Re: [Networker] Need help with client
2006-07-07 18:15:02
OK, I have it now. Sorry to have been such a dummy. LOL!
As others have said, you can't have two clients with the same clientid
or two clients with the same name, so you have to change the old client
name to a new name, in which case that will then be assigned the
clientid that the other old name was assigned to.
I simply queried the database for the client id for the client whose
name I wanted to change back (dummy), created a new client with a
different name (fred-old) and assigned it that same clientid. NetWorker
then pops up a window that says: "Renaming client dummy to client
freed-old. Reapply if this is desired." There's a brief hang time and
then it finishes. I then removed fred-old from the listing. Next, I
created another client named fred, which, of course, is assigned a
different clientid. I then shutdown NetWorker, removed the client index
for fred-old, and restarted. Now, the media database shows fred-old for
all the save sets that were previously showing dummy, and fred shows
nothing since it's not been backed up yet.
BTW is there a way to remove clients from the save set recover window? I
have several of them that I created while I was messing around with all
this, but I never backed up any data to them so there are no save sets,
and there's nothing to query in the media database.

longer shows up. When I query it for dummy, all the entries for what
was fred now show 'dummy' as the client name.
How can I change this back?
I just want to have a new fred with a different client id than the
old fred, but I still want the old fred to show up in the media
database with its old client id and not dummy. Why can't NetWorker
just make this easy by giving us a feature to make renaming easier!
Sheesh!

What I just posted a minute ago actually won't work and I realized
that after reading this post.
Do the standard renaming procedure (which is what you did above by
creating the client dummy) only rename fred to something like
old-fred, then create the new fred.
