Error verifying dedup job

[0zzY]

Hi all,

i have a dedup job that copy a couple of vm (using vmware agent) to an iscsi storage.

After the job i receive an error at the beginning of the verifying process. The error say to check if there is an error in the read/write process, and to check the destination storage if it's a disk..blablabla

In the event viewer i can see two errors:

1. Source BEDBG. Process spoold.exe requested memory dump but the maximum number of memory dump has already been reached
    
2. adamm mover error: deviceio: sts_open_image failed BEOST_00000035 

I have other job like this, for other vm, scheduled in different day, and they works fine, both backup and verify process.

someone can halp me?

Thanks

Hello there,

    It seems that the Dedupe service (spoold.exe) is crashing when the verify job starts. You can try to start the verify job seperately (outside the main backup job) to see if it gives the same result.

Last week i runned the verification job manually and goes fine, but not today.

All the bexec services are running (also the dedup services)

I have seen that these services:

Bexec PureDisk (manual startup)

PostgreSQL (automatic startup)

Bexec Deduplication Engine (automatic startup)

are all stopped.

I haveIdone SP1a  but without changes

My dedeup repository is still marked as offline.

If i try to start manually these services, deduplication engine doesn't start

I have tryed this solution http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH152886

but the error i have received is different, see attachment

Hello there,

   Some of the .bin files and .bhd files are missing from the dedupe folder.  Till those files are recovered I don't think dedupe folder will come Online ... as service would not start.

I would again request to open a Support case as the Support engineers will surely be able to help you to get back those bin files.

Thanks,

I've had had a similar problem and in the end I had to reinstall the complete dedup folder/license/device.

In the first step the service coulnd't start - like your problem.
A few weeks later the same phenomen - but the complete dedup folder was GONE !

My assumption was it has had something to do with using a trial dedup license, and somewhen afterwards it was a mess of uninstalling / wrong license keys and all that stuff.

Did you use a "real dedup" key from the start on ?

If i delete dedup repository and restart the backup job, will dedup services restart?

chances are very rare
