Unable to see Updates in Symantec Installation Manager SIM
Hi I've hit a problem involving SIM, that I hope someone can help me with. I attempted to update the server to the latest version of Symantec Management Platform, SP2, unfortunately it went wrong with the validation stage when it tried to install after downloading. Subsequently I ran a rebuild on my installed copy of Symantec Management Platform. Which also initially went wrong but has since run without error. My problem is now the SIM tool is no longer showing anything under the "View and Install Updates" and so I am unable to upgrade to the latest version of Symantec Management Platform. I believe the downloaded installation file that SIM would have initially downloaded is still present on the server. Is there a way to run the upgrade without using SIM? I hope this makes sense. Many Thanks.1.2KViews9likes7CommentsP2V migration to VMware ESXi 5.x using System Recovery 2011
I need to do a P2V migration of a SBS 2003 to a VMware ESXi 5.x. We have Symantec System Recovery 2011 installed on the SBS. What's the best way of doing this: Hotclone Run a System Recovery backup (creates a .sv2i and .v2i images) Use System Recovery to restore the .sv2i to the ESXi host OR... Use VMware Converter to convert the .sv2i to the ESXi host Coldclone (is this even possible to an ESXi 5.x?) Boot off supplied Symantec Recovery CD Run backup direct to the ESXi host Is there a preferred method? Any other tips (i.e. hot vs cold clone)? Anything I should watch out for (i.e. DC, Exchange DB)? Many thanks.Solved1.8KViews7likes9CommentsProblem with discovery tool from ssr2011
Hi, I work for a relatively big company(1400 servers) and i'm involved in the upgrade project of our BESR 8.5 architecture (to SSR2011) I installed SSR on a 2008R2 server and tried to start with but I have some problems with discovering computers I want to manage. I need to import from from my AD 10 servers for testing and cannot handle with. Can someone tell me which options I have to select to import precisely those servers? I used the action "import Microsoft active directory " tool then the first option -> import computer resources from "my domain" starting from "_servers" and using default columns mappings(do not understand how this option works seen values I can check) import all computers (with ldap search filter fulfilled with cn=COMPUTERNAME,ou=_servers,ou=xxx etc dc=net and it did import all computers from the OU!!! What can I do???!!! can I delete the content of this discovery from my database (sql 2008)? or rollback to a previous snapshot?) Otherwise I have an other problem some computers have been added automatically. On some of them (6), half are correctly managed and backed up but on others(2008 SP2) I get error messages when I try to force SSR addin install (error code : ) unavailable on the console, need to go on the server directly...) when I try to install manually, destination folder is empty why not) and then I get "internal error 2869.errorDialog" Please help me, Cordially1.7KViews6likes12CommentsSystem Recovery Management Solution 2013

Hi there, We are currently running SSR 2011 doing backups on 11 HP Proliant ML 350, IBM eSeries, and Dell Poweredge servers to a local LaCie 10TB 5Big Network 2 NAS device with an offsite copy over a 10MB Metro-E fiber link to a duplicate NAS device at a remote branch. 6 of the 11 servers backup locally and offsite fine, the remaining five do not complete the offsite, but do complete the incremental recovery points successfully each day to the local NAS. The partitions vary from multiple logical drives using RAID 5 to a single mirrored partition on each server. It does not appear consistent on similar ML generations with similar partitions/RAID levels. There are multiple discussions that dance around this issue. Before we try moving the offsite array local and try to perform the backups during the day, removing the offsite device each night, we want to try one more thread and see if any progress has been made resolving this. Thanks!Solved1.8KViews5likes14CommentsCorrect backup policy
Hi all have some pcs that have more than one partition, and there is one or more among these partitions that i don't whant to backup, and some others that are small partition, without letter, reserved for the system (created at the installation of windows) For example, the simplest situation is: 3 partitions: -no letter - system reserver -c: the boot drive -d: some large archiving partition I don't whant to backup Now, in these situation, how to configure a correct backup policy? Actually, for those pcs, i configured a backup policy for the partition c:, but in case of crash, I think i would be in trouble, as I don't have a backup for the no-letter partition, that, beeing system reserver, should contain some system files i suppose. In pcs where there is no d partition, i configured to backup all partitions, and so also the no-letter partition is backed up. How to solve this problem? I configure backup policies from SSR manager, and the no-letter partition are not well-listed (there are many, and you don't understand wich is the one of the pc you whant to backup....)Solved490Views5likes5CommentsSSR2011 recovery disk boot freeze
Dear all, we use SSD disk in order to recover production computers since one year with several type of DELL computers without trouble. Now we use Fujitsu computer, and with some of them (Esprimo E700 "D3061") the multilingual recovery disk "SSR1001_AllWin_Multilingual_SrdOnly.iso" do not boot correctly (it freeze at loading). The same conputer boot correctly with "SSR1001_AllWin_English_SrdOnly.iso" (but in this case we do not have french keyboard support, ... ). Is there a way to have a more verbose boot sequence or something to do to find what is the trouble? Thanks a lot for your help!
