We have the following
Backup Server with BE2012 + Dell TL4000 (with 2x LTO5 drives)
Hyper-V Cluster (4 nodes) all running Windows 2008 R2
Dell Equallogic 6100X
There are about 8 VM’s all running Windows 2008 R2, except two which are windows 2003.
Host integration tools V4.5 is installed on all the 5 servers and all the VM’s (except the windows 2003 as HIT V4.5 is not supported)
BE2012 agents are installed on all the physical servers and VM's
In backup exec the job is pointing to the cluster and only the “Microsoft Hyper-V HA Virtual Machines” is selected.
Under advanced open file – I have tried the following
Use Snapshot technology – Microsoft VSS copy server – System – use Microsoft software shadow copy provider
- This runs fine – but the CSV is put into redirected mode
Use Snapshot technology – Microsoft VSS copy server – Hardware – use technology provided by hardware manufacturer
- Fails with the error V-79-10000-11225 – VSS snapshot technology that you selected does not support snap technology for this volume
Use Snapshot technology – Microsoft VSS copy server – System – use Microsoft software shadow copy provider – Advanced Disk-based backup enabled for Offhost backup
- Fails with the same error as above along with “ADBO: Offhost backup initialization failure”
Use Snapshot technology – Microsoft VSS copy server – Hardware – use technology provided by hardware manufacturer
- Fails with the same error
Anyone have any ideas where we are going wrong... Sadly Dell’s web site is lacking in BE2012 specific information. What I found related to BE2010 and did not appear to point to the correct configuration.
Ideally we are looking for the ability to run two jobs on the two tape drives concurrently, If we try to do it now with the CSV in redirected mode the 2nd jobs fails saying a backup is in progress.
