Access denied to Cluster storage when restoring 2005 Full Text DB to 2014 cluster

  • Hi,

    I am in the process of moving databases from a SQL 2005 Standard version to a 2-node 2014 cluster.

    All of my 2005 databases back up successfully.

    They all restore without issue except for one database that has a full text catalog. I get this message

    Msg 7610, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

    Access is denied to "\\fileStorage\data\MSSQLSERVER\FullTextCatalog", or the path is invalid.

    Msg 3156, Level 16, State 50, Line 2

    File 'sysft_FTCatalog' cannot be restored to '\\fileStorage\data\MSSQLSERVER\FullTextCatalog'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.

    Msg 3119, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

    Problems were identified while planning for the RESTORE statement. Previous messages provide details.

    Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

    RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

    Here is my restore script. I have tried using SSMS with the same result.

    USE [master]

    RESTORE DATABASE [MyDatabase] FROM DISK = N'\\backups\servername.domain.local\MyDatabase_date_Full.BKP' WITH FILE = 1, REPLACE, MOVE N'MyDatabase_Data' TO N'\\fileStorage\data\MSSQLSERVER\MyDatabase_Data.MDF', MOVE N'MyDatabase_Log' TO N'\\fileStorage\logs\MSSQLSERVER\MyDatabase_Log.LDF', MOVE N'sysft_FullTextCatalog' TO N'\\fileStorage\data\MSSQLSERVER\FullTextCatalog', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 5

    GO

    I went as far as giving the folder full access to everyone temporarily and received the same error.

    Any suggestions are more than welcome.

    Thanks in advance for your help
