Hi All,
I would like to recover data from a tape which stores data of a dismissed server. I deleted the server from Networker Console, so in the indexes tab there isn't the server index. This isn't a bootable tape; I tried the scanner command ( from the documentation it seemed a good choice) but the command failed. I' m trying to find the right way on the
Legato Networker 7.1 Admin Guideand on the Disaster Recovery Guide but so far I'm not able to restore data. The expiration date of the volume is January 20th. As far as I know should be a prerequisite to have the server index...
Any idea ?
Thanks and Best regards
I had created a small doc. regarding the possible recovery scenarios from tapes of an unknown or dismissed server. If client ID is available, you can create the client with this client ID and use scanner -m \\.\tape0 to get its index & media database.
If client ID is not available, check for either of the scenarios -
1. Recover an entire Save Set to the Networker Server ¿ scanner ¿S SSID \\.\Tape0 | uasm -rv 2. Get the list and path of files recoverable from a Save Set - scanner ¿S SSID \\.\Tape0 | uasm -nrv 3. Recover a single file from a Save Set to the Networker Server ¿ scanner ¿S SSID \\.\Tape0 | uasm -rv filename 4. Recover a single file from a Save Set to the Networker Server on a different location ¿ scanner ¿S SSID \\.\Tape0 | uasm -rv -m source=dest filename
Replace SSID with save set ID & \\.\tape0 with your device name.
If SSID is not known, use scanner -m \\.\tape0 to get it populated under the volumes tab to get SSID etc.
I'm not clear with what you are trying to do so I will simply give you few points to follow: a) if data is in media db and data is not browsable, create client using name and clientid and then run ssid recover b) if you need to scan data for some reason, scan it - before make sure to recreate client and pool to which data belong c) if index is still recoevrable simply merge it via nsrck command. however make sure client definition is there

2. Get the list and path of files recoverable from a Save Set -
scanner ¿S SSID \\.\Tape0 | uasm -nrv
3. Recover a single file from a Save Set to the Networker Server ¿
scanner ¿S SSID \\.\Tape0 | uasm -rv filename
4. Recover a single file from a Save Set to the Networker Server on a different location ¿
scanner ¿S SSID \\.\Tape0 | uasm -rv -m source=dest filename
Replace SSID with save set ID & \\.\tape0 with your device name.
If SSID is not known, use scanner -m \\.\tape0 to get it populated under the volumes tab to get SSID etc.
