EMcopy Error 53

Hello,

I'm trying to copy files from a physical server to a virtual server that has 2 mapped drives to EMC (File level) storage.  I get error 53 (see below).

The message states it cannot create the intermediate directory.  I'm taking this as the new directory can't be created on the virtual server for some reason.  I tried manually creating a folder on the virtual server, but still get the same error.  Has anyone used EMcopy to send files to another server with mapped drives ?  Or is there another reason why this error is being generated ?  Thanks.

Wow ! It works now (see below).  I changed E$ to E: and removed the trailing \ after the onyxftp folders.  Thank you very much for solving the problem.

10.15.120.29 is the CIFS server you created on Celerra/VNX ?

March 14th, 2014 06:00

No, it is the IP address of the W2K8 virtual server where I need to copy\move files to.  It has the 2 mapped drives back to the Celerra\VNX.

you can't do that, why are you not copying to Celerra/VNX directly ?

emcopy.exe "E$\OnyxFTP\zip\"


this path does not look right, i am assuming you are running this from the physical server itself. If that's the case should't it say e:\OnyxFtp  ..or something of that nature ?

Hi Dynamox,

I tried that earlier today (see results below).  10.15.5.215 is the Celerra\VNX.  I'm now getting  "Arguments are missing" error.  Not sure the cause.   Any ideas ?

C:\EMCOPY>Emcopy_onyxftp_2.cmd

C:\EMCOPY>emcopy.exe "E$\OnyxFTP\zip\" "\\10.15.5.215\OnyxFTP\zip" /o /secfix /a /i /s /purge /d /r:1 /w:1 /c /log+:c:\onyxftpnew_diff_2.log

   /restoreSD

           Restore all security properties wihtout copying any file content
