Here's a question ... I have 2 instances of Networker - a Network Edition,
and a Business Edition. (The Business Edition is for a remote site; it's
easier than making it a storage node, because sometimes the connectivity
to that site goes out, and without connectivity, a storage node won't run
a job).
I have the same client, defined on both servers (but with different client
IDs).
Now, if I were to take an old tape, created on the Business Edition and
want to scan in it's contents to my Network Edition (so I could perform a
restore from that tape here, using the Network Edition and it's hardware
resources), would I be able to scan that tape? The recover will be
redirected to a folder here, so it wouldn't need to go back to it's
original location.
Would I have to create a new client, with the client ID on the tape,
before I could scan the file entries from the tape, into the mm database
on the Network Edition? OR .. can I just do a "scanner -c
client-name-that-already-exists-in-Network-Edition"?
(or can I / should I change the clientID in the Network Edition to match
the clientID on the tape, so that I just scan as I would normally, to
repopulate a mm database from tape?)
Any advice welcome
