Good question and have never really tried. I am not sure if it could be
done. Lets state for arguments sake that it cannot be done. Try the
following.
1) shutdown your networker server.
2) Stop all services on storage node.
3) Rename the storage node to your server name.
4) Install networker server and configure.
5) run your mmrecov from the last known bootstrap and recover your DB.
6) shutdown networker and rename the server back to the storage node
name.
7) Bring up your networker server. Stop the services and ftp or copy
over your recovered nsr.R directory.
Should work.

Subject: [Networker] Recovering server's media database or index?
Hi,
How does one recover the server's media database and/or index if there
is no attached local tape drive, only storage node?
We're running 7.2.2 on Solaris with Linux storage nodes (also 7.2.2).
In our case, we use file type devices on the server, so the server's
regular data is written to tape on the storage node, but its index and
bootstrap are written to a file type device on the server. The file type
device is labeled into the same pool as the tape. The data on the file
type device is then auto staged (daily) to a clone pool on the storage
node. This clone pool has both the indexes and bootstraps. Periodically,
that clone pool data is manually cloned to a different clone pool, so
the server's index and bootstraps are ultimately contained on two
separate tape pools.
If we needed to recover this data, what is the procedure? It was always
my understanding that NetWorker insisted on a local device for backing
up the server's index and bootstrap but not sure about recovering? Might
seem silly to be asking this question now, but this was the way around
not having a local tape device that was explained to us, and I know I
must have asked about recovery at the time but can't recall the answer
or recommended method. Just a curiosity but would be good to know as
soon as possible if there's something we need to reconfigure.
Thanks.
George
