Hi,
Recently the support for backup of Windows Server 2012 R2 using NBU 7.5.0.6 was announced.
I do have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster. I have installed the special package of 7.5.0.6 for Windows Server 2012.
But when I try to add a client by browsing the virtuel guests running on the cluster I simply can't see any...
I can add a client by typing the display name. But when I run the backup it fails immidiately with error code 48 ("client hostname could not be found(48)").
I'm running NBU 7.5.0.6 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V clusters without any problems.
What is the problem?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards
Henrik

The problem may be one of the following:
The NetBackup master server cannot communicate with the virtual machine.
The host name of the virtual machine is not available.
The NetBackup job details log contains the following message:
Error bpbrm(pid=8072) Nameuse [0], VM [<vm name>] not found on any node. Is either powered off or does not exist.
The virtual machine is either not running, or it is booting up. Make sure that the virtual machine is running and then rerun the backup.

Hi,
Thank you for your comments, inn_kam.
I have done some further research: I have installed a Windows Server 2012 R2 stand-alone Hyper-V host. I've also installed NBU 7.5.0.6 and created a virtual guest.
But when I try to save the Hyper-V backup policy I get this error message:
Error validating Hyper-V machine name. Server failed to list VM's (-1)
No guest virtual machines are displayed when I try to browse.
So the problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with the cluster feature, but has something to do with NBU 7.5.0.6 and Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V when you want to take a Hyper-V backup
Best regards

Hi
I've got the same prob with hyperV cluster in 2012R2
I think there's no support yet in 7.5.0.6, look on page 33 of this doc http://kbdownload.symantec.com/resources/sites/BUSINESS/content/live/TECHNICAL_SOLUTION/127000/TECH1...
maybe in 7.6 ....

W2012 Hyper-V is very much supported as from NBU 7.5.0.6.
Even the (previous) Oct 2013 version of 'Statement of Support for NetBackup 7.x in a Virtual Environment' says the following on p. 33:

Thanks for the new link but there's also no support for Windows 2012 R2 hyper-V Cluster
Only for Windows 2012 server ...
HyperV support :
Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012.
Support for Windows Server 2012 begins at NetBackup 7.5.0.6.
See “Support for Hyper-V on Windows 2012” on page 33.
And on page 33, there's nothing on Windows server 2012 R2

I am getting slightly bored of threads about Windows 2012 R2 being answed as though they are about Windows 2012 (usually from people who should know/read posts better), we are running 7.6.0.1 and are still seeing the same issue on a Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster.

I have got a news from my Symantec Account manager
"The HyperV 2012 R2 will be supported in Netbackup 7.6.0.2 whose output
is scheduled end of March, this date can be change"
