Hi,
 
I have issues with SQL remote restore. I follow SQL restore instructions profided my Veritas and I received folowing errors:
 
In restore status window:
INF - Created VDI object for SQL Server instance <server name>. Connection timeout is <300> seconds.
ERR - Error in GetConfiguration: 0x80770003.
---------
 
In Event log on remote host:

Event Type: Error

Do you have any ideas why restore fails? I tried different SQL servers, same issues. Local restore works w/o any problems..

Win20003, SQl 2000, NBU 6.0Mp4

Thanks!

INF - Created VDI object for SQL Server instance <server name>. Connection timeout is <300> seconds.

Have you set the appropriate altnames?

I don't think so this will help. I noticed that error in event log is recorded right after restore procedure starts and nothing is happening for the rest 595 seconds.. :(

Hi,
 
Thanks Bob for interesting link.
 
I spoke with Symantec support and found out that I had to run restore script on destination host.. :D I guess I missed this in PDF... :P

I bet you will never miss that again! Experience may not be the best teacher but it certainly is the hardest :smileyvery-happy:

Yeah, it definitely is. I've just review VERITAS PDF again and didn't find in instruction that I have to run restore script on destination server.. :D
 
Anyway, I learned my lesson!
