Celera Simulator for restoring NDMP Backups

[reynoldsii]

I am trying to find a method for restoring NDMP backups that were on an older Celera which we are about to decommission.  We've stood up EMC's Celera simulator and I can connect to the simulator from both the media server and from the master server.  When I run the tpautoconf and define the host name to the simulator i get login successful as shown below:

Simulator
  Connecting to host "daynasrestore" as user "ndmp"...
  Waiting for connect notification message...
  Opening session--attempting with NDMP protocol version 4...
  Opening session--successful with NDMP protocol version 4
    host supports TEXT authentication
    host supports MD5 authentication
  Getting MD5 challenge from host...
  Logging in using MD5 method...
  Host info is:
    host name "server_2"
    os type "DartOS"
    os version "EMC Celerra File Server.T.6.0.36.4"
    host id "abc1997"
Login was successful
Host supports LOCAL backup/restore
Host supports 3-way backup/restore

When I try and restore data the restore fails with the following information:

have a look at below T/N

What Nagalla might be trying to say is this:

You will need to restore to a volume (that has been created) via its root_vdm_#

aka /root_vdm_1/day04old.caresource.corp

or something similar..

[Marianne]

This path does not look like a filer path - more like a Windows share with the c$ in the path?

/day04old.caresource.corp/c$/src_home/Restores 

You will need to specify a valid path.

[reynoldsii]

Yes you are correct its a Windows path but its actaul a share on the Celera Simulator.  I'm thinking the passwords are different between the old NDMP and the simulator and NetBackup is using the global password insted of the defined password.

[Marianne]

The problem is with destination path.

Have a look at the links in Nagalla's post.
