NetBackup status code: 5

Message: Restore failed completely.

Explanation: The following issues can cause this issue:

  • The vCPU for Azure was consumed past the threshold limit.

  • When you restore a replicated copy of EC2 instance to an alternate location, the key-pair names must be same on the source and the destination region.

  • The source snapshot is removed from the cloud provider.

  • The following are possible causes of granular restore failure:

    • Granular restore is not supported for the file systems and destination hosts that are created on LVM, LDM, storage pool, all variants of FAT, and volumes without drive letters.

    • The destination free disk space.

    • The destination file system was read-only.

    • Invalid destination path.

    • Before NetBackup Snapshot Manager version 10.0, vxms indexing was not supported. The granular restore (GRT) failed when a GRT is attempted from an older version of NetBackup Snapshot Manager and the source disk had lvm configured.

Recommended Action: To correct this issue, try the following solutions as appropriate:

  • If using Azure, contact your cloud provider to increase the threshold limit.

  • If you try to restore a replicated copy of EC2, create a new key-pair in the destination region. The new key-pair must be consistent with the key-pair in the source region.

  • Source snapshot must be retained on the cloud provider until the image expiration duration is selected in the protection plan.

When a VMware agentless restore is performed, the restore can cause one of the following issues:

  • Failed to upload recovery tool on destination VM %s with error %d.

    Make sure there is sufficient space or permissions available at the staging location.

  • Failed to extract the recovery tool on the destination VM.

    Confirm there is sufficient space available at the staging location %s in the target VM.

When a granular restore fails, perform the following:

  • For lvm and ldm disks granular restore, upgrade the Snapshot Manager to version 10.0.

  • Ensure that restore destination path is accessible with sufficient privileges and disk space.

  • The file wise restore error and warning report is available on source host (Windows or Linux) as follows:

    • Windows host path: C:\ProgramData\Veritas\CloudPoint\restore\<job-id>/

    • Linux host path: /root/veritas/<job-id>/

      These locations provide the details of the disk wise restored file status.

      For example:

      D#.log -> Existing log file which shows higher level failure
      D#-Error.log ->This file is generated only when an error 
      (at least one) is displayed during the copy process.
      
      This file logs the Actual Exception / OS exception.
      D#-Warning.log -> This file is generated only when a warning message 
      (at least one) is displayed during the restore task.
