Hi all, We have Hyper-V server with 10 virtual machines. We are using NetBackup 7.1.0.4 as backup software. Before installing SF Basic 6.0 , backup of all VM's was going fine. Now the backup of all VM's that are in running state is failing with error: Snapshot error encountered (156). Backup of VM's that are not running is going fine. I've installed SF Basic on a second Hyper-V server and I got the same situation. After that I've uninstalled SF Basic from this server and all backups are working fine. In the VEA console I can see the snapshots for the VM volumes created and after 2 minutes they are deleted. (screenshot in attacment) This is the error in the bpfis log from the NetBackup client: 10:58:01.940 [996.2672] <2> onlfi_vfms_logf: INF - snapshot services: vss:Thu May 10 2012 10:58:01.940000 <Thread id - 2672> VSS API ERROR:- API [QueryStatus] status = 42309 [VSS_S_ASYNC_PENDING] 10:58:31.332 [996.5336] <2> send_keep_alive: INF - sending keep alive 10:59:32.174 [996.5336] <2> send_keep_alive: INF - sending keep alive 11:00:33.017 [996.5336] <2> send_keep_alive: INF - sending keep alive 11:01:33.860 [996.5336] <2> send_keep_alive: INF - sending keep alive 11:02:34.702 [996.5336] <2> send_keep_alive: INF - sending keep alive 11:03:35.544 [996.5336] <2> send_keep_alive: INF - sending keep alive 11:04:36.385 [996.5336] <2> send_keep_alive: INF - sending keep alive 11:05:17.632 [996.4896] <2> onlfi_vfms_logf: INF - snapshot services: vss:Thu May 10 2012 11:05:17.632000 <Thread id - 4896> VssNode::getSelectedWriterStatus: GetWriterStatus FAILED for Selected writer [Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer], writer is in state [5] [VSS_WS_WAITING_FOR_BACKUP_COMPLETE]. hrWriterFailure [800423f4] [-2147212300] 11:05:17.632 [996.4896] <2> onlfi_vfms_logf: INF - snapshot services: vss:Thu May 10 2012 11:05:17.632000 <Thread id - 4896> VssNode::make getSelectedWriterStatus FAILED 11:05:17.632 [996.4896] <2> onlfi_vfms_logf: INF - vfm_freeze_commit: vfm_method_errno=[38] 11:05:17.632 [996.4896] <32> onlfi_fim_split: FTL - VfMS error 11; see following messages: 11:05:17.632 [996.4896] <32> onlfi_fim_split: FTL - Fatal method error was reported 11:05:17.632 [996.4896] <32> onlfi_fim_split: FTL - vfm_freeze_commit: method: Hyper-V, type: FIM, function: Hyper-V_make Does someone know what could be the problem? Are there any debuglogs in Storage Foundation to help me with this problem and where can I enable/find them?
Windows 2008 R2 Backup failing since VSF 5.1 SP2 is installed
We have a Windows 2008 R2 failover cluster.We installed Storage Foundation 5.1 SP2 to provide dynamic disks to the cluster. We are trying to run a BMR backup on the active node but we have the folowing error: The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101) The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try this operation again. We adjusted the timeout parameters to 20 minutes than to 30 minutes: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SPP" - Create a new Registry value of type DWORD with name "CreateTimeout" - Change value to 12000000(2*10*60*1000 = 20 mins) in decimal Interestingly the backup is failing again and again: The backup operation stopped before completing. Detailed error: ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x 81000101) The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try this operation again. Windows Backup timed-out before the shared protection point was created. ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101) The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try this operation again. Is there any reason why the windows backup cannot access the SF disks to make VSS snapshots? Before installing SF everything was working like a charm.
