Yes, the tape with the indexes is mounted and it is read. I haven't try the scanner yet because you know is process that take more time but I'll going to try it and see if the indexes are recovered. I noticed this problem happend when you do an upgrading to Networker 7.4.x I have see it this in Unix and Windows systems as well.

Are any tapes mounted while nsrck was running?

If you try to run scanner -i on the saveset you want, does it add anything to the index?

As I understand you want to merge indexes backuped up before upgrade with indexes after upgrade. Maybe this is a problem?

Could you run the following command:

nsrck -L7 -t "mm/dd/yyyy" client_name

and put here the outcome? Nevertheless, after that check if you can browse for the recovered indexes.

So indexes merge are not supported between Networker 7.2.x and Networker 7.4.x?

Never heard of it. If you rename your new index, then run nsrck -L7, does it work?

Index should be converted first and then merged. At least that's what nsrck should take care of.

I have two client with this issue. One with the AIX server where I don;t get any error message and another client with a Widows server, where I had some error messages. I thought that could be a OS issue so we reinstall it but still have the same problem. This is the error message that I'm getting in the Windows Server:

About the AIX server I don't have any error message to post.

Check the index path in client resource. It may be incorrect.

Check if the index path is the same before and after the upgrade.

Do a search on Powerlink. I found an article there earlier. how do restore index from a 7.2.x backup. You need to do some actions on the filesystem. after the nsrck -L7.
