Backup Exec Causing File Locks on VMWARE LUNS
I have look around the net for answers to this but not found many answers, any help from the community would be gratefully appreciated. Our setup is ESXi 4.1 x 4 Servers (HP DL380 G6) HP / Left Hand iSCSI SAN P4500 2 Physical Backup Servers both HP DL380 G6 Backup Servers Running Backup Exec 2010 R2 Automount Disabled and have run several scrubs LUN's on the backup server are connected at an iSCSI level, but not brought online in windows We have had 2 times where our whole environment, nearly all VM's became unresponsive and in the vSphere console they where orphaned or inaccessible. Rebooting SAN resolves the issue, but of coarse the whole environment has to be shut down. I have been able to reproduce the fault with a test VM Current Backups that are working are done as follows. Backup server cannot see production LUN's in the iSCSI initiator, SAN transport method in backup exec is disabled Backups use the hot add method to perform backups. This has worked for the last 3 weeks with no issues, Apart from being very slow. How we reproduced the fault Created 1 new LUN on the SAN Created 1 new data store in vSphere on the new LUN Cloned a VM and placed on data store Verified that auto mount on the backup server was disabled Connected this new LUN on the backup server, disk has not been initialised or brought online by windows. Backed up this VM using the SAN method, disabled it from using hot add for this backup What happened The Virtual Disk for this VMBackup started, successfully created a snapshot of the VM Backup exec backed up all data Snapshot was attempted to be removed which failed with the following errors Remove snapshot TEST_CC-IT-VPC-01 Unable to access file <unspecified filename> Tried to migrate this VM to another host and got an error stating it could not access The vmx configuration file The Virtual Disk for that VM Anyone else ran into this issue or know how to fix this ?Re: Selecting backup items when Browsing Lotus Domino Databases Backup backupexec hangs

I am trying to backup a remote domino server. The media server is running Win2000/SP4, BE11D all the latest hotfixes the Media server is licensed for the Domino agent, The remote server is running win2000/SP4 and the latest remote agent is installed. The backup exec media server is reporting the size of the databases incorrectly and when the backup is running it hangs when attempting to backup any of the domino databases. I have to restart all the BE services on the Media Server to stop the backup. I receive no error reports or log file entries. HELP !
