We had a similar problem but on v7.2.2 with ufs. The issue was that the

could recover when backups were writing.
Guess what? I just received notification from EMC with exactly the
same recommendation and upon testing it, I find that it works. I am
now able to recover data from my advanced file type device while it is
receiving back up data. Unfortunately, EMC also informed me that they
do not support an X4500 with Solaris x86 as a NetWorker 7.4 Storage
Node. I have been using my X4500 as a storage node since late October
and I have recovered several terabytes worth of data off it (both tape
and disk), so I am not going to lose any sleep over this, but those
who are considering purchasing an X4500 for use as a Storage Node may
want to factor that into your decision.
Stan,
I asked EMC directly if they supported the Networker 7.4 on Solaris x86
and I got back a no as well. I then realized it should be Solaris x64
which runs on the x4500s. When I asked them if they support it on that
platform I got back an affirmative. Sun also lists the storage node
packages for Solaris x64 on page 6 (table 2-1) of it's Enterprise Backup
Software 7.4 Roadmap quide. (
http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/820-0707-10/820-0707-10.pdf ) You can see in this
table that the storage node is not listed on x86 (32 bit) but is on x64.
Therefore; I think you should push back to EMC to clarify indicating
Solaris10 x64.
FYI,
Jon
