EV 903 Backup Script Not Working

can you post your script here?

for the bpstart it is:

powershell -psconsolefile "C:\Program Files\EnterpriseVault\EVShell.psc1" -command "&{Set-VaultStoreBackupMode -Name 'Default UpgradeGroup' -EVServername EVSERVER -EVObjectType VaultStoreGroup}"

Similar thing for the indexes and the reverse for the bpend script.

The template created these commands and they were identical to the ones used the day before when it was at V8 and it worked fine.

The commands when run manually from the EV powershell also work OK so it seems that there is an issue with calling it.

It feels like the EVManagedLibrary is not loading correctly so will look into that but any ideas are welcome

Thanks

Logged it with support case ref 415-835-501 (if any of you Symantec people want to push this through!)

I will keep the thread updated as i get anything

Looks to be a hard slog - had to push and ask for it to be looked at in more depth as having it suggested that it is a NetBackup Issue

Will keep this updated by it is not looking like it will be quick

Just to confirm this is a bug in EV 903 - if you want to use a script to put EV into backup mode then it must run from the EV directory

In our case the NetBackup bpstart/end_notify calls other batch files in the EV directory that puts EV into (and out of) backup mode.

sorry, just trying to clarify. what exactly has to be in the EV directory? your original script calls powersershell to execute a PS script within your EV directory. i don't follow what the solution exactly entailed.

Ok - just to make things clearer ...

Firstly this only seems to apply to 9.0.3

So if i use NetBackup to call the powershell the bpstart_notify script is in the \netbackup\bin\ directory and it calls the powershell command to put EV into backup mode.

When this runs it fails due to an issue loading the EVManagedLibrary.dll

I have run this bat file manually whilst logged in as the VSA and it gives this error.

If I move the bpstart_notify script to \program files\enterprise vault\ and run it manually it works perfectly

If i use the EVPowerShell from the start menu it also works perfectly.

So currently my bpstart_notify script actually calls another .bat file wich is in the Enterprise Vault directory that has the PowerShell command in it and that works fine.

Engineering has tested this and confirmed my results so they are just working out why this is the case so that they can put it right.

Hope this makes it clearer

That is a really strange issue/bug, thanks for updating.
