Hi Dennis, SAN Client restore functionality was well tested for NetBackup 6.5.6. What is the exact error code/message that you see when the job fails? Do you have the case number?
If the restore is urgent, as a workaround, you can restore files over the LAN. There is no difference in the backup image file format when using Fibre Transport mechanism instead of LAN for data transfers. To do that, go to - Media and Device Management > Devices > SAN Clients > SAN Client Usage Preference Uncheck "Use defaults from the Master Server Configuration" and select "Never". Once the restore is done or the issue is fixed, you can go back to default settings. Hope this helps!

They are SAN Client (clients) and we are finding that we are unable to restore anything for these boxes. Master/Media servers are all Solaris 10 boxes. We cover the entire spectrum of client hardware & O/S's (almost 2,000 backup clients). All we want to do is restore some files that the customer needs restored. The two SAN Clients that we are trying to restore files on are both Solaris boxes. And just so you know, we've tried a test on a Linux box and it doesn't work there either. We do have a CASE Open with Symantec, but it appears that this is a real issue that needs a patch to fix. Anybody here run into this problem???
