Is there anyone who got a DB2 alternate restore going from the documentation.
We are running NB 7.01 and the :
Symantec NetBackup ™ for
DB2 Administrator's Guide
UNIX and Linux
Release 7.0
is just a copy with all errors included of the DB2 v6.0 release.
I found the articles which indicate that there is serious errors being carried over from one Manual to the other. I also include links which was of great help in getting the backups restores on the same server going.

This is to fix redirected DB2 restores error out with 'SQL2062N an error occurred while accessing media "/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbdb2.sl64". Reason code: "516"'

This article cleared some stuff, but my success level is still zero.

The logfile directories permission is 777 if anyone think that is my issue for getting the error
I will log a request to Symantec to get the documentation in order.
Any help will be appreciated
Solved! Go to Solution.

I just like to confirm that the biggest issue I experience is the lack and unclarity of documentation.
If you add limited DB2 admin experience, this can be a nightmare.
The following steps is what I see needs to be followed during a redirect restore on DB2.

When preparing the db2.conf file for the restore you need to give the folling infomation
Any db2 administrator who can give a better understanding of what happens during this, please comment

I just had to look up reason code 516:
516
Message:
NetBackup Find Image Failed
Cause:
NetBackup encountered errors when attempting to locate a backup image.
Can you please post bprd log file on master? Please post log as attachment.
Are you able to run bplist from destination client?
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bplist -C <source-client> -s <start-date> -e <end-date> -t 18 -R /

Thanks for the feedback! This seems like material for a HOW TO blog or article!
Since you managed to troubleshoot and solve the restore failure, I'm happy to mark the solution for you.
