Why am I not able to restore a voplume from a snapshot to a destination?
sdnacl01::> volume snapshot show -vserver snapv_sdnacl01 -volume sdvm011_clone_B

I also tried it here and the same error.

Hi,
I will test that out.
Hi,
Long time, curious to know if you attempted restore ? Were you able to do it ?
Thanks!
No, I was not able to get it to work and I didn't understand the principal of restoring to a .txt file when you are trying to obtain a data file.
FYI: *txt was my example. It could be anything : B'cos you are using 'restore-file' in your command 🙂
So what should the file extension be if I want to restore and later mount to my VMware server to mount?
