It's too bad that this thread didn't happen a few weeks ago, as now I am
committed to delivering a SAN Client solution for a client that is
incomplete.

We are running NBU 6.5.4, and no restores have worked yet at all, with
SAN Client enabled.  Unfortunately, we are deploying SAN Client
specifically because the client does not have any more ports available
to use for backup.  Restoring the backups over the LAN is really not an
option in this case.

I will be opening a case with Symantec about this, and I will see about
having it linked with your case.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.6 restore for a SAN Client

The SAN client is not working correctly since it came out.
(It took Symantec until 6.5.4 to remove the fragment issue that i did
report with version 6.5.1)
I'm working on a case since Netbackup 6.5.1 and still restores are
failing most of the times.
Fell free to link your case with my case number (410-654-721).
The more customers report this unacceptable situation the more pressure
for Symantec to fix this issue.

For me it worked to set the SAN client to never under device section -
this switched to LAN and the restores worked always this way.

To permanently disable i would recommend:

bpclntcmd -sanclient 0
Stop (windows) or kill (Unix/Linux) the nbftclnt service process on the
client
You should now be able to delete the client from the GUI (SAN Clients in
Devices)

Best Regards,
Ernst
