First off, thanks to: Rich Kulawiec <rsk@gsp.org> Stuart Whitby <swhitby@legato.com> Vic Engle <sunmanager@nc.rr.com> Paul Brna <pbrna@comcastbusiness.com> Luc I. Suryo" <luc@suryo.com> Per Stuart and Paul, the Legato mailing list is at: http://listmail.temple.edu/archives/networker.html Besides the usual you-should-have-bought-a-Toyota-and-then-your-Ford- wouldn't-be-stranded-on-the-side-of-the-road (yes, I know some people prefer Amanda, but tooting your horn as you blow by and telling me that won't solve my problem), most folks suggested what we'd already tried: rebuilding data and media indices with 'scanner.' We ended up opening a trouble ticket with Sun on this one. Turns out the internal 'clientid' in the Solstice Backup/Legato media index (a 48- character aphalanumeric (they look something like this: 4d4406a4-00000004-3c24918e-3c24918d-00010000-0ab10902) for the client was not the same as the one viewable in the Clients window of the NetWorker GUI. (This clientid can be extracted using the 'mminfo' utility--see the man page.) It would appear someone changed the client name after its initial creation, and the original never gets deleted from the media index. To work around the problem, we created a new, bogus client, then cut-and- pasted the real client's clientid into its creation window, then were able to identify the Save Set ID's we needed to recover. Then, using the Solstice Backup command-line 'recover' utility, we were able to specify the SSID's to recover. We've not yet figured out a permanent fix to getting the client's clientid fixed. (You can make up a clientid for a new client, but not change that of an existing one.) We are pursuing an upgrade beyond 6.01, as Luc suggested. -- Tim Evans | 5 Chestnut Court tkevans@tkevans.com | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864;410-748-0160 (pager) _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Feb 24 19:58:23 2003
