You are correct I just figured since they weren`t recyclable that I
didn`t need that step..What was I thinking...this is Networker after
all.

Well, it's not *incorrect*, but it's likely also not sufficient. Did
you follow the steps listed in the 7.6 release notes? You also need to
make both the index saveset and the client saveset(s) "notrecyclable":
nsrmm -S (index ssid) -o notrecyclable
nsrmm -S (saveset ssid) -o notrecyclable
The release notes also have the "notrecyclable" for the index happening
*before* you adjust the browse time for the client savesets, so it may
not be sufficient to perform both of these steps just before the nsrck
-L7.
You're probably thinking "well they're already not recyclable". I
agree,
you wouldn't think it would be necessary. And in fact, non of this
silliness was necessary with 7.2.x. You just ran nsrck -L7 and it did
"The Right Thing".
This is why I've harped on this issue since I noticed it last year,
and why I have a support call open with EMC about the issue. I would
tell you more about that support call, but I can already feel my blood
pressure increasing, so I think I'll just stop here. :-|
