[Networker] Scanner -im on large number of tape.

Hi,

  i'm migrating my NetWorker server to hp-ux enviroment to a windows 
enviroment, so the only way to port the media and the index database in the new 
server is to do "scanner -im" on all my olt tape.

There is a best practice to do this? i've tried to script this proceture but 
i've encountred some error:

 

1- when the scanner finish read a tape ask to inser the next tape of the 
unfinished savesets instead of exit an return the prompt.

2- while scannig some tapes i receive the following errors:

    8829:scanner: (ssid 3764450080) index error, store failed  
    The operation completed successfully.  
    83622:scanner: (ssid 3764450080) index error, cannot continue. Aborting  
    83623:scanner: (ssid 3764450080) index error, failed to store index records 
 
    8831:scanner: (ssid 3764450080) error decoding save stream  
    8767:scanner: write failed, Broken pipe  

3- if i launch more than one scan at the same time (using different drives) i 
receive some "already open file" error.

 

At the end, there is a way for scan automatically a big number of tapes and to 
do this by using several devices at the same time?
