       nsrindexd - NetWorker file index daemon

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The nnssrriinnddeexxdd daemon is started by the server nnssrrdd(8) dae-
       mon.  It should not be started by hand.  The  daemon  pro-
       vides  an  RPC-based service to the server nnssrrdd(8) daemon;
       direct network access to this service is not allowed.  The
       RPC  program and version numbers provided by nnssrriinnddeexxdd are
       390105 and 4, respectively.

       The service provided to the NetWorker system  is  designed
       for  high  performance  insertion  and  deletion  of  save
       records into indexes.  This  performance  is  obtained  by
       keeping   information  cached  in  the  nnssrriinnddeexxdd  process
       address space.  When the NetWorker system wishes to commit
       a save session's records, it notifies the nnssrriinnddeexxdd daemon
       (via a remote procedure call) to flush its volatile  state
       to its file(s).

       Since  the daemon (or the server machine) may crash at any
       time, the index files  may  be  left  in  an  inconsistent
       state.   Therefore,  the  maintenance program, nnssrrcckk(8) is
       run automatically by the nnssrrdd daemon before the  NetWorker
       service is started.

       Since  nnssrriinnddeexxdd  and nnssrrcckk are run at the same time, both
       programs use an advisory file  locking  mechanism  on  the
       file  ddbb..SSCCAAVVEENNGGEE to synchronize their access to an index.

                             When  this file exists and nnssrriinnddeexxdd
                             is not running,  the  nnssrrcckk  program
                             must  be  run  before  nnssrriinnddeexxdd  is
                             restarted.
