If you are on the NetWorker server, just use "nsradmin".  The balance of the parameters are not needed based on what you used.  The -d parameter is used when looking at offline res.

–d resdir

Uses the NetWorker resource database resdir instead of opening a network connection. The database

resdir must be in directory format. This should be used sparingly, and only when the NetWorker server is not running. Multiple –

d and resdir arguments can be used to start nsradmin with access to more than one database at a time.

Hi Mike,

  thank you for your answer. But (as always...), I get these messages when all nsr daemons are stopped. Also when all nsr daemons except nsrd are running. And there is no other nsrdb directory on the system. So it should be a nsr database. Strange....

Regards, Edgar.

Edgar,

Just to rule out any incorrect parsing of the path you supplied within the nsradmin itself (lowercase characters etc, sometimes
is required when specifying the paths?) can you try nsradmin -d . from the actual res directory as in your example or nsradmin -d "d:
Progran Files
Legato
nsr
res". Unless nsrd is running you will not be able to run nsradmin without the -d flag.

Regards,

Bill Mason

Hi,

I know of a similar situation (copied a nsrdb from one to another windows system), was able to

access every single file from windows explorer, but not able to use nsradmin -d. Same error as

yours. It happened on W2K8R2

Solution in our case: changed the Windows user account system to low security.

Hi Bill,

  after stopping nsrd, I've tried your suggestion and got the same results:

D:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\res>nsradmin -d .
Can not find a Networker database in the specified directory
39078:nsradmin: SYSTEM error: The operation completed successfully.

D:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\res>cd nsrdb

D:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\res\nsrdb>nsradmin -d .
Can not find a Networker database in the specified directory
39078:nsradmin: SYSTEM error: The operation completed successfully.

Do you have any other tips?

Kind regards, met vriendelijke groeten, mit freundlichen Gruessen, Edgar.

Hi Edgar, try as follows:

With Networker services stopped go to the path:

C:\Progam Files\legato\nsr\res and type:

C:\Progam Files\legato\nsr\res>nsradmin -d nsrdb

Please let us know if that helps.

Thank you.

Carlos.

Hi Carlos,

  trying this reports the same error.

Thank you anyway, regards, Edgar.

Hi Holger,

  this sounds promising as we are using a Win2008R2 server also. What type of user account do you use and what security level did you give the user account?

Kind regards, vriendelijke groeten, freundlichen Gruessen, Edgar Matzinger.

Hi Edgard,

it was on a german OS, so I probably do not know the right translation  to english OS.

One of the Windows Admins at the customer changed, I believe, the security schema

of the entire system to "no security". A reboot was required to get this to work.

After that we could access the nsrdb with nsradmin

Hope this help you.

Since you are using Windows 2008,  when you start a command line, did you start it as administrator?

Unlike 2003 or before, you have to start cmd by running as administrator.

Try this and see if you have the same errors.

Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere war es die Nutzerkontensteuerung, User Account Management

Hi Holger,

  und auf Deutsch? Wie ist das Sicherheits-schema angepasst? Und wo?

Vielen Dank, mit freundlichen Gruessen, Edgar.

Hi Wallace,

  you're the best! Your advise worked like a charm. Holger, mein herzlichen Dank gilt ihnen ebenso!

Kind regards, vriendelijke groeten, freundlichen Gruessen, Edgar.
