533505: NOT complete
scanner: ssid 3748533505: 18 GB
scanner: done with tz89 tape Clone_Unix_213
 
scanner: the following save sets continue on another volume:
client name  save set             save time     level   size  files   ssid    S
uxfmis1      /ora_apps            6/06/03  2:21  f         0      0 3748533505 B
scanner: when next volume is ready, enter device name (or `q' to quit) 
[/dev/ntape/tape5]? /dev/ntape/tape2
scanner: starting file number (or `q' to quit) [2]? 
scanner: starting record number (or `q' to quit) [0]? 
scanner: continuing scan with tape on device `/dev/ntape/tape2'
scanner: scanning tz89 tape Clone_Unix_214 on /dev/ntape/tape2
scanner: adding tz89 tape Clone_Unix_214 to pool GCCC Clone
scanner: ssid 3748533505: SYNCHRONIZED at 18 GB, 0 file(s)
scanner: ssid 3748533505: scan complete
scanner: ssid 3748533505: 19 GB, 511571 file(s)

 
Note: File indexes existed before ran the nsrck command below, but ran
it for completeness
 
uxfmis1 (root) #> nsrck -L 6 uxfmis1
nsrck: checking index for 'uxfmis1'
nsrck: /nsr/index/uxfmis1 contains 12969460 records occupying 2059 MB
nsrck: Completed checking 1 client(s)

 
 
We initially tried the "nsrck -L 7 date client" command, 
that would have worked, except it was a manual clone tape and
thus the index written on the tape didn't know about itself...doh!!!
 
 
 
----------- original question -----------
Hi

We are trying to recover the index and media files for a certain save set. This 
save set spans over two tapes. The scanner -i command recovers all file indexes 
except for this save set that spans the two tapes. 

When I run the command/s below, it says that it completes ok but when you 
browse for the save set it does not exist.

scanner -i /dev/ntape/tape5

scanner -i -S ?SSID /dev/ntape/tape5

Does anyone have any ideas on how to recover this save set?

Thank you for your help
