Please provide solution this is a test server.
  • Team,

     

    Now the restore is completed successfully after creating the folder under the below location in master server

     

    /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/No.Restrictions

     

  • Previously altnames/No.Restrictions folder was not there after creating this restore got completed successfully

  • The same was advised by Marianne; it would be justice to mark Marianne's post as solution.

    Oracle restores cannot be initiated from the master server. It can only be initiated from the destination client.
    Plus alternate client restore must be authorised with altnames files on the master.

    Please share details of steps that you have followed on the master and on the destination client.
