    SOLVED:

    OK guys, here's what I did in order to restore the RAW LUN to a different volume, and it worked perfectly:

    1. Unmapped the currently active LUN ID

    2. changed the volume and the LUN name (the qTree name cannot be changed).

    3. created a new volume with same name as the original volume. Also created a new qTree under it with same name as original qtree.

    3. Performed the restore. Under NDMP tab I made sure the Preserve Tree option is selected. No other special options selected.

    4. After the restore I noticed a new LUN was created under the new volume and qtree that had the original name. The new LUN also had the original name.

    That's it! Now I had the original volume/qTree/LUN (with the name changed) and the restored lun in the new volume I created.

     

    Hope this'll help someone in the future :)
