NMSQL 5.2 Sp2 Strange Restore Problem

Hi Everyone,

I have strange problem with nmsql restore. I created a ticket for that but EMC does not provide any solution yet. So i decieded to ask comminity.

I am backing up sql databases with nmsql 5.2 sp2 . Yesterday i need to restore one the backed up databases to new server. But when i started to restore the gui says

nsrsqlrc.c(7447): Could not get saveset record from mmdb; error: 0x00013884

savetime 1363030213 not in media db

Error getting backup endtime.

nsrsqlrc.c(4050): Error getting backup endtime from media Database.

and then starting to wait.
EMC support says its a known issue and it can recover succesfully but it waits in browsing state forever and recover never start. I need to recover this database as soon as possible and its size 2.2 TB. Any idea ?

Env. Detail,


Win 2003 R2 Sp2 x64

Sql 2005

NW Server 7.6.4

Nw Client 7.6.4

Nmsql 5.2 Sp2

If EMC said this is known issue, it means you need patch.  I guess it would be interesting to hear which patch it is. From it says in error, it looks as if nsrsqlrc did call to indexdb for lookup of index space for given client and nsavetime 1363030213 and failed to get any response for nmsql namespace.  Most likely, you can verify that from backup server by doing:

nsrinfo -t 1363030213 -n mssql

...and see if you get anything.  From there there are two possibilities:

a) nsavetime value passed is wrong (eg. there is nothing returned by above command)

b) there is some bug in communication (eg. if you do get response)

Yeah ok, those are not save sets, but rather datafiles for same database (ARP) which you are moving (not sure why though - did you request that?).  Do you see anything in event log?

March 18th, 2013 09:00

But i am getting this message for alot of save set id. After them it says

2 %s 1 0 511 RESTORE database [ARP] FROM virtual_device='Legato#3815e3b9-2e97-4366-af5a-f85d47f0183e'  WITH move 'ARPDATA1' to 'G:\ARP1\ARP_ARPDATA1_22431.mdf', move 'ARPDATA10' to 'G:\ARP1\ARP_ARPDATA10_22431.ndf', move 'ARPDATA11' to 'G:\ARP1\ARP_ARPDATA11_22431.ndf', move 'ARPDATA12' to 'H:\ARP2\ARP_ARPDATA12_22431.ndf', move 'ARPDATA13' to 'H:\ARP2\ARP_ARPDATA13_22431.ndf', move 'ARPDATA14' to 'H:\ARP2\ARP_ARPDATA14_22431.ndf', move 'ARPDATA15' to 'H:\ARP2\ARP_ARPDATA15_22431.ndf', move 'ARPDATA16' to 'H:\ARP2\ARP_

and start waiting.

Hi there,

As per NMSQL release notes:
 

Error message displayed when recovering old backup data (NW121054)

 

During point-in-time recovery of an old backup, the following error is displayed in

recovery logs:

51281:(pid 5580):nsrsqlrc.c(7399): Could not get saveset

record from mmdb; error: 0x00013884

savetime -1 not in media db

80282:(pid 5580):nsrsqlrc.c(4002): Error getting backup

endtime from media Database.

 

However, the restore completes successfully.

So my understanding here is that this is a cosmetic error however the recovery should work fine.

This is a 2,2 TB DB, so as you understand this is going to take time.

Did yo monitor the nsrsqlrc process? what about NW server, is keeping the connections and restore sessions open/active?

Does it fail or just keeps on waiting? If just keeps on waiting, check on the NW server side if there is any activity, like reading from device, etc.

Thank you,

Carlos

Did EMC send you a link to download the patch ?

If so, can you perhaps forward the link where the patch was downloaded ?

Right click on new binary and go to properties and version tab - somewhere there you will have version and build.
