Hi, Dinesh,

You say you have deleted the tape device and node, but the server
continues to poll the storage node? That's unlikely. Here's the sequence
you should be following:

1. Install and start NetWorker on your test server      

2. Run mmrecov to recover the media database

3. Stop NetWorker

4. Move the recovered resource files into position

5. With NetWorker still down, use nsradmin to delete all your devices
and jukeboxes. What follows is for *nix, but the same principles apply
to Wintel.
# cd /nsr/res
# nsradmin -d ./nsrdb
NetWorker administration program.
Use the "help" command for help, "visual" for full-screen mode
nsradmin> . type:nsr device
Current query set
nsradmin> show name
nsradmin> print
The program displays a list of all defined devices
nsradmin> delete
                        name: "rd=mystoragenode:/dev/rmt/2cbn";
Delete? y
deleted resource id 0.170.99.85.63.30.111.108.170.116.34.57(23833)

This repeats for each device

nsradmin> . type:nsr jukebox
Current query set
nsradmin> show name
nsradmin> print
The program displays a list of all defined jukeboxes
nsradmin> delete
                        name: "rd=mystoragenode:myjukebox";
Delete? y
deleted resource id
1.41.66.32.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.65.88.118.224.170.116.34.57(5845)
This repeats for each jukebox

If you're running a DR test you'll probably want to disable all your
autostarted savegroups:

nsradmin>. type:nsr group;autostart:enabled
Current query set
nsradmin> update autostart:disabled
updated resource id
2.48.11.61.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.56.88.171.402.705.501.43.75(15884)
etc.
nsradmin> quit

6. Start NetWorker and create your new devices and jukeboxes.


Good luck!

Subject: Disable Storage Node Polling Interval

Hi,

I am very new to Legato so need your expert advise.

My situation - I am testing a disaster recovery scenario. The original
networker server has two storage nodes. I have installed  networker on a
different server (on a test environment without storage nodes). I have
restored the bootstrap from the backup tape. Now I want to test restore
other servers. The test backup server seems to hang every few minutes
and I think its because its trying to communicate with the storage
nodes. Correct me if I am wrong.

So my question is how do I stop the test backup server from polling the
storage nodes. I have deleted the storage nodes from the test backup
server. (deleted the tape device and then the node). I had expected that
the polling would stop once the nodes were deleted. What am I missing
here or am I on wrong track.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards
DG
