Disaster recovery using tape on storage node?
My DC env:
Networker Server: Windows with LTO-3 tape library 64 lots
Networker Client: mix env with Windows and Sun Solaris
My DR env:
Networker Server: Windows without any media attach to it
Networker Storage Node: Sun Solaris with single LTO-3 tape drive
Networker Client: Mix env with Windows and Sun Solaris
Networker version: 7.6.1
Already configured the root@storagenode on the adminstrator list
I need to disaster recover from tape at DC to DR site using Storage Node at DR site
Tried to run:
scanner -B rd=storagenode:/dev/rmt/0cbn
but failed with folowing information: scanner: /dev/rmt/0cbn: open faied. The system cannot find the path specified.
I got same error with command: mmrecov
NEED YOUR HELP TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM HERE.
Note: I know if i move the tape to networker server on windows my life is easy but this is not acceptable...
Thanks very much.
Thanks Carlos,
Found that: you cannot run the command: scanner for remote device on Networker server... you must run it on storage node...
For mmrecov: must run on Networker server but not support on my case (with storage node) quoted from: esg52477
Anyway, my solultion is: Upgrade storage node to networker server... (a bit difficult to migrate from Windows to Solaris).
Regards,
Tien.

Tien,
You can do a cross platform migration of a NetWorker server, as described in:

Also check this one for some information about merging NW servers:

Thank you.

You can scan for the bootstrap on the local client after you have configured it as a device. However I am not sure if mmrecov will work with a remote device...

Hi Tien,
Are the devices correctly configured on storage node on DR site? If so, are you able to mount tapes or perform any other operations normally?
Have you tried running only scanner -i or scanner -m instead of scanner -B?
Have you tried to add some debug options to the scanner command, such as:
scanner -vvv -B rd=storagenode:/dev/rmt/0cbn
Anyway, when you start the mmrecov all available devices, if that one is not displayed then either is not properly configured or is not recognized. Anyway I have my doubts about using storage node to perform mmrecov process.
Thank you.
Carlos.
