Re: [Networker] Database hosed after upgrading to 7.4?

yes well scanning in the tape will certainly solve your problem. So
neither name returns a clientid? Was there another name that you could
have used? Probably just better off scanning the tapes in this case and
then you can do a browsable recovery.

Edward,

I had to do some hostname fiddling for an unrelated problem with that
box, and when I changed the hostname around I had to recreate the
client.  This is probably part of the problem.  I haven't done a backup
on the system since upgrading to 7.4 (waiting for the library to get
repaired) so neither client shows any entries via mminfo, neither
"ninmp3" nor "ninmp3.tpi.local."

Thanks,
Pete

        Does it return anything? 
        
        Run it again for the long name? 
        
        Does it retrun anything? 
        
        Are they the same? Different clientids? 
        
        If the long name returns the client id I would delete the short
name
        client, recreate the long name client using the clientid
returned above.
        
        
        Sounds like maybe the index was saved under the long name. Was
the
        client deleted and recreated after upgrading?

        No such luck in either case..  nsrck -X provides:
        
        nsrck: checking index for 'ninmp3'
        nsrck: /nsr/index/ninmp3/ninmp3.tpi.local contains 0 records

        nsrck: Completed checking 1 client(s)
        
        
        [root@ninmp3 root]# nsrck -L7 ninmp3
        nsrck: checking index for 'ninmp3'
        9343:nsrck: The file index for client 'ninmp3' will be
recovered.
        9348:nsrck: The index recovery for 'ninmp3' failed.
        39078:nsrck: File index error: can't find index backups for
'ninmp3' on
        server 'ninmp3.tpi.local'
        
        I'm guessing my only recourse is to scan the tapes in with
scanner.

                        Hi fellow NetWorkers,
                        
                        This may be a really simple fix but I'm not sure
where to attack.  
                        I'm trying to restore stuff from when I used 7.2
on this machine.  
                        The machine is now 7.4, but it says the client
doesnt have any backed
                              

        
          

                        up save sets.  See below example, I can clearly
query the media 
                        database and see the tape I need is for ninmp3.
Even when I 
                        specifically specify -c ninmp3, it still tells
me there's no index.
                        
                        Is there a command I can run to regenerate the
media index based on 
                        what's in the database, or am I stuck rescanning
the tapes I saved in
                        7.2 into 7.4?
                        
                        [root@ninmp3 catalogs]# mminfo -r
