Using scanner command

Hi

Question regarding scanner command.

Info:

Windows 2008 R2

EMC NetWorker server 8.1.1.2 Build 280

Reinstall NW server and reconfig manually (not using bootstrap)

small environment (less than 10 clients) & rather messy install earlier - the reason for not using bootstrap.

NW server with new name, ip and hostid

Clients reconfigured retaining client_id

Licenses rehosted @powerlink

Added AFTD devices, ran scanner on them

scanner -i \\hostname\device001

Scanner works and scans and links the SSIDs to correct client

when doing "Media -> Save sets -> save set list" the savesets are displayed correctly with all info

"Media -> Indexes" Shows indexes not zero size

"Media -> Indexes -> Show savesets" displays correct saveset info

But, when doing "Media -> Disk Volumes -> Show savesets" on the scanned volumes I get: "There are no savesets on this volume"

The mminfo command gives the same result: "no matches found for the query"

Any ideas why ?

And possibly a solution ?

Thanks

Regards

Eivind Antonsen

    Could be just GUI.  I don't trust GUI - it is like make up - I'm more interested in things beneath.  What you did translates to following command:

    mminfo -q volume= -r name

    If that doesn't show anything, do:

    mminfo -avot -q volume= -r name,ssid,ssflags,sumflags,clflags,group,client,savetime

    If that doesn't show anything - then something is wrong big time.

    Before you do anything else, verify that the info from the GUI matches the one from the command line.

    One possible issue is that you have choosen a shorter retention policy than our old setup. As a consequence, NW might have run the cleanup procedure (nsrim) in the interim and may have deleted older save sets (on an AFTD).

    Hope that the save sets still exist. If so,

    - increase the rention policy for your clients apprpriately and

    - rescan the mdia.

    Otherwise, i am afraind that the save sets have been deleted from your AFTD.

    You can verify that if you search for all files on the AFTD location.

    Hi,

    Since the networker server is hosted with a different name , Can you perform a scanner for a single SSID & post the result.

    scannerr -vvv -i "device_name"

    Hello

    Thank you for your replies.

    1. mminfo:

    mminfo -q volume= -r name

    Result:6095:mminfo: no matches found for the query

    mminfo -avot -q volume= -r name,ssid,ssflags,sumflags,clflags,group,client,savetime

    Result: 6095:mminfo: no matches found for the query

    2. Retention:

    Browse/retention is set to year/year for all clients so that should not be the issue

    3. scanner -vvv -i "device_name"

    Reran scanner on one of the volumes, here are examples of the output

    32334:scanner: (ssid 331996587) hostname:/path/to/file @ time 1388961194 not found in index

    32333:scanner: (ssid 2362887434) hostname:/path/to/file off 1847065960, size 912

    32336:scanner: (ssid 1908914241) hostname:/path/to/file.lock @ time 1388820543 confirmed in index

    32336:scanner: (ssid 2362887434) hostname:/path/to/file @ time 1389808931 confirmed in index

    32333:scanner: (ssid 331996587) hostname:/path/to/file.log off 1114116740, size 142832

    32333:scanner: (ssid 3763098515) hostname:/path/to/file.pdf off 1843562800, size 2252772

    32333:scanner: (ssid 1908914241) hostname:/path/to/file.lock off 18052432, size 272

    32334:scanner: (ssid 331996587) hostname:/path/to/file.log @ time 1388961194 not found in index

    32336:scanner: (ssid 3763098515) hostname:/path/to/file.pdf @ time 1380733842 confirmed in index

    32336:scanner: (ssid 1908914241) hostname:/path/to/file.lock @ time 1388820543 confirmed in index

    32333:scanner: (ssid 3763098515) hostname:/path/to/file.msg off 1845815572, size 25600

    32333:scanner: (ssid 1908914241) hostname:/path/to/file.lock off 18052704, size 252

    32336:scanner: (ssid 3763098515) hostname:/path/to/file.msg @ time 1380733842 confirmed in index

    32336:scanner: (ssid 1908914241) hostname:/path/to/file.lock @ time 1388820543 confirmed in index

    32333:scanner: (ssid 1908914241) hostname:/path/to/file.lock off 18052956, size 272

    32336:scanner: (ssid 1908914241) hostname:/path/to/file.lock @ time 1388820543 confirmed in index

    Please note (I should have put this in the original post maybe):

    These devices are extremely large dedupe AFTD devices. (logical size that is)

    The scanner takes days to complete for each volume

    and, in the GUI "media - > disk volumes" lists the affected volumes as zero size

    Thanks

    Pick one ssid and do query, for example:

    mminfo -q ssid=331996587 -r volume,ssbrowse,ssretent,name,client,ssflags,sumflags,clflags

    I find a bit strange that volume query showed nothing, but perhaps volume name used was not correct (above command will give you volume name in first column).

    Hi

    The above command displays the expected results.

    What I'll do next is re-run scanner and see if that helps.

    I'll update this post after that has been done, may take over a week to complete.

    Cheers

    Hello

    The scanner command ran for 11+ days on each device.

    After new successful scan the devices now show data as expected.

    Unsure why they didn't before.

    Cheers
