Hi All,

Weird restore problem going on here w/ NW 6.1.3 running on Solaris 8.  I
normally do restores using ssid's so that I can get parallel restores going.

In the past I've done this:

recover -s nwsvr -S 1370830337 -S 1370919425 -S 1371983873 -S 1371984641

w/ very good results.  Now, I've got a high visibility production restore and
I'm getting:

NSR server `nwsvr': busy
recover: waiting 30 seconds then retrying

I've waited as much as 30 minutes w/o anything happening.

I've not only rebooted NW, but also the server and nothing else was happening
on the server at the time.  Same problem persisited.

In one instance, I pre-mounted a volume and a 'recover -s nwsvr -S 1370830337'
worked.  Then I did a 'recover -s nwsvr -S 1370919425' (next ssid) that I
verified existed on the same volume and I got the timeout stuff again.  Weird.

Other than disabling drives for the pool on a storage node (so that the SN
drives wouldn't be used), nothing that I'm aware of has changed on the box.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
        /\/elson
