Michael:

Scanner -m will rebuild the media index and it sounds like the media
index was already there?

We are running into the same problem, trying to get a client index back
from 12/04.  We have been doing the same, except using -I (that is lower
case I - the email text editor keeps making that at capital i) which
rebuilds the client file indexes and media index.

Our problem is that when we powered down our Legato server, upon
powering back it up it would go from long name to short name on the
server, next the indexes and it is a mess, so we are unable to use the
nsrck -L7 -t command.

Another trick I have used in the past was get the savetime(20) to give
you date and time stamp.  Then do the nrck -L7 -t mm/dd/yy time <client>
sometimes I go out a couple seconds after the actual time stamp.

index


Hi Networker folks,

I need to recover some indexes, and after reading archived posts here
and the scanner & nsrck man pages I gave it a try:
1) scanner -m -S 69889537 /dev/rmt/0cbn
    (seemed to run OK)
2) nsrck -L7 -t "02/04/05" entropy.corp.opsware.com
    (prompts me for a tape with date from 2003! ?)

I must be doing something wrong but can't figure it out.
Here's the details of what I did.

-------------------------------------------------------

** NW version is 6.1.4, server is Solaris 8

 From full backup media of interest I found a full index
backup of the client from the desired date.

Verified that the SSID contains the index needed
------------------------
mminfo -q 'ssid=69889537'
volume  client                     date     size    level
         name

100209  ~legato.corp.opsware.com-1 02/04/05 26 GB   full
         index:entropy.corp.opsware.com

100211  ~legato.corp.opsware.com-1 02/04/05 7341 MB full
         index:entropy.corp.opsware.com

Scanned the tapes
-----------------
# scanner -m -S 69889537 /dev/rmt/0cbn
scanner: scanning 8mm AIT-2 tape 100209 on /dev/rmt/0cbn
scanner: 8mm AIT-2 tape 100209 already exists in the media index
scanner: ssid 69889537: NOT complete
scanner: ssid 69889537: 26 GB, 988 file(s)
scanner: done with 8mm AIT-2 tape 100209

scanner: the following save sets continue on 100211:
client name  save set             save time     level   size  files
ssid    S
~legato.corp index:21e0906f-00000004-3d63dab0-3d63dfa9-02b50000-c0a80226

2/04/05 18:07  f 26939381248    988 69889537 S
scanner: when next volume is ready, enter device name (or `q' to quit) 
[/dev/rmt/0cbn]?
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/rmt/0cbn'
scanner: scanning 8mm AIT-2 tape 100211 on /dev/rmt/0cbn
scanner: 8mm AIT-2 tape 100211 already exists in the media index
scanner: ssid 69889537: SYNCHRONIZED at 26 GB, 988 file(s)
scanner: ssid 69889537: scan complete
scanner: ssid 69889537: 33 GB, 1433 file(s)

Then ran nsrck per the instructions
-----------------------------------

# nsrck -L7 -t "02/04/05" entropy.corp.opsware.com
nsrck: checking index for 'entropy.corp.opsware.com'
nsrck: The file index for client 'entropy.corp.opsware.com' will be
recovered.
nsrck: Recovering index savesets of 'entropy.corp.opsware.com' from 
'legato.corp.opsware.com'

... which then proceded to ask me for a completely different
     volume number from 2003! In the nsrwatch window, I get this:

"04/25/06 09:52:46 nsrd: media waiting event: waiting for 8mm AIT-2 tape
  103781 on legato.corp.opsware.com"

Is my nsrck command wrong?

Regards,
