error in duplication

Hi!
We've more than 80 virtual servers on VMWare 6.5 platform. Daily backups of VM run fine. We duplicate the data every weekend to a DR site via SLP process. Only 2 windows servers fail to duplicate.
the activity log show:

Of course, NBU tries to duplicate the images all the weekend unsuccesfully.
I can't explain why this failure occurs only on those servers.
I'll appreciate your help.
Thanks,

If you are on 7.6, this tech note may apply

If MSDP is running on Linux, check the OS has the right kernel setting applied

Hi Nicolai!

my version is 8.1 .

Thanks

Interesting. It's the same repositories for all VM? Do all VM use the same SLP?

Your error sounds as if the SLP is trying to duplicate images that have already been expired.
Can you try to verify the first copies of the backups? Or try to restore them?

Hi

I am facinig similar issue with replication (well import at target domain) with 2 backups out of 5. 3 are being imported these remaining two do fail. I am replicating from 8.1 to 8.0. I have a case opened with VRTS and we did following:

  • bpverify at source domain - no issus
  • fileget at source
  • dcscan
  • catdbutil

back line CE is about to send further steps.

VRTS is opening a Etrack for the same as looks like there is some bigger issue...

I was asked also to run msdpcheck.pl --fullcheck (I was provided with this perl script) - but it will last 1h per each 1TB and during that period storage server will be in down state... So since this will take long time for now I can not run it now... 

Do we got any resolution on it ?
