Editing retention for a save set:

The following command updates the retention time for save set ID 3315861249
to midnight on January 1, 2016:
nsrmm -S 3315861249 -e "01/01/16 23:59:59"

The following command updates the retention time for save set ID 3315861249
to two years from the current date and time:
nsrmm -S 3315861249 -e "2 years"

Autochanger inventory (Jukebox):


Reset the autochanger:
nsrjb -Hv
Inventory: the autochanger:
nsrjb Iv
Resetting a library:
nsrjb -HE
Cartridge cleaning
Nsrjb L

Dynamic Drive Sharing (DDS):


Ensure that all applicable devices can be seen from each storage node by
running the command locally on each storage node:
inquire -l
shows device path and s/n of device
inquire -cl

Client parallelism and parallel save streams (PSS):


PSS:streams_per_ss=2,*
splits all save sets into two parallel save streams

PSS:streams_per_ss=3,/data1, 5,/data2
splits /data1 into three parallel save streams and /data2 into five parallel save
streams

EMC recommends setting parallelism to 4 or a value greater than the


PSS:streams_per_ss variable, otherwise backups may fail. The
PSS:streams_per_ss values range from 1 to 8.
Displaying a list of the critical volumes:
save -o VSS:LCV=yes

Changing the hostname of a client:


To change the hostname of a client, you must delete the Client resource, rename
the
directory with the client file index for the client, and then create a Client resource
with the
new hostname and the original client ID.

Use the nsrclientfix command to analyze the media database and identify client
ID
inconsistencies. To resolve client ID issues, use the nsrclientfix command to
merge
information about multiple clients in the media database and resource database
into one
client resource with the original client ID.

- For NetWorker server client ID issues: 000185727


- For NetWorker client client ID issues: 000193911

The scanner program retrieves the information that is needed to re-create


entries in either
the client file index, in the media database, or in both places.

Using nsrmm to modify the save set properties:


Modify the save set entry to make it recoverable with the nsrmm command:
nsrmm -e "MM/DD/YYYY" -S ssid/cloneid

Modify the save set to the not recyclable status:


nsrmm -o notrecyclable -S ssid/cloneid -y

Verify that the save set status is recoverable:


mminfo -q ssid=ssid -r sumflags

Query the media database to confirm that the index save set for a client is
recoverable:
mminfo -avot -N index:client_name

Use the nsrck program to repopulate the client file index with information about
all save sets for the client up to the date and time specified.
nsrck -L7 -t "MM/DD/YYYY" client_name

mminfo -q ssid=ssid -r sumflags
