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

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"

Reply 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

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

Reply 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).

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.
