Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Updating the index location for a client in NetWorker

1. From the Administration window, click Protection.
2. Click Clients.
3. Right-click the client with the client file index location to be changed, then select Properties. The Properties dialog box appears.
4. Click the Globals (2 of 2) tab.
5. In the Index Path attribute, type the full path of the directory where the client file index now resides.
6. Click OK.
7. (Optional) From a command prompt, run the nsrck or nsrls command and check the output for any errors.

   For example, to run nsrck on client jupiter, type:

   nsrck -L6 jupiter

   Output similar to the following appears:

   nsrck: checking index for 'jupiter'
   nsrck: nsrindexesjupiter contains 54 records occupying 7 KB
   nsrck: Completed checking 1 client(s)

   NOTE:Depending on the size of the client file index, running either nsrck or nsrls can take a considerable amount of time. Running the nsrck -L6 command, as shown in the example, also checks the index for corruption.

   If no problems are found, then all future client file index information is saved to the new location.
