Netbackup restore failed

In our veritas netbackup for DB2 on AIX, the backup could be done
successfully and the backup image would be listed using bplist on the
AIX client.

I have made several backup image, but only one image would be restored
successfully. Restore with all the other images would get
SQL2025N An I/O error "515" occurred on media "VENDOR".
>From the netbackup log, we get
readCommFile: ERR - timed out after 900 seconds while reading from /

Does anyone has any idea on it?

Thanks.

1. In the first line from the NetBackup "bpdb2" log, the 900 second
(15 minute) timeout is the default for CLIENT_READ_TIM EOUT.
CLIENT_READ_TIM EOUT should be longer than it takes to backup your
largest tablespace, and should be set in the "/usr/openv/netbackup/
bp.conf" file on your client AND media server. For instance, to
increase this to 30 minutes add:

CLIENT_READ_TIM EOUT = 1800

2. The second line from the NetBackup 'bpdb2" log shows "could not
read from comm file". This is the progress log that is stored on the
client. All the NetBackup processes involved in the backup need access
to this file. Make sure that the user that is backing-up DB2 has read/
write permissions to the "/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops/dbext/
logs" directory.

3. Also check connectivity between the client and the other servers in
the configuaration (master and media).

4. All else fails, open a case with Symantec.

Hope this helps.

Hi There, We have an issue on our db2 restores. We do database dumps every night, and restore them to development servers every morning. This works fine with no errors. However if we backup those images to tape using Veritas netbackup, and then restore those images and try to restore them to the database, we get "The backup image is corrupt". If we run db2ckbkp against that image we get "Unable to decompress image from different platform"....
