Hello,
Backup server - Networker 7.6 / Win2008_64
Serverold
Servernew
We had a Win2003 server (serverold) that we rebuilt into Win2012 Server (servernew). Once rebuilt we gave it different IP and new name. I setup new client for this server in networker and the client seems to backup just fine, but I get the following error when I try to test the recovery for servernew:
" serverold is not properly configured on network server."
===========
I have deleted serverold from networker using these directions:
1. delete the client in NMC
2. stop nsr services
3. delete the client's index folder (install_dir\nsr\index\client_name)
4. clear the cache by renaming \nsr\tmp\ folder to \nsr\tmp_old_todaysdate
5. start nsr services
6. temporarily set the Autostart function on all Groups to Disabled (it is best to perform the following when NW is idle)
7. run the following commands to verify, fix and purge the index and mdb records
nsrck -L6
nsrim -X
8. set the Autostart function on groups that was changed in step 8 back to Enabled.
==============
As far as I can tell the client "serverold" is gone. BUT, in Network Management Console / Networker Administrator / Configuration / Local Host I right click client "servernew" select Configure Local Agent and on the General Tab I see Identity - Name: "serverold" and on Advanced Tab My Hostname : serverold, BUT on the System Tab Hostname: servernew
What the heck? Is it possible to edit the My Hostname on Advanced Tab?
If that is possible, the next issue is permissions in that window "No Privileges to view administration list." I have always logged into NMC with administrator, which is the networker one and only user and its been that way since I setup networker server couple years ago. Just a note that "administrator" is the networker "native console authentication," the Windows 2008 server local admin user is not called administrator.
Any Ideas on what I should do to fix client "servernew" so I can do recoveries?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Joe
