problems with credentials

Hi,

Everyday I have problems with backup exec.

Anyway, the day's problem is that (I dont know why) be2012 does not authenticate to the esxi to backup some VMs powered off.

The error is the following:

The job failed with the following error: Could not connect to the vCenter server or ESX server. Please verify the credential supplied for login.

The login/password is correct, I have tried to make a new job, I have rebooted the media server, I have renetered the root password, I can browse the esxi to the san when I make the job, but when I start the backup it gave me that error.

I have the same problem with all the vm on that esxi, but yesterday and in the past it has worked.

Yesterday I was been all morning with backup exec support to solve an other problem.. maybe the support guy has changed something.. I don't know.

thank you.

    Hello,

    Check out this document to verify the BESA permissions 

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH129645 

    also 

    check your services in Windows and make sure they are running as the following: 

    •Backup Exec Agent Browser server: start up type - Automatic and logon as Domain\Username
    •Backup Exec Job Engine Service: start up type - Automatic and logon as Domain\Username
    •Backup Exec Server Service: start up type - Automatic and logon as Domain\Username
    •Backup Exec Device and Media service: start up type - Automatic and logon as Domain\Username
    •Backup Exec Remote Agent servicestart up type - Automatic and logon as local system account
    •SQL Server (BKUPEXEC) - Automatic startup and log on as Local System account
    then verify the password by going to properties click on Log on and re enter the password of the 'Username" (same as the System Default Logon for BackupExec)

     

    hope this helps
