NetBackup status code: 3331

Message: One or more of the input parameters or arguments for restore is invalid.

Explanation: The selected input cannot be restored due to invalid options.

Recommended Action: Perform the following as appropriate:

Check the restoreSelections and alternateRecoveryOptions files. The files must contain valid keyspace and alternate column family names.
If an alternate column family or keyspace specified, make sure that they are specified as part of the restore selection or the restoreSelections is for the full cluster.

The following table contains non-supported restore combinations and the solution for the issue.

Table: Non-supported combinations

Error Details	Scenario	Solution
`Keyspace` and its column family cannot be renamed together.	Restoring both keyspace and its column family with new names.	Specify either the keyspace's `newName` or the column family's `newName` in the `alternateRecoveryOptions`.
No selection should be given when ALL KEYSPACES is recovered.	When performing a full recovery and `keyspaces` are selected.	Remove `selectionCriteria` from `restoreSelections`.
Missing or blank `keyspace` in selection	Performing a selective recovery and selecting column family without specifying its `keyspace`.	Add the `keyspace` in the `selectionCriteria` to identify the `columnFamilies` that belong to the corresponding keyspace.
`Keyspace` cannot be renamed if it is not selected in GRANULAR recovery.	Performing a selective recovery and there is a missing `keyspace` name in restoreSelections.	Add the same `keyspace` in the `selectionCriteria` that is also specified in `alternateRecoveryOptions`.
Missing `keyspace` or the `keyspace` name is blank for the corresponding column family being renamed.	Renaming a `column family` without specifying its `keyspace`.	Add the `keyspace` in `alternateRecoveryOptions` to identify which `columnFamilies` belong to which corresponding `keyspace`.

The following table contains input validation errors and the solution for the issue.

Table: Basic input validation errors

Error Details	Scenario	Solution
Missing or blank `keyspace` in selection.	The restoreSelections contains an invalid `keyspace` name.	Add a valid `keyspace` value in `selectionCriteria`.
Blank `column family` in selection.	The restoreSelections contains an invalid `column family` name.	Add a valid `column family` value in `selectionCriteria`.
Missing `keyspace` or the `keyspace` name is blank in the renaming.	The alternateRecoveryOptions contains an invalid `keyspace` name.	Add a valid `keyspace` name value in `alternateRecoveryOptions`.
Missing or blank `column family` name in the renaming.	The alternateRecoveryOptions contains an invalid `column family` name.	Add a valid `column family` name value in `alternateRecoveryOptions`.
The `strategy name` must be either `SIMPLE` or `NETWORK`.	The alternateRecoveryOptions contains an invalid `strategy name` value.	Add `SIMPLE` or `NETWORK` as values in the `strategy name` for the replication strategy that is required for the respective `keyspace` in `alternateRecoveryOptions`.
Missing the `strategy name` and it must be either SIMPLE or NETWORK.	The alternateRecoveryOptions does not contain a `strategy name` value.	Add `SIMPLE` or `NETWORK` as values in `strategy name` for the replication strategy that is required for the respective `keyspace` in `alternateRecoveryOptions`.
