Problem
Remote NDMP Restore hangs after media gets positioned.
Error
From the job details
Feb 21, 2011 3:42:08 PM - mounted <media_id>; mount time: 0:00:38
Feb 21, 2011 3:42:09 PM - positioning <media_id> to file 5
Feb 21, 2011 3:42:28 PM - positioned <media_id>; position time: 0:00:19
Restore hangs at this point.
BPTM log (/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bptm) to just stop immediately after attempting to read the tape information after the mount -

Environment
NetBackup 7.0.1 Master Servers doing NDMP restores to NetBackup 7.0 and lower media servers.
Cause
NetBackup 7.0.1 introduces the ability to perform multiplex backup of remote NDMP servers.
The 6.5.x media server is not capable of performing a multiplex NDMP restore.
In the bprd log (/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bprd) determined that there was a media server at NetBackup 6.5.2 level in this environment -
12:00:40.960 [24775] <2> local_getHostInfo: platform of client 2ksewrwww1.tak.bup is Linux, RedHat2.6
12:00:41.030 [24775] <2> bpcr_get_uname_rqst: bpcr.c: 3777 count=22, buffer=UNAME_SYSNAME = Linux
12:00:41.030 [24775] <2> bpcr_get_uname_rqst: bpcr.c: 3777 count=43, buffer=UNAME_NODENAME = 2ksewrwww1.taketwo.online
....
12:00:41.310 [24775] <2> getPatchLevel: level = >6.5.2<
Solution
Per TechNote TECH145842 the workaround was to create NON_MPX_RESTORE touch file on the master server. This did not work in this case.
Only applying engineering binary for ET2245820 resolved the problem.
