This is a "classic" problem. If the client's index was backed up by a
different named server then the new server has to take ownership of
those indexes. Otherwise, they belong to the older (other) server or
client, so the new server does not consider those to be its own indexes
and will refuse to recover them. You might as well be talking to a brick
wall.
You might be able to play tricks with DNS, but you can do a renaming
process - explained somewhere in the documentation - wherein the old
server's media database entries become owned by the new server? But to
do that, you have to change the old client's (old server's) client-id to
match the new server? But you can't edit that field except at create
time, so you have to delete the client resource, and then re-create it,
but this time specify the real client-id that you want to use before you
hit 'apply'? Sheesh! What a nightmare. So confusing. Never was clear on
the steps, however, and what if I want to go back later?
It would be a lot easier if they just had a command to do this. Another
request to have added to future releases of the product but one that
should have been added years ago ... sigh ...

I see the index on tape:
# mminfo -q volume=W01074 -v | grep 0057
W01074 susvr0210 11/08/04 07:44:42 AM 33 GB 781150776 cr
full index:susvr0057
And I have that volume mounted in a drive.
But I can't get the index back:
# nsrck -L7 -t '11/08/04' susvr0057
nsrck: checking index for 'susvr0057'
nsrck: The file index for client 'susvr0057' will be recovered.
nsrck: The index recovery for 'susvr0057' failed.
nsrck: File index error: can't find index backups for 'susvr0057' on
server 'susvr0210.gcsd.harris.com'
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
