b) Restore tables using gpdbrestore from a specified location and create a new database

[gpadmin@sachi ~]$ gpdbrestore -R sachi:/disk4/backup/db_dumps/20150111

20150111:17:31:13:023833 gpdbrestore:sachi:gpadmin-[INFO]:-Starting gpdbrestore with args: -R sachi:/disk4/backup/db_dumps/20150111

20150111:17:31:14:023833 gpdbrestore:sachi:gpadmin-[ERROR]:-gpdbrestore error: Database test1 does not exist and -e option not supplied

Solution:

1. Open gp_cdatabase_1_1_20150111172357 and change the database name to new database test1.

[gpadmin@sachi 20150111]$ cat gp_cdatabase_1_1_20150111172357

-- Database creation

CREATE DATABASE test1 WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UTF8' OWNER = gpadmin;

[gpadmin@sachi 20150111]$

2. use -e option to create the database.

Now run the restore

[gpadmin@sachi ~]$ gpdbrestore -e test1 -R sachi:/disk4/backup/db_dumps/20150111
