Hi forum,
we are helping a customer to bring his V 9.2 system from on prem to Azure. For data migration we look at vbr.
From experiments I did my impression is that the restore to a different system only works if the directory paths for database and catalog are the same as on the source system.
Is this correct please?
The requriements for the restore (from the doc) do not list this. But in my expriments the vbr restore works and admintools stops with an error on starting the restored DB (if the directories are not the same).
Did I overlook something?
Thank you
Dieter
Here is what our 9.2 doc says:
To restore a full database backup, you must verify that:
The database is DOWN. You cannot restore a full backup when the database is running.
All of the backup hosts are available.
The backup directory exists and contains the backups from which to restore the data.
The cluster to which you are restoring the backup has:
The same number of nodes as the one used to create the backup
The same architecture (Enterprise Mode or Eon Mode) as the one used to create the backup
Identical node names
The target database must already exist on the cluster to which you are restoring data.
Database can be completely empty, without any data or schema.
The database name must match the name in the backup
All of the node names in the database must match the names of the nodes in the configuration file.
The user performing the restore is the database administrator.
If you are restoring an Eon Mode database, you have met the Requirements for Eon Mode Databases.
