Hi all
i have recently changed hardware in our TEST sql server cluster, we installed the same OS, Windows 2008, introduced the new hardware to the old cluster and moved the sql server instances to the new hardware and then removed the old hardware from the cluster.
everything worked like a charm, backups, linked servers and the works
until now, when i got my first restore request.
the Production SQL cluster nodes are all the same version as test (sql 2008 SP4) and have the same version of netbackup installed (7.6.0.4) but the production nodes are also Netbackup Media Servers in order to backup data faster due to the DDBost functionality when communicating with our DataDomain, where the data is stored.
restoring databases is a fairly common procedure, i´ve done it a thousand times but i cannot get it to work now, something must be off with the new servers but we cannot find it!
the restore (or move) script looks like this (we changed the MAXTRANSFERSIZE and NUMBUFS from 7 and 2 as a step in the troubleshooting):
the errormessage is below and the dbclient logfile is attached
#
# This is a template for the database MOVE command.
