An error may occur when restoring from an Isilon NDMP backup to alternate paths
This error is associated with Isilon OneFS 8.0.0.1.
An error (status code 2813: NDMP policy restore error) may occur when you restore from an Isilon NDMP backup to an alternate path. The restore fails when the number of directories in the specified alternate path is less than the number of directories in the selected restore path.
Note:
EMC Isilon plans to include a fix to this issue in a future release of Isilon OneFS. Check your Isilon documentation and the Dell EMC Isilon website for more details about the fix.
Workaround:
Change the alternate path specification for the restore so that it does not have a smaller number of directories than the selected restore path has.
For example:
Assume that backup the policy was set up to back up
/ifs/User_1. Therefore, the backup includes subdirectories such as/ifs/User_1/0/000/000in it.You select
/ifs/User_1/0/000/000for restore.In this case, the selected restore path has three directories in it:
0/000/000.Next, you set up the restore to an alternate path:
/ifs/User_1/restore/and run the restore job.However, the Isilon filer seems to ignore the first element of the alternate path (
/ifs) and recognizes only two directories:User_1/restore.The restore fails with status code 2813 because the number of directories in the alternate path is less than the number of directories in the selected restore path. In this case, there are two directories (
User_1/restore) in the alternate path versus three directories (0/000/000) in the selected restore path.Next, you change the alternate path to
/ifs/User_1/restore/test.Isilon now recognizes three directories (
User_1/restore/test) in the alternate path. This number matches the number of directories in the selected restore path.The restore now completes successfully.
