I have a Hyper-V server running a number of VM's. Server is running 2012 R2 Hyper-V Core version; the powershell only one.
Server has had the NBU v7.5.0.6 client installed and configured. Master server and Media server is also v7.5.0.6.
When I try and configure a Hyper-V policy it fails when trying to validate the client as a Hyper-V host with the pop up box "Please enter a valid Hyper-V machine name".
Examining the bpVMutil logs on the Hyper-V server shows the following:
15:19:22.263 [2680.3780] <2> logparams: C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\bpVMutil.exe 768 _NONE_ _NONE_
15:19:22.263 [2680.3780] virt_test_log: log function is called
15:19:22.263 [2680.3780] <2> bpVMutil main: cmd = 3 ESXMount = _NONE_ ESXserver = _NONE_, flags = 0
15:19:22.263 [2680.3780] <2> bpVMutil main: ListHyperVVMs returned -1
15:19:22.263 [2680.3780] <2> bpVMutil main: EXIT STATUS 0: the requested operation was successfully completed
It is as if the ListHyperVVMs function within bpVMutil is returning no VM's found but there are; they are 6 and all are up and running!
This is not the first Hyper-V policy I have; in fact I have a good number. One other policy is running Win2012 R2 so I know that all works but not this time around.
For the purpose of the exercise windows firewall has been disabled.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Malcolm

as per the 7.x Virtual machine Compatibility Guide ,NetBackup 7.5.0.6 adds support for Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012. it does not mention for the R2. so its out of support as of now

Hello,
what the ports that you opened between your media server and Hyper -V server? 902 should open
in your policy - Hyper-v tab, what you select in primary VM id? VM host name best choice.

As I travelled home I wondered; is Win 2012 R2 actually supported yet? I know I said above I already had one but that was not the case; I had Win 2012 Hyper-V server, not R2.

Yes; support have also confirmed no R2 support as yet. It is slated for a future v7.6.0.x release which of course means a full Master and Media server upgrade cycle.
Oh well; back to individual client backups for the moment.

I am using Netbackup 6.5.0.6 enterprise & configuring the Hyper-V new backup policy. The host is having a operating system Microsoft Windows server 2012-R2 datacenter. I am getting the error while creating a policy that "please enter a valid hyper-v machine name". Can anybody please help me to get this fixed.

Please read my last post; Win2012-R2 is not yet supported. Support is slated for a future v7.6.0.x release.
