Installing Veritas Cluster Server 6.0 (with VVR and GCO) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager in the same server
Hi Everybody! I have 2 clusters A & B with a single node at each one ( I am using the components of VVR and GCO). So I am wonder about the the possibility of installing VCS 6.0 and SEPM 11 (single server member of the cluster A), and install VCS 6.0 and SEP client mode 11 in the other server (this server is member of cluster B). if so, what I should take care to avoid interference of each other? Best Regards Marlon
Storage Foundation vs VMWare and RDM's
Hi We need to share a disk between a physical server and a Virtual server. My Proposed solution - use Storage Foundation to share the RDM disk between the physical and virtual server. However our VMware team are completely against using RDM's. They say it’s not best practice and can brake VMware. Is that true. Maybe there is a better way sharing a disk between physical and virtual servers? Regards Marius Gordon
VM backup failing after installing SF Basic on Hyper-V Core server
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?
